Royal Mistresses- Louise de Kérouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth

Louise got her start as a daughter of the Seigneur de Kérouaille, an old noble family from Brittany. As the daughter of a nobleman, Louise was able to acquire a place at the court of King Louis XIV of France. When she was still quite young Louise joined the household of Princess Henrietta Anne of England, the younger sister of King Charles II and wife of the Duke of Orleans. It was hoped by her family that she would become a mistress of King Louis, but in 1670 when Louise accompanied Princess Henrietta to England she met and charmed the Princess’ brother King Charles II. When Henrietta died suddenly soon after, Louise was invited to England as a lady-in-waiting to Charles’ wife Queen Catherine.

Upon becoming the Mistress of King Charles, Louise replaced the volatile Barbara Villiers in the King’s affections. Louise was beautiful and plump, with a childlike face that prompted John Evelyn to call her “baby face.”Because of her rounder figure Charles gave her the nickname “Fubbs” (a slang term for ‘chubby’) and named a ship the HMS Fubbs in her honor. Though she was doll-like in appearance and had a sensitive nature Louise was also very clever and knew how to get what she wanted. She met with French envoys and ambassadors and was supported by King Louis in return for her support of French interests. Louise was generally disliked by the English people due to the fact that she was not only French, but Catholic as well. She was, however, well received by the Queen and the two ladies treated each other with respect and friendliness.

After the death of King Charles II, Louise fell from favor at court quickly. She returned to France with a pension granted by Louis XIV and returned to England only twice during the remainder of her life and attended the coronation of King George I. Louise died in 1734 at the old age of 85. Through her son by the King, Charles Duke of Richmond, she is a direct ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; and Sarah, Duchess of York.

Remember when Samuel Pepys was courting a girl at his dancing classes and his wife found out and was very upset about it and wouldn’t speak to him so Pepys ended up asking the Earl of Rochester for advice, which was ‘idk maybe you shouldn’t court 16 year old girls at dancing classes if you want to stay good with your wife’ to which Pepys replied ’….anyway. any real suggestions?’

Petition to start an Anne Hyde Support Group because her dad and stepmum were piiiiiiissed, her dad wanted her dead, James fumbled her truly and she birthed the family saga of the century.

My girl deserves better FR.
