Her father was Hercule Mériadec de Rohan, Duke of Rohan-Rohan and his first wife Anne Geneviève de Lévis. As a member of the House of Rohan she enjoyed the prestigious rank of a ''Foreign Princess'' given to her family in the early 17th century due to them claiming ancestry back to the Dukes of Brittany. As such, this allowed the style of ''Highness''.

In 1735, her grand mother Charlotte de La Mothe-Houdancourt〔she was credited for saving the infant Louis XV from the royal doctors in 1712 during a measles epidemic at court〕 retired from her post as Governess of the Children of France.
