The Saturday Play: The Warwickshire Scandal

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Alison Sutcliffe.

The marriage in 1866 of Harriett Moncrieffe to Sir Charles Mordaunt of Walton Hall, Warwickshire, was beset with problems from the start. Her involvement with the Prince of Wales and members of his set, as well as the dubious parentage of her child, led to one of the most notorious divorce cases of the 19th century.
