She wasnt wife of Edward VII, she was his Mistress

Oscar Wilde was a well known gay and he was a very close friend of Lillie and he admired her a lot.

About Lillie s child, this was discused in the topic of Victoria of Hesse, She had a daughter of Louis named Jeanne MArie Malcolm.  Lord Mountbatten always said that his father was Jeannie`s father.

I have seen that bio pic and it was a good one.

However, please try to get the facts straight.  Lilly was never married to Edward VII.  His only wife was Alexandra of Denmark.  Edward had many many mistresses and Lilly was one of them.

If you just read around the forum or do a search, you will find a lot of information on Edward VII, Lilly Langtree and Louis Mountbatton (Louis of Battenberg).  Louis was married to Victoria of Hesse who was Alix of Hesse's sister (Alexandra of Russia). 

And as was already pointed out, Louis always admitted to being the baby's father and never pretended that he wasn't.  This affaire took place before Victoria and Louis were married.

Louis was a good friend of the Prince of Wales the future Edward VII.  They ran in the same circles.

Lilly was Louis's mistress after the Prince of Wales dropped her.  She became too much of a "cling on" and Edward would not have that.

Victoria did know about Jeanne and I believe she knew about the money as well.

A good source and an easy read on this is The Royal Mob by Theresa Sherman.

I am not an expert on Louis and Lillie.

I do know that Louis was 12 years older than Victoria and so had a life before he met her.  He wanted to marry Victoria.

I think (and I could be wrong) that Lillie stayed married to Mr. Langtree all during her affaires.  I know that most of the men she had affairs with preferred it that way.  It is possible that she was still married and did not want to divorce Mr. Langtree.

I don't think she wanted to marry Louis.  Lillie, as you know from the movie, was a very strong and manipulative woman.  She got what she wanted and if she had wanted Louis, I think she would have married him.

yeah i think you have right...

i think Louis fell in love with victoria, when she and ella has their "coming-out"ball. i heard she and louis danced much on this evening. i think she was on the time, where the ball was, already in love with him.(but i could be wrong)
