Talk:Olivia Serres

Anonymous comments originally in article: Try the 1939 publication Princess or Pretender for one of the few objective accounts and most complete research of this subject

There is no evidence suggesting that Olive Wilmots father was an embezzler.

The article posted here is written as if the author knew these statements to be factual when ,in fact, great controversy surrounds this story. The 1939 publication Princess or Pretender concludes that Olive may have been the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Cumberland but it was atleast likely that she was his daughter. With respect to the previously posted information one has to question the motivation of someone writing with such conviction when they could not possibly have known the truth about this story.An honest person would only outline the controversy.

For a counter-view, read Sporting the Oak, The Life & Times of Thomas Downes Wilmot Dearn, by Paul Donovan (ISBN 0-9542524-2-X). This presents compelling evidence that Olive Wilmot was the legitimate daughter of Henry Duke of Cumberland & Anne Horton (nee Luttrell).
