  Emily Lennox
Lady Emily Lennox (1731-1814) was the second of the famous Lennox sisters, daughters of Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond[?] and illegitimately descended from King Charles II of England.
It was partly the duke's influence that led to a rift between Emily and her eldest sister, Caroline.
After his death in 1773, Emily caused a minor sensation by marrying her children's tutor, William Ogilvie, with whom she had begun an affair some years earlier.

 ExxonMobil Masterpiece Theatre | Aristocrats | An Interview with Stella Tillyard
The sisters: Caroline, Emily, Louisa, and Sarah Lennox -- great-granddaughters of a king, daughters of a cabinet minister, and wives of politicians and peers.
I had a friend who was researching the experience of being ill in the eighteenth century, and she was telling me about some of the published letters from Caroline to Emily, which talked about all the horrible cures used to treat Caroline's son Stephen Fox.
And then they filmed the ball scene in the ballroom of Carton House, so you have the actress who plays Emily dancing up and down, and behind her is the painting of Emily which was done by Allan Ramsay in the 1760s.

Throughout the later stages of her pregnancy, his mother, Emily, was consumed with anxiety for her third son, Lord Charles Fitzgerald, a lively, chatty little boy of seven.

 Divorce
Her sister Lady Emily Lennox 1731-1814 was no better than her sister, for whilst still married to James Duke of Leinster 1722-1773 she had a child by William Ogilvie 1740-1832 who she later married.
A good example of this is the story that when pressed by a suitor for one of her daughters over the close kinship in the family she was pleased to inform him that there was no Gordon blood in that daughter.
The Lennox and Gordons were not alone in the Eighteenth Century Aristocracy for their behaviour, the Spencers and the Cavendishes were just as idiosyncratic.

It was not only the largest private home in the city but Richard Castle's first structure in Ireland (Castle-or Casells, to use his original German spelling -- was a follower of the 16th-century Venetian architect Palladio and designed some of the country's most important 18th-century country houses).
Inside, the grand salons were ornamented with coffered ceilings, Rembrandts, and Van Dycks -- fitting settings for the parties often given by the duke's wife (and celebrated beauty), Lady Emily Lennox.
The building has two facades: the one facing Merrion Square is designed in the style of a country house; the other, on Kildare Street, resembles that of a town house.
