Princess Caroline Elizabeth was born in Hanover, Germany. Her father was The Hereditary Prince of Brunswick-Lüneburg, the eldest son of The Elector of Hanover . Her mother was Caroline of Ansbach, daughter of Johann Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. As a granddaughter of the Elector of Hanover, she was styled HSH Princess Caroline Elizabeth of Hanover at birth, rather than of Cambridge, the designation available to her through her father's British royal dukedom. Under the Act of Settlement 1701, she was 7th in the line of succession to the British throne.

In 1714, Queen Anne died, and Caroline's grandfather became George I and her father Prince of Wales. Caroline moved with her parents to Great Britain, and resided at St James's Palace, London. She was now styled as a Princess of Great Britain, and was known as HRH Princess Caroline Elizabeth of Wales, and later HRH The Princess Caroline Elizabeth when her father succeeded as George II in 1727.

Princess Caroline Elizabeth died, unmarried and childless, on 28 December 1757, aged 44, at St James's Palace. She was buried at Westminster Abbey.
