The Sovereign Mexican Constituent Congress decreed on June 22, 1822[1] the following: The Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg decreed on September 16, 1865[2] the following: Mrs. Josefa de Iturbide has passed away, the only one of all the children of Emperor Agustin de Iturbide who survived.

Her last years were spent in this capital, completely withdrawn, rarely leaving her room at the Hotel Comonfort, where she lived.

Several governments did justice to the Princess of Iturbide, decreeing that she be paid a regular pension, which was the only resource she had.

The funeral procession was modest and simple, her body being buried in the Pantheon of the Villa de Guadalupe, Mexico City.

[...] Heaven forbid that the death of the last daughter of the man to whom we owe our homeland destroys forever the unjust hatred that is fictitiously excited in the ignorant classes against the enlightened name of Iturbide, and that the abandonment in which his last daughter died is the last manifestation of the injustice of Mexico towards the family of his greatest hero [...] Josefa de Iturbide ended her life, to whom destiny elevated her twice to the rank of Princess of Mexico
