The result was all that could have been expected. Mrs. Langtry became the Prince's first openly recognised mistress."[14]

Notes and Questions

[edit | edit source]
  1. Henry Young was the son of Florance Thomas Young, a brewer in London at the end of the 18th century. On 13 February 1809 Henry was bound as a clerk to attorney John Sudlow in London for 5 years.[23] Henry was "admitted into the Freedom of this City" on 9 July 1832 based on his father's admission on 19 August 1779.[24] Perhaps Florance Thomas Young had money, but certainly by 1851 Henry Young had enough money for 10 servants.
