Harriet Windsor-Clive, Baroness Windsor (30 July 1797 – 9 November 1869) was a landowner and wealthy benefactor in the Penarth and Cardiff area of South Wales. She is probably best known for developing Penarth Dock in competition with the Marquess of Bute's docks in Cardiff and for her charitable donations in the area. A daughter of the 5th Earl of Plymouth, she was granted the title 13th Baroness Windsor in 1855 after the deaths of her sister and brother.
Harriet Windsor was born on the 30 July 1797 in London the third child and second daughter of Other Hickman Windsor, the Earl of Plymouth. In 1819 she married Robert Henry Clive, a Member of Parliament for Ludlow, Shropshire. Clive died in 1854 and, in 1855 (after the death of her elder sister) Harriet Clive was granted the title 13th Baroness Windsor, after the title had been held in abeyance since 1833. She legally changed her name to Harriet Windsor-Clive in November 1855.
After the sudden death of their brother the 6th Earl of Plymouth in 1833, Harriet and her sister Maria had become co-heiresses of their father's estate, known as the Plymouth Estate. It covered the land in Glamorgan on which the town of Penarth and the Cardiff suburb of Grangetown are now built. It also included St Fagans Castle, the family's seat in the area. With Harriet being the favourite sister, the bulk of the Plymouth Estate was left to her, including Hewell Grange in Worcestershire and St Fagans Castle. Previously living in Essex, Harriet moved to Cardiff while the St Fagans property was restored. When the restoration was complete, they lived at Hewell Grange but visited St Fagans frequently.
