Sarah Fraser

Sarah Fraser, also called Mother Fraser (died 1880) was an Australian brothel keeper.

[1] She was the daughter of a British convict.

She established a brothel in the Little Lon red light district in Melbourne in the mid 19th-century.

In 1867, when Queen Victoria’s son Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha visited Australia, police official Frederick Standish escorted the prince to the brothel of Fraser, where he bought sex from his mistress, Sarah Saqui.

[1] This attracted great attention, and according to urban myth Fraser claimed her brothel had royal protection and had the royal banner raised above it.
