During her exile, Isabel remained active in the monarchist cause, maintaining correspondence with Brazilian monarchists and participating in events and meetings that aimed to keep the memory of the monarchy alive in Brazil. Despite being away from her home country, Isabel continued to be deeply interested in Brazilian affairs, especially the abolition of slavery, a cause to which she was always fervently dedicated.

Isabel is remembered not only for her political role, but also for her resilience and dedication to the royalist cause during her years of exile.
