Princess Mathilde Laetitia Wilhelmine Bonaparte: On 27th May 1820 she was born. Adeline Horsey Recollections. In the autumn of 1844 we went to Bretby [Map], the seat of the Earl of Chesterfield, where we spent a most enjoyable time. There was a large house-party, among many others the James Graham 4th Duke Montrose and Duchess of Montrose, Mr. and Lady Sophia des Voeux, Lord Alvanley, and the Count de Nieukerke, who was the recognised lover of Princess Mathilde Bonaparte. M. de Nieukerke was a very charming man, and he was much struck by my singing, and used to compare me with George Sand's heroine - Consuelo - for I was a very pretty girl with a slight, but fine figure, and long hair that fell in curls below my knees. On 2nd January 1904 she died.
