Interesting. Where did you get this information, I have a couple books on Mary but am always eager to find out even more about her.
 I read in one book that near the end of Mary's life there is an anedocte about Berwick and his wife visiting her and joking with her about redecorating her apartments.  ;D


I would have had a sense of humour failure if he came round and laughed at my shabby apartments! ;D

I got the information from the following books:

“The Last Stuarts: British Royalty in Exile” by James Lees-Milne
“King in Exile: James II: Warrior, King, and Saint” by John Callow
“A Court in Exile: The Stuarts in France 1689-1718” by Edward T. Corp
“The Stuart Court in Exile and the Jacobites” edited by Eveline Cruickshanks
