Princess Marie Louise

Is it true that E.V. Lucas had a romantic relationship with Princess Marie-Louise? He is mentioned in her memoirs and the article on Princess Marie-Louise says that she had a realtionship with an unnamed person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.36.125.143 (talk) 21:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible as he was a womanizer and cheated on his wife, Elizabeth, starting when their daughter, Audrey, was still a child. Audrey remembered her parents fighting on tour in Italy. Hellowiki595 (talk) 18:02, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of works

This is an exceptionally long list, that is asking to be sub-divided into fiction and non-fiction. Valetude (talk) 13:11, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pornography?

Was he notable for this? It seems an odd subject to mention. Valetude (talk) 13:13, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It was recited in a History of Punch by Price. Hellowiki595 (talk) 18:03, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Original research?

It's suggested that Lucas's wife was a translator, and two books crediting a Mrs E. V. Lucas in that role are cited in evidence, but no secondary sources are. This looks like original research. Can anyone provide a proper ref? --Antiquary (talk) 12:41, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've now removed this claim, but of course anyone feel free to restore it if they have secondary or tertiary sources. --Antiquary (talk) 15:42, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
