Scandal and Aristocracy: Unlucky in Love
Chronicle of the Times Episode 52 | 1812 & 1895
Our first story from 1812 involves the beautiful and exceedingly rich Wiltshire Heiress, Catherine Tylney-Long, who was chased by everyone, including the future King George IV. Instead, she chooses a handsome charming man who, she very quickly realises, is nothing but a gambling drunk with a cruel streak in him.
Our second story from 1895, and updates in 1911, is the long exceptionally lurid divorce between Lord and Lady Russell which was spread across all the papers for the morning coffee enjoyment of all.
Private detectives, threatening missives, accusations of felony and libel are all in the mix with several of the private correspondence between the two copied into the papers for the amusement of the public.
The matrimonial dispute only finalised upon Lord Russell contriving a bigamy charge with a large payout.
The follow-ups after their tumultuous relationship continues with high drama.
Two tales of scandal is today’s episode of Snapshots of the Past.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Hosted by Robin Coles.
