EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Anne Clarke, Mistress of Frederick, Duke of York (Anonymous, 1852, Mary Evans Picture Library) This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Mary Anne Clarke, a woman who once held significant influence over one of the most powerful men of the Regency era. Mary Anne Clarke, born in 1776, rose from humble beginnings to become the Duke of York's mistress, a position she held from 1809 until 1812. In this striking image, Mary Anne Clarke is depicted in profile, her expressive face framed by a cascade of red curls. Her dress, adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, speaks to her elevated status. The Duke of York, who ruled as Regent from 1811 to 1820 during the madness of King George III, was known for his love of fine clothing and extravagant living. It is likely that Mary Anne Clarke's attire reflects the opulence of the Regency court. Despite her privileged position, Mary Anne Clarke's time with the Duke was fraught with scandal. She was accused of selling military commissions and other favors to officers in the Duke's army, leading to a public inquiry in 1812. The scandal, known as the "Mary Anne Clarke Affair," damaged the Duke's reputation and ultimately led to his resignation as Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Despite the controversy, Mary Anne Clarke's image remains a fascinating glimpse into the Regency era and the complex relationships that shaped it. Her smile, captured in this portrait, hints at a woman who was both confident and cunning, a woman who wielded power and influence in a time when such opportunities were limited for women. The mystery surrounding her story continues to captivate historians and enthusiasts of Regency history.
