Introduction, Part 1 to the Life & Works of
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent
Leaving Halifax in 1800 Prince Edward was to wait for further orders from the King. In 1802, he received his appointment as the Governor of Gibraltar. Julie went along and lived there with him. After a short stay Prince Edward came back to England after being abroad for many years; Julie continued to be with him, when in 1816 they moved to Brussels to live out their lives together. Then, the sad part of the story. The British government called Prince Edward home, away from Julie, so that he could marry a German Princess. After a very tearful departure -- they had an exclusive relationship for twenty-seven years -- Julie went off, some believe, to a convent in France to live out the rest of her days. Edward did marry the German Princess; and, in 1819, Victoria, the longest reigning English monarch in history was born to Edward and his German Princess.
