"Mallet, Marie? (1862? 1934) British courtier and diarist Marie Adeane was born at Babraham, near Cambrdige, the daughter of Henry Adeane (died 1870), a Member of Parliament, and his wife Lady Elizabeth Yorke, the daughter of the fourth Earl of Hardwicke. Her godmother was the Duchess of Grafton. At her father?s death, her mother remarried to Lord Michael Biddulph. Like her mother before her, Marie served at court (1887? 1901) as lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. She became the wife (1891) of Sir Bernard Mallet (died 1932), a royal official, and left memoirs of her life at court until the queen?s death (1901). This and her personal correspondence was edited and published by her son, Sir Victor Mallet, a godson of Queen Victoria as, Life with Queen Victoria: Marie Mallet?s Letters from Court 1887? 1901 (1968). During the latter part of her life Lady Mallet served as a Poor Law Guardian for Chelsea in London, as well as being active in various philanthropic organizations. She supported the Amateur Art Exhibition in London, and retained her links with members of the royal family, most notably Queen Mary. Marie Mallet died (March 5, 1934)."--Abitofhistory.net.
