Lillie Langtry –<br />
The Prince’s Mistress<br />
Born in <strong>October</strong> 1853, Emilie<br />
Charlotte Le Breton was destined to<br />
lead a life that others either dreamt<br />
of, or disapproved of. Inspired by the<br />
professional beauties of the time, she<br />
had her future planned at an early<br />
age. Married at 20 to Edward<br />
Langtry, a seemingly wealthy Irish<br />
playboy, she escaped her island home<br />
and finally arrived in Belgravia in<br />
London in 1876. From the moment<br />
she was absorbed into London<br />
Society her rise to fame was<br />
meteoric: a friend of Oscar Wilde,<br />
socialite, actress, racehorse owner<br />
and successful business woman, this<br />
is the story of a ground-breaking<br />
woman far ahead of her time.<br />
