Mary Anne Clarke

 * Reason:Mary Anne Clarke was mistress to Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany, who was second son to George III of the United Kingdom. She liked the good life and the expense of pleasing her was a bit pricey even for the son of a king, which led to sales of army commissions and other corruption that caused a scandal in 1809 and resulted in his resignation from his position as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army.  Tsk, tsk.  They didn't have supermarket tabloids yet, but this captures a similar spirit.  Restored version of File:Mary Anne Clarke.jpg.
