the Napier line

Lady Sarah Lennox by Sir Joshua Reynolds

Lady Sarah Lennox was a favorite of King George III of Great Britain. I learned this while watching an interview with India Amarteifio and Corey Mylchreest who play Charlotte and George in the Shonda Rhimes and Netflix series "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story." Lady Sarah married Charles Bunbury and later George Napier. She and Napier had eight children. One wonders if Evelyn Napier, a friend of Lady Mary in "Downton Abbey," was perhaps a grandson or great-grandson of Lady Sarah.
