Princess Louisa was one of two of King James II's children by his second wife, Maria Beatrice d'Este, to survive childhood. She was buried at the Chapel of Saint Edmund, Church of the English Benedictines, in Paris, but it was destroyed during the French Revolution.

A portion of her remains were interred at the Eglise Paroissiale. It was built by the command of King Louis XIV, but was destroyed during the Revolution. The present building was completed in 1827. In 1824, while the foundations were being dug, workmen discovered three small lead boxes. The first had on it an inscription identifying the contents as some of the remains of King James II of England, who died in exile in Saint Germain-en-Laye in 1701. The second and third boxes contained some of the remains of his wife Queen Mary Beatrice and of their daughter Princess Louise. The monument to James which now stands inside the church and contains the boxes was donated by Queen Victoria.

Her entrails were interred at another site, the Scots College in Paris.
