In recognition of the Monegasque nuptials this coming weekend; I’ve chosen to acquaint my fellow esoteric with some of the bridegroom’s Scottish relatives.
Descending from one of the oldest of the ancient families of Scotland
The Douglas-Hamilton’s, no doubt in recognition of their royal aspirations were connected by blood with the ancient and the parvenu of Europe ’s titled elite. This royalty by proxy came about with the marriage of the 11th Duke of Hamilton and Brandon
'Magnifico'
The 11th Duke’s father, Alexander Douglas-Hamilton, 10th Duke of Hamilton, 7th Duke of Brandon KG PC FRS FSA, was a well known Scottish politician and art collector.
Born on Saturday, October 3, 1767 in St James Square , London Harrow School and at Christ Church , Oxford
The 10th Duke of Hamilton was a Whig, and his political career began in 1802, when he became MP for Lancaster
After his father’s death in 1819, he received numerous titles as was normal for the times. Hamilton was Lord High Steward at King William IV's coronation in 1831 and Queen Victoria Hamilton was also a Trustee of the British Museum
In an effort to secure the succession to the family title, he married Susan Euphemia Beckford, daughter of William Thomas Beckford and Lady Margaret Gordon-daughter of Charles Gordon, 4th Earl of Aboyne, on Thursday, April 26, 1810 in London , England
Through the Beckford’s, Susan was the granddaughter of a Lord Mayor of London, William Beckford, politician and his wife Maria Hamilton, who like the 10th Duke was a descendant of James Hamilton, Duke of Châtellerault.
During his lifetime, Hamilton Hamilton
Lord Lamington, in The Days of the Dandies, wrote of him that 'never was such a magnifico as the 10th Duke, the Ambassador to the Empress Catherine; when I knew him he was very old, but held himself straight as any grenadier. He was always dressed in a military laced undress coat, tights and Hessian boots, &c'. Lady Stafford in letters to her son mentioned 'his great Coat, long Queue, and Fingers cover'd with gold Rings', and his foreign appearance. According to another obituary, this time in Gentleman's Magazine he had 'an intense family pride'.
In July 1882, thirty years after his death, his grandson broke up his remarkable collection of paintings, objects, books and manuscripts when they were sold at auction for £397,562. The manuscripts were purchased by the German government for £80,000. Some were repurchased by the British government and are now in the British Museum
Hamilton’s son and successor, William Alexander, 11th Duke of Hamilton, 8th Duke of Brandon who was born Tuesday, February 19, 1811, married on Thursday, February 23, 1843, Princess Marie of Baden, on her mother's side, a cousin of Emperor Napoleon III.
After their marriage the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton lived at Brodick Castle Europe , elegant and graceful, of the noblest blood and line.' At the same time, he was very popular with the islanders and was known to them as ‘Duke Douglas’. The Princess-Duchess occupied herself by beautifying the natural scenery, having walks and drives created through the woodlands and other inaccessible areas. She improved the Castle gardens, including the vegetable garden, loving the roses that thrived in the island soil. The Princess erected summerhouses all over the area. In these the ladies could remain all day when the men were shooting, as each contained a little kitchen.
At the Castle the Princess kept up, 'pomp and almost regal state'. Among the many visitors were Prince Louis Napoleon and the Duchess of Kent. When the castle was full the visitors' attendants had to sleep in the crofters' cottages.
Queen Victoria
On Wednesday, July 15, 1863 at the age of fifty-two, the 11th Duke died in Paris Victoria Paris Hamilton
Ironically, there were rumors that the Duke's death had been caused by Louis Napoleon. Supposedly, they had had a dispute when gambling. The Duke made a dignified exit from the room to avoid an unpleasant scene but Louis Napoleon followed him, 'and, it was surmised assaulted him violently'.
After her husband’s death, the Princess-Duchess left Arran. Her daughter-in-law the next Duchess was not interested in gardening; therefore, the summerhouses went to ruin and the flower gardens disappeared. Eventually the castle was shut up.
The 11th Duke was succeeded by William Alexander Louis Stephen, 12th Duke of Hamilton, who was born on Wednesday, March 12, 1845. When he came of age, it was said that there were few positions in life more influential and more desirable than that which is occupied by the youthful heir of the house of Hamilton
The title of Duke of Châtellerault, granted to his remote ancestor in 1548, and claimed at different times by various branches of the Hamilton family, was conferred on William Alexander, 12th Duke of Hamilton, by Napoleon III in 1864.
Upon succeeding to the title, the young Duke apparently enjoyed life in France ; as his mother was the Emperor's cousin and led a rather dissolute lifestyle and died on Thursday, May 16, 1895 on his yacht in Algiers
The 12th’s Duke sister, Lady Mary Victoria Douglas-Hamilton was apparently engaged in 1868 to one of the brothers of Princess Marie zu Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, wife of Prince Philippe of Belgium Victoria wrote to Crown Princess Victoria Paris
Lady Mary Victoria Douglas-Hamilton, also known as the Lady Mary Victoria Hamilton, was the Lanarkshire-born, Scottish-German-French great-great-grandmother of Prince Albert II of Monaco
Princess Caroline, Prince Albert I's grandmother, was anxious for her grandson to make such an illustrious alliance. Prince Albert
In January of 1870, the new Princess, no longer able to cope with morning sickness and the gloominess of the palace, had had enough. Accordingly, the strong-willed 19-year-old Scots girl who intensely disliked Monaco and everything about it; decided to leave Monte Carlo for Baden-Baden
Sadly, she and Prince Albert
After her marriage to Prince Albert Victoria wrote to Queen Victoria
Mary Victoria’s second marriage, on Wednesday, June 2, 1880, was to Count Tassilo Festetics von Tolna an officer in the Austrian Imperial guard. During her forty year marriage to Graf, and later Prince Festetics, Lady Mary oversaw enlargement and improvement of the Festetics' main seat, Festetics Palace , and its gardens, in Keszthely, western Hungary
On numerous occasions, she and her husband would entertain her brother the 12th Duke of Hamilton, and his great friend, Edward, the Prince of Wales. There are still portraits extant in the palace of numerous members of her family, including one of her father in full Highland dress. Outside the palace, on either side of the main entrance there are the Armorial bearings of both the Lady Mary and her husband. The Helikon Library at the Festetics Palace contains many works that were brought to Keszthely by the Lady Mary from her father and brother's collections at Hamilton Palace
The palace grounds, on the shores of Lake Balaton , contain’s a mausoleum to the Festetics and is the final resting place of the Lady Mary and her husband.
Mary Victoria died at age seventy-one on Sunday, May 14, 1922.
Hopefully, in light of the recent news out of Monaco of a purported ‘runaway’ future Royal bride, the Princely House of Grimaldi is in store for a reigning couple that has less misfortune within their marriage.
A FALLING HOUSE
The New York Times
June 9, 1872
Our Italian correspondent, in his last letter, tells a curious, miserable story about a young lady, who is, in the present generation the only daughter of a semi-royal historic house, the Princess of Monaco. The recent annuals of her family have certainly been of a melancholy and humiliating character.
The Princess’ grandfather, the 10th Duke of Hamilton, married a daughter of the celebrated Beckford, of Fontill, author of Vathek. The Duke was a man of amazing pride and self-importance; and it is recorded that, when the intended marriage of the Queen with the late Prince Consort was announced, Hs Grace, in acknowledging the announcement of the event, which was forwarded to him, intimated that he thought that Her Majesty might have looked nearer home, which was understood to be his mode of signifying that he would himself have been the most appropriate father-in-law for Queen Victoria.
Eaten up with vanity, he objected to his son marrying a lady of charming disposition, to whom he was deeply attached, because she was not of the highest rank – although she did, curiously enough, subsequently marry a Duke, so his son ultimately married the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke of Baden, which brought very great satisfaction to the foolish old father-in-law, insomuch as his daughter-in-law thus gained recognition abroad as royal, although at the English Court she occupied only a sort of uncomfortable semi-royal position.
The 10th Duke, whose principal occupation in life had for some years been a preparation for his obsequies, which were to include the placing of his body, embalmed by methods for which he sent to Egypt, in an enormous black marble mausoleum, specially erected for the accommodation of his precious corpse, died in 1852. Two years before that event, the decline of his proud family commenced. His only daughter had married the late Duke of Newcastle, when she was eighteen – the marriage being no doubt brought about by the desire to her family to secure a desirable match. In 1850 this lady, having then a family of several children, misconducted herself in a manner which obliged her husband to seek a divorce.
From that time the whole of her family have, with one exception, gone wrong. Her eldest son is a bankrupt, another became mixed up with persons of the worst character, and to this hour it is considered by many very doubtful whether the announcement of his death, followed by a funeral, of which details were given in the papers, was not in truth a mere ruse to escape the penalty for misdemeanors. A third son misbehaved himself in his profession, had to leave it, and has also been through the Bankruptcy Court. The daughter married a drunkard, whose mind gave way through the habits he had contracted. So much for the 10th Duke of Hamilton’s daughter and her children! To turn to the son. His wife had no taste for country life, and preferred the atmosphere of Continental courts, where her pretensions to royal rank gained full admission. So they abandoned the princely homes in England and Scotland , whence they drew seven hundred thousand dollars a year, to live principally at Paris Imperial Court
Some ten years ago, London and Paris Scotland
And a fine reign his had been. Hamilton House in London
The Duke’s only brother was a few weeks ago in the throes of insolvency, and his unfortunate sister is, as we read yesterday, trying to seek refuge for her child from its father, whom she dreads – all because her mother preferred making her a wife of a wretched Princeling of a trumpery petty State, mainly subsisting on the ruined fortunes of gamblers, to seeing her the wife of some honest-hearted Scottish gentleman.
A FOOLISH MATCH FOR A TITLE
Taranaki Herald
October 19, 1872
A daughter of the Duchess of Hamilton, nee Princess Marie of Baden, and cousin of the Emperor Napoleon, was silly enough, some three years ago, to bestow her hand and large fortune on the penniless, ‘Hereditary Prince’ of the infinitesimal State of Monaco, consisting of the town of that name, and the palace of its monarch, whose main revenue is derived from the gaming-house which forms the principal attraction of the town, and is carried on for his benefit, and under his auspices. One would have thought that an English girl, daughter of so high and wealthy a family as that of the Duke of Hamilton, would have hesitated to pay such a price for the acquisition of the title of ‘Princess,’ literally the only advantage she could possibly reap from such a match; but she must have considered the title to be worth buying; as, of her own free will, she married the heir apparent aforesaid. The latter, who wanted her money, had no sooner secured it than he began to treat his wife with studied neglect, varied with brutality, and succeeded in driving the unhappy Princess to fly his roof, and seek for refuge with her relatives, under whose protection she give birth to a son. He husband appeared to have forgotten her existence, and to be so equally indifferent to that of his son and heir; and the young ‘Hereditary Princess’ has continued to reside ever since she left him, with her grandmother, the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden. The ‘Hereditary Prince’ was at Stuttgart , last year, on a visit to the Prince of Hohenzollern, but did not give himself the trouble to go on to Baden , to see his son. The ‘Hereditary Princess’ has recently been staying at the Hotel della Pace in Florence; and that pleasant town was startled a short time since by learning that two police agents had been to the Princess’ hotel, and there presented her with an order from the President of the City Tribunal, claiming her son, aged 20 months. The Princess, however, was equal to the occasion. She made various difficulties about letting the policemen into her apartments; and, during the few minutes thus gained, contrived to send off for her cousin, the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia , wife of the Grand Duke Michael, who is also visiting Florence Florence
THE DUKE OF HAMILTON
A Chapter Of Personal History
The New York Times
November 1, 1873
The Duke of Manchester, who, with his son, Lord Mandeville, left Canada for Europe last week, without visiting the United States Washington Baden , a first cousin of the late Emperor Napoleon. This marriage led to his almost entirely residing abroad, a circumstance arising probably in no slight degree from the fact that the Duchess was not granted a precedency, which she deemed her due at the English Court, over all the other Duchesses. Paris Second Empire great difficulty was experienced in getting ladies of the right sort to come to the Tuileries. Here the Duchess of Hamilton was of great use to her cousins.
The Duke’s splendid lineage was such as even the Faubourg St. Germain was bound to admit, while, however they might sneer at the Duchess’ descent from the Corsican Attorney, there was no denying her being of the Royal house of Baden. The Duke and Duchess consequently became regular residents at Paris Hamilton Palace Highlands , when staying at a country town, and Mr. John Bidwell, of the Foreign Office, who died the other day, wrote a squib on the event parodying ‘The Lay of the Last Minstrel.’ The opening lines ran;
‘The wind was cold, the way was long,
The Duchess seemed so young and strong,
The Mistress of the Robes was she
In the last Derby Ministry.’
MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE OF HAMILTON
The Quebec
December 30, 1873
The Duke of Hamilton is not only a personage as a Duke; his wild career and his turf notoriety made him the foremost topic of scandal mongers in London and Paris
A very quaint, primitive old place indeed is this village of Kimbolton
Long before the sun had gained sufficient strength to change the frosted silver on the way side objects to lustrous diamonds of dew, the road from the railway station from Huntingdon, and from St. Neot’s was alive with holiday parties, all plodding the same way, some afoot, and others in carriages of divers kinds. The short High street was in a flutter of pleased anticipation, the glorious weather calling from everybody that simple-hearted old proverb, ‘Happy is the bride whom the sun shines.’ Toward half-past eleven – indeed, a good long while before that appointed period for the ceremony – there was a steadily increasing convergence about the gates of the churchyard. From this spot to the porch of the church itself the path was covered in and so carpeted and bedight with floral ornaments that it resembled a corridor. Wedding guests not belonging to the procession, either of bride or bridegroom, were admitted to the edifice on the opposite side as were the tenantry of the Duke of Manchester, and all who were so fortunate as to hold the ticket. The Rev. F. C. H. Grant, Vicar of Kimbolton, and private Chaplain of the Duke of Manchester, courteously essayed the impossible task of finding seats for all comers; and to him and his church-wardens many visitors from afar, not provided with the proper passports, were indebted for as good places as they could have had in any circumstances. At half-past eleven the organ began softly to play a beautiful hymn tune as the first detachment of the bridal party entered at the north-west door. The approach along the covered path, lined on either side by villagers was as pretty a sight as any during the day. The Duchess of Manchester, the Duchess of Hamilton, the Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Princess of Monaco, and the Duke of Hamilton’s sister in a somewhat similar, but extremely becoming dress of green velvet, fancifully trimmed down the front with dark leaves. The Countess of Sandwich, the Hon. Mrs. George Fitzwilliam, and other ladies entered some few minutes before the procession of the bridegroom who walked the short distance from the castle to the church. His Grace attired in a dark-blue frock-coat, with light trousers, and wearing the wedding favor, which was generally assumed by all gentlemen present, entered shortly before half-past eleven, attended by his ‘best man,’ the Baron de Tuyll, and accompanied by Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, Viscount Mandeville, Prince Louis of Esterhazy, the Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Sandwich, Lord Ossultston, Mr. Chaplin, the Hon. Geo. Fitzwilliam, the Hon. H. Bourke, the Earl of Gosford, and Colonel Steele – last named, but not least notable of the wedding guests. A minute or two afterwards, the four bridesmaids were seen in the church porch, looking charmingly in the most exquisite of bridal dresses. The young ladies who stood in this relation to the bride were Lady Louisa Montagu, her next sister; Lady Blanche Somerset, daughter of the Duke of Beaufort; Lady Florence Montagu, the bride’s cousin and daughter of the Earl of Sandwich; and Lady Alice Montagu, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Manchester. The bridesmaids wore simple white silk dresses and small white bonnets, each with a deep crimson rose on one side. A carriage and four now brought the bride to the church gate, her father accompanying her; and leaning on his arm, she passed along the covered path and into the church, smiling in recognition of the friends on each hand. Immediately afterwards, the service was begun by the Rev. F. C. Hope Grant, who was assisted by the Rev. Newton B. Young, Rector of Tilbrook, the adjoining parish. There were no musical accompaniments beyond the playing of the organ as the procession entered and the jubilant strains of Mendelssohn’s ‘Wedding March’ when bride and bridegroom left the altar together. The register had been first signed in the vestry, and witnessed by the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and other friends.
From the church all now made their way back to the castle, where the wedding breakfast was served to nearly a hundred guests in the same marquee which had served as a ball-room the night before. In few words, the toast of the ‘bride and bridegroom’ was proposed by the Earl of Sandwich; in fewer, it was acknowledged by the Duke of Hamilton. Then the cake was cut and distributed, shortly after which customary part of the festivity the newly-married pair took their departure from the castle, escorted by a detachment of the Duke of Manchester’s regiment of cavalry. The bride wore a travelling dress of dark green velvet, with a jacket of the same color, trimmed with silver fox fur. Loud cheers were given, and white slippers were thrown when the open carriage and four dashed off from the castle, and a cordial was given the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton
A list of the wedding presents has already appeared in our columns; but it may be mentioned in addition that the bride’s trousseau, furnished by Madame Elise, was as tasteful as it was costly. The bridal dress itself was a marvel of elegance, being composed of the richest faille and draperies of finest mouseline des Indes, bordered with violants of magnificent pointe de gaze and bouquets of orange flowers. A couroone of orange flowers, and a lovely veil of picturesque design, and a costly fabric, completed the ensemble.
THE PRINCESS OF MONACO’S DIVORCE
History of An Unhappy Marriage
And Its Difficult Dissolution
(Galignani’s Messenger, Jan. 7.)
Daily Evening Mercury
February 12, 1880
The marriage of Prince Albert of Monaco with Lady Mary Hamilton having, as announced by telegram, been at last definitely annulled by the special Congregation of Cardinals, a brief summary of this cause célèbre may prove of interest to our readers. Rather more than ten years ago, on the 21st of Septmeber, 1869, Prince Albert Honoré Charles, Duc de Valentinois, son of Charles III of Monaco, who had not then attained his twenty-first year, espoused Lady Mary Victoria, daughter of William Alexander, Duke of Hamilton, Brandon and Châtellerault, and of the Princess Marie, daughter of the late Grand Duke of Baden. The marriage in the opinion of many – though there seems no great ground for the assertion – was the work of Napoleon III, the bride having been his ward; but, be this as it may, at the time of its conclusion nothing afforded reason to suppose that the youthful Princess entered into the contract unwillingly, and at first the young couple lived gaily and contentedly in the principal cities of France. In January 1870, however, the Princess of Monaco suddenly announced her intention of separating from her husband, and no persuasion could induce her to reconsider her decision. On the 12th of July 1870, she gave birth to a son, Prince Louis-Honoré -Charles-Antoine, whom she kept with her, and an attempt made by her husband a few years latter to carry off the boy gave rise to the legal strife which has just come to a close. In 1878, the Princess of Monaco commenced a suit before the Congregation of the Pontifical Council for the annulment of her marriage, basing the demand on the allegation, among others, that her mother had exercised pressure in order to induce her to consent to becoming the wife of the Prince of Monaco, which otherwise, she would not have done of her own free will. As, however, a child had been born of the union, the question at issue had become a grave one, and the Pope, instead of leaving the case to follow the usual course, appointed a special committee, consisting of Cardinal Caterini as President, and Cardinals Monaco, La Valetta, Ferrieri, Bartolini, and Sharretti as ordinary members. Every effort was employed by t he plaintiff and her counsel to obtain a favorable decision, while on the contrary, the Prince, who seemed firmly convinced that the marriage would never be dissolved, took hardly any steps to frustrate his wife’s energetic action. At the beginning of May, 1879, the commission met, and, having taken cognizance of the documents presented to them, stated that the plaintiff’s demand was invariably received and the marriage declared null and void. This award caused great astonishment, and gave rise to may comments, the Pope finally refusing to confirm it, on the ground that the defendant’s case had not been brought forward with sufficient care. Following the usual rule on these occasions, His Holiness appointed a new commission to retry the whole affair, on which sat Cardinals De Pietro (President,) Simeeni, Ledochowski, Mertel and Chigi, though the last named dignitary having been Nuncio at Paris at the time of the marriage, and having, consequently, been mixed up in the matter, declined to act, and was replaced by Cardinal Rendi. During the second hearing the Prince was far more active than on the former occasion, and his views were therefore more fully laid before the new commission, who, after conducting all their proceedings in the strictest secrecy, reassembled on Saturday morning and delivered their sentence. They annul the marriage, resolve the question of the child’s legitimacy in the affirmative, while unreservedly recognizing the Prince’s paternal rights, and provide for the boy’s education in conformity with his father’s wishes. The first question has, therefore, been decided in favor of the Princess, while her opponent in the suit has gained the day on the other two points.
A SAD STORY
Queens County Sentinel
December 20, 1888
The Dowager Duchess of Hamilton, who died at Baden-Baden, was left a widow about thirty years ago in consequence of her husband having fallen down stairs after at a supper at the Maison d’Or and broken his neck. The real reason why he and his wife resided so much on the continent was the Queen’s refusal to allow her precedence at the drawing rooms of the Duchess of Norfolk; as a member of a sovereign Germany family, from a German point of view she was just as ‘high and mighty’ as no matter what, Mecklenburg, Hesse or Saxe-Coburg.
There was no valid excuse for the refusal, which seems inexplicable, when it is remembered how the morganatic son of a younger Hessian princelet is being foisted as high royalty on the British people. Her Majesty could not have believed the story current at Manheim about the Princess Marie of Baden, Duchess of Hamilton, being a supposititious child, and substituted for a prince with a malformed head, denoting the idiocy from time to time appeared in the Grand Ducal (or before Napoleon’s time) Margravine family. If there had been substitution a boy would have been slipped into the place of the alleged idiot. The Manheimers near whose city the Grand Duchess Stephanie used to reside, had some plausible explanation to give for the substitution of a girl – or, at any rate, one the satisfied them.
The ‘true heir’ was never a complainant. He was, the story went, found one day, full grown, helpless, undressed, hairy as an Orson and unable to quit a crouching posture – near the Grand Ducal Park
Speech was coming to him as he was assassinated. This murder caused a stir along the Rhine . Caspar Hauser had a striking resemblance to past Margraves of Baden. This, perhaps, was the reason why the tale of substitution was told and believed. However, the late Duchess of Hamilton’s early married life was poisoned by the Queen’s refusal to treat her as a Princess of Baden. The terrible misfortune of the rest of her life was a terror of internal cancer. She fancied herself liable to this disease and believed she was preserved from its ravages by an American doctor, who, through her patronage, won a great practice.
