It’s the English 18th century when Maria Walpole, from illegitimate daughter, became Duchess of Gloucester and Edinburgh. Shall we find out her story?
By the 1730s, Walpole lived openly with his mistress Maria Skerrett, with whom he had already had a daughter. In March 1738, Walpole married her. But Maria died just a few months later in childbirth. Before leaving office, Walpole arranged to have his illegitimate daughter legitimised, and she became ‘Lady Maria Walpole’.
Maria was one of the three the illegitimate daughters of Hon. Edward Walpole of Frogmore House in Windsor, by Dorothy Clements, a charming and beautiful milliner from Darlington in Co. Durham. This lady bore him five children but, although a faithful lover, he never married her because he feared the opposition of his father, Sir Robert.
