Anne Douglas, Countess of Morton

The Earl and Countess of Morton had at least three children who lived to adulthood:[3] Lady Dalkeith, as she was styled at the time, was a godmother of Princess Henrietta.

She refused to take the child to St James's Palace, endeavouring instead to convey her to France to be united with her mother, Queen Henrietta Maria.

[4] Apparently, during the journey, the princess nearly revealed their identity by innocently informing the townspeople that she was not accustomed to dressing in such a shabby fashion.

Lady Morton lived in France as the princess's governess until 1651, when her husband, the Earl, died.

[7] Eventually they quarrelled, in slightly obscure circumstances, when she accused him of interfering with her marriage plans for her daughter Anne, and she broke off friendly relations, much to Clarendon's distress.
