Hamilton's mother disapproved of the match and was of the opinion that 'the daughter of a private gentleman, however accomplished, was not qualified to be allied to her' and the couple eventually divorced, by Act of Parliament in 1794 without children. He had also previously inherited his mother's title of Baron Hamilton of Hameldon when she died in 1790. Hamilton died in 1799, aged 43 at Hamilton Palace and was buried in the family mausoleum at Hamilton, Scotland.
