About this person

After her marriage to the Earl of Cardigan in 1858, Queen Victoria refused to have her at court because Cardigan had left his first wife. She was the claimed author of scandalous memoirs, My Recollections, published in 1909, under the name Adeline Louisa Maria de Horsey Cardigan and Lancastre, though strictly speaking she was not allowed by the rules governing the British peerage to join her former and current titles together. Her book detailed events and people coupled with gossip concerning the establishment of Victorian England.
