Tales of the titled figures across European royalty and nobility
The Purdee Creile of Mecklenburg Schwerin is raised like a German housewife and is said to be a first class cook. The little prince of Piedmont is nursed by his mother Queen Helene. King Leopold appoints Henry Gabriels bishop of Ogdensburg for his writings and aid to Belgian emigrants. Lord Charles Beresford’s Channel fleet fame extends to politics and a quip about hanging slave traders. Consuelo Vanderbilt, once duchess of Marlborough, now enjoys singing plantation ballads and coon songs, inspiring nobility to adopt them, with the duchess of Westminster joining in.
