March 14 (died) at his home in East Moulsey (sic), aged 73.

The Right Ho; and his frank and modest manners gaining on the princen. Edmund Burke.....When the allied monarchs reviewed the fleet at SpitheadSir Edmund had the distinguishing honour of being nominated Naval Aide-de-Camp,to his Majesty( the Prince Regent).
The flattering and distinguished marks of favour experienced by Sir Edmund...
from our present gracious sovereign had their origin in a casual interview with his royal personage...many years ago. Sir Edmund and his lady had for some years been occasional visitors to Brighton....he had been mentioned to HRH as a most heroic and spirited seaman; and his frank and modest manners gaining upon the prince, he very soon became a constant and indispensable guest at the pavilion; and upon HRH becoming Regent, a more permanent attachment ensued, as he received an appointment in the royal household soon after; and upon the demise of the late king; he became enrolled amongst the Grooms of the Bedchamber to the new Sovereign. Sir Edmund was without guile or deception; but sometimes his good nature...led to his being made the vehicle of the artifices with which the waggish guests were inclined to enliven the princely table during the festive hour. Mr Sheridan regarded him much for his sincerity of heart and frank character, and always spoke of him as well deserving of the confidence of his royal master.So high did he stand in the estimation of his royal master, who loved his nautical humour, that of late years he has been almost domesticated with him.
