The Victorian dinner service was made for the Coke family by Spode and the gilt chairs are part of a set made by Saunders of Soho in the early part of the 18th century. The coronation state banquet held at Buckingham Palace on the evening of the 4th June 1953 saw the 5th Earl and Countess sit down to dinner in the ballroom with nearly 300 other guests. Extract from Instruction for Royal Household State Banquet Room Plan The 5th Earl sat at table R, whilst the Countess sat at table E. The Countess of Leicester was Lady of the Bedchamber, the second most senior female position in the Queen’s household after the Mistress of the Robes. This instruction booklet shows that she was on duty at Buckingham Palace before the banquet, receiving non-royal guests in the Green Drawing Room. The state banquet menu may have appeared extravagant for the time as meat rationing did not end until 1954.

Summons to the Coronation This press cutting shows the 5th Earl and Countess in their coronation robes, although for the actual coronation ceremony the Countess wore a dress by Norman Hartnell. Coronation Robes for Peers In the last 300 years Peers’ coronation robes have only been used twelve times. They are made of crimson silk velvet, trimmed with white ermine and rows of black sealskin spots. The rows extend around the full width of the cape, with half rows reaching from the right front edge to the centre back. These spots subtly reveal a Peer’s rank: a Duke has four rows; a Marquess has three and a half rows; an Earl has three rows; a Viscount has two and a half rows and a Baron has two rows. Coronation Robes for Peeresses Instead of a loose cape as worn by Peers, a Peeress’s robe is close fitting, open down the front, with short fitted sleeves edged with miniver fur. A small cape is worn across the shoulders whilst the train is edged with finest ermine. In addition to rows of sealskin spots on the cape, the Peeress’s two other symbols of rank are designed into the dress: the width of the ermine edging and length of train. This cartoon, which was cut from the Daily Express by the 5th Earl, shows two of Osbert Lancaster’s best known characters, Maudie and William Littlehampton, on their way to the coronation and in a bit of a pickle. The caption refers to the Four Hundred Club, one of the favourite haunts of Princess Margaret and her friends, of whom Lady Anne Coke was perhaps one of the closest. The club, housed in The 5th Earl of Leicester had been an equerry to the cellar of a building in Leicester the Queen’s father, George VI, and had walked in Square, was described as “the night the procession at the King’s coronation in 1937. time headquarters of society”.

  • My Lady Castlemaine
    3XCY LjlDY CASTLEMJIINE <J c& Lady Castlemaine Being a Life of {Barbara 'Uilliers Countess of Castlemaine, afterwards Duchess of Cleveland :: By Philip W Sergeant, B.jl., Author of "The Empress Josephine, Napoleon's Enchantress," "'She Courtships of Catherine the Great," &c. With 19 Illustrations including a Photogravure Frontispiece DANA ESTES & CO. BOSTON Printed in Great Britain 5134844 PREFACE TT may perhaps be maintained that, if Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine and Duchess of Cleveland, has not been written about in many books, it is for a good and sufficient reason, that she is not worth writing about. That is not an argument to be lightly decided. But certainly less interesting women have been the subjects of numerous books, worse women, less influential and less beautiful than this lady of the dark auburn hair and deep blue eyes. We know that Mr. G. K. Chesterton says that Charles II attracts him morally. (His words are " attracts us," but this must be the semi-editorial " we.") If King Charles can attract morally Mr. Chesterton, may not his favourite attract others ? Or let us be repelled, and as we view the lady acting " her part at Whitehall let us exclaim, How differ- ent from the Court of ... good King William III," if we like. Undoubtedly the career of Barbara Villiers furnishes a picture of one side at least of life in the Caroline of the life of unfalter- period ; pleasure unrestrained, ing unless through lack of cash and unrepentant. For Barbara did not die, like her great rival Louise de " Keroualle (according to Saint-Simon), very old, V 2082433 vi PREFACE " and like very penitent, very poor ; or, another rival, Hortense Mancini (according to Saint-Evre- " mond), seriously, with Christian indifference toward life." On the principle bumani nil a me alienum puto even the Duchess of Cleveland cannot be con- sidered of attention as unworthy ; but, being more extreme in type, therefore more interesting than the competing beauties of her day.

Early 1850 bodices had a Basque opening over a che- misette, the bodice continued to be very close fitting, the waist sharp and the shoulder less slanted, during the 1850s to 1866. During the 1850s the dresses were cut without a waist seam and during the 1860s the round waist was raised to some extent. The decade of the 1870s is one of the most intricate era of women’s fashion. The style of the early 1870s relied on the renewal of the polonaise, strained on the back, gath- ered and puffed up into an detailed arrangement at the rear, above a sustaining bustle, to somewhat broaden at the wrist.

    1 The Household of Queen Mary II 1689-1694 N.B.: Following the convention established in Sainty and Bucholz and in the main database, the household service of Mary’s officers and servants is said to have ended with her death on 28 December 1694. But the Crown continued to pay them for the rest of their lives, adding them to Mary’s pensions list. The resulting list, drawn up at Lady Day 1695, became the root of the monarch’s personal pensions list. References to this list, e.g., “sl LD 1695: CTB X, 1074-78” are intended to show that the servant in question was still in service at the end of the Queen’s life.
