The Spartacus Educational website
[visit link] tells us abou Lillie
(Lily):
"Lily Breton was born in Jersey in
1853. The daughter of the dean of the island, she married Edward Langtry in
1874. She did not make her first stage appearance until 1881 but soon obtained
the reputation as one of Britain's most beautiful actresses. Nicknamed the
Jersey Lily, Langtry became the mistress of the Prince of Wales, the future
Edward VII. Lily's husband, Edward Langtry died in 1897, and two years later she
married the extremely wealthy Hugo de Bathe. Her autobiography, The Days I Knew,
was published in 1925. Lily Langtry died in
1929."
