While many people know all about the senior members of the British Royal Family today, very few people know one past royal that was known for being a shameful figure.
Although no longer alive, Princess Louise, the sixth child and fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, was the center of many rumours during her time, some of which still occur today.
Born in 1848, Louise was always renown for her defiant streak, especially when it came to her relationship with her mother the late Queen Victoria.
While Victoria, who had the nickname of ‘Grandmother of Europe’, demanded Louise to marry European heirs and dignitaries, this was not what happened – leading to probably one of the greatest royal scandals.
As reported by MyLondon, Louise combated her mother’s wishes and instead married a high-level member of British society John, Marquess of Lorne, who later became the Duke of Argyll.
