Lucia Elizabeth Balcombe Abell (1802 − 29 June 1871) was a friend of Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile at Saint Helena.

[5] The French officers and servants were jealous of the young English girl, who addressed Napoleon as "Boney", without being reprimanded by him.

St Helena Governor Hudson Lowe disapproved of the friendship between the Balcombes and Napoleon, suspecting them of smuggling secret messages out of Longwood House.

[1] In 1830 she returned to New South Wales with her brother William and together they took up a land grant adjoining their father's property near Bungonia.

[3] After further travels in France and Algeria Betsy Abell died in London, on 29 June 1871,[1] and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
