    Wow! Very pretty! Maybe Ian Fleming wasn't diverging too much from the reality of it all...

    An excellent rundown of the whole (and completely amazing) story can be found here : entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainmen...

    This is a priceless photograph - bonus points for being an adorable snapshot.

    He was the 11th Marquess of Queensbury (1896–1954). John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry was the one who caused Oscar Wilde's terrible downfall. It is a terrible shame that the name Queensberry is forever connected with homophobia. I adore the spats (probably incorrect nomenclature for it).

    Francis Archibald Kelhead Douglas was born 17 Jan 1896, son of Percy Sholto Douglas (10th Marquess of Queensberry) and Anna Maria (nee Walters). He had an older sister, Lady Dorothy, b. 1894, and a younger brother, Lord Cecil, b. 1898. His mother died 25 Apr 1917. He was Commissioned into the Black Watch in January 1915 at the age of 19, and was married to his first wife, (of three, by whom he had a total of 4 children), Irene Clarice Richards, in December 1917. It was his grandfather, John Sholto Douglas, (who died when Francis was aged 4), who was arrested when he was so unwisely sued for criminal libel by Oscar Wilde in 1895, over the 41-year-old Wilde's relationship with John's 25-year-old son Alfred, (Percy's brother, and uncle of Francis), who in 1902 married Olive Eleanor Custance. John Sholto Douglas as 9th Marquess is recalled as the man who formally endorsed the rules codified by J G Chambers for the sport of amateur boxing. These quickly became adopted across the United Kingdom as the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, and synonymous with fair play in sport.//
