ReplyDeleteHowever he did have an extramarital daughter named THECLA who was born in 1833 by the Swedish actress Emilie Högquist (29 April 1812 -
18 December 1846) She was the mistress of Oscar I of Sweden. She was a star of the Royal Dramatic Theatre, the most celebrated dramatic Swedish primadonna of her time, called the Swedish Aspasia, and also famous for her love affairs. She has been called the first female celebrity within Swedish drama. She was the daughter of Anders Högquist, butler of count Carl De Geer, and Anna Beata Hedvall. After having a daughter with British diplomat John Bloomfield, 2nd Baron Bloomfield, Högquist made the acquaintance of Crown Prince Oscar. He rented
a luxury apartment for her and eventually set up his second family there, close to the Stockholm Palace where his wife and legitimate children lived. Allegedly Oscar spent every other night at the palace and every other night with Emilie. By Oscar, she had two sons, Hjalmar and Max. Max was named for Maximilian de Beauharnais, Oscar's brother-in-law. The two boys were unofficially referred to as "the Princes of Lapland". Max grew up to become a merchant in China, where he died in 1872. Hjalmar died in 1874 in London.
She also had a son by John, Albert Bloomfield and she died in Italy in her 30's. Not much information about Albert once she was with Oscar
