Anne Murray, Duchess of Atholl
Anne Murray, Duchess of Atholl( 17 June 1814 – 22 May 1897), born Anne Home- Drummond and known as The Lady Glenlyon between 1839 and 1846, as The Duchess of Atholl between 1846 and 1864 and as The Dowager Duchess of Atholl between 1864 and 1897, was a Scottish courtier and close friend of Queen Victoria.
Murray was born at Edinburgh, Scotland, the daughter of Henry Home- Drummond, of Blair Drummond, by Christian, daughter of Charles Moray.
On 29 October 1839 she married George Murray, 2nd Baron Glenlyon, at Blair Drummond, thereby becoming Lady Glenlyon.
In 1846 he succeeded his uncle as sixth Duke of Atholl, and Anne became Duchess of Atholl.
She served as Mistress of the Robes to Queen Victoria in Lord Derby's short- lived government of 1852.
She subsequently served the queen as a Lady of the Bedchamber for almost forty years and was one of Victoria's closest friends.
When The Prince Consort died, the Queen came out of the room where he had died and proclaimed," Oh, Duchess, he is dead!"
The Duke of Atholl died in 1864, and Anne became the Dowager Duchess of Atholl.
In 1892, when Gladstone again came to power, his policy of Home Rule for Ireland had alienated many of the upper classes, and no lady of ducal rank could be found who was willing to serve as Mistress of the Robes.
The post therefore remained vacant, while the Dowager Duchess of Atholl and the Duchess of Roxburghe performed the duties of the office.
The duchess and her husband preferred the spelling" Athole" for their title and residence.
The Duke and Duchess had one child, John Stewart- Murray, 7th Duke of Atholl.
The Duchess of Atholl died at Dunkeld, Perthshire, in May 1897, aged 82, and was buried at Blair Atholl.

John Conroy
Sir John Ponsonby Conroy, 1st Baronet, KCH( 21 October 1786 – 2 March 1854) was a British army officer who served as comptroller to the Duchess of Kent and her young daughter, Princess Victoria, the future Queen of the United Kingdom.
Conroy was born in Wales to Anglo- Irish parents.
In 1817, after holding several ranks in the army, he became the equerry of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn.
Edward died two years later, leaving a widow and infant daughter.
Holding the position of comptroller of the Duchess of Kent's household for the next nineteen years, Conroy also acted as her confidant and political agent, among other roles.
Together, they designed the Kensington System, an elaborate and strict system of rules for the upbringing of young Victoria, designed to render her weak- willed and utterly dependent upon them in the hope of allowing them one day to wield power through her.
Princess Victoria grew to hate Conroy, thanks to the oppressive system, and he was also unpopular among the rest of the British royal family.
His efforts to place the Duchess in the role of regent were ultimately unsuccessful, as Victoria ascended the throne after reaching her majority in 1837.
Conroy was immediately expelled from Victoria's household, though he remained in the Duchess of Kent's service for several more years.
Given a pension and a baronetcy, Conroy retired to his estate near Reading, Berkshire, in 1842 and died heavily in debt twelve years later.
Historians have often referred to Conroy as someone with strong ambition, with varying degrees of positive or negative opinion.
Rumours circulated during and after his lifetime that he was perhaps the Duchess of Kent's lover.
Queen Victoria was shocked to hear this, stating that her mother's piety would have prevented it.
