Mildred Acheson, Countess of Gosford (born Caroline Mildred Carter) (March 2, 1888 – September 7, 1965) was an American heiress who married into the British aristocracy.

Mildred was born on March 2, 1888 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Millie, as she was also known, was the only daughter of diplomat John Ridgeley Carter and Alice Carter. Her younger brother was banker Bernard Shirley Carter, a prominent banker with Morgan, Harjes & Co. who married Louise Hope Thacher.

Her paternal grandparents were Mary Buckner Carter and Bernard Carter, a member of the prominent Carter and Lee families of Virginia and was a descendant of Henry Lee III, the 9th Governor of Virginia. Her maternal grandparents were David Pierce Morgan and Carolyn Morgan. Her maternal uncle was William Fellowes Morgan Sr. and among her first cousins was William Fellowes Morgan Jr.

Her father was a diplomat of the United States, serving as the First Secretary to the American Embassy in London.Later, he served as the U.S. Minister at Bucharest from November 14, 1909 until October 24, 1911. He also concurrently served as the U.S. Minister to Serbia and Bulgaria.

In May 1908, noted American portrait painter John Singer Sargent painted a portrait of Mildred in London that was described at the time by The New York Times as "in the painter's best manner and brings out all of the innate sweetness of nature which has endeared Miss Carter to her English as much as to her American friends, all of whom agree that she has the wonderful tact and urbanity of her father." She was presented at the Court of St James's in 1909.

On June 21, 1910, Mildred was married to Archibald Acheson, Viscount Acheson at St George's Hanover Square Church in London followed by a reception at Dorchester House. The Viscount Acheson was the eldest son, and eventual heir, of Archibald Acheson, 4th Earl of Gosford and Lady Louisa Montagu, a Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Alexandra. His paternal grandfather was Archibald Acheson, 3rd Earl of Gosford and his maternal grandparents were William Montagu, 7th Duke of Manchester and the former Countess Louisa von Alten. Together, Mildred and Archibald were the parents of the five children.

Viscount Acheson's father died in 1922 (shortly after selling the family seat Gosford Castle) and he succeeded to the earldom of Gosford. Five years later in 1927, the couple separated and Lord Gosford went to New York City. The Countess of Gosford obtained a divorce in December 1927, and he remarried to Beatrice (née Claflin) Breese, a granddaughter of merchant Horace Brigham Claflin, on October 1 1928.

Mildred died on September 7, 1965 at Palazzo Salis, her home in Bondo, Switzerland.

Were there any queens/princess/ladies particularly known for their great height? I know Mary Queen of Scots was about 6ft along with her mother and some of her Stuart female descendants were around that height too, but I don't know much about other royal families.

Huh, good question. Obviously these are just a few examples.

Mary Queen of Scots, whom you mentioned, is the most obvious example of a tall royal woman. At her wedding to the Dauphin of France in 1558, Mary, who was not quite fifteen at the time, was noted to stand shoulder to shoulder with her uncles, the brothers of her mother Mary of Guise. It was certainly from Mary of Guise that her Scottish daughter inherited her famous height: the French-born second wife of James V of Scotland was nearly six feet tall herself, and had indeed attracted no less than Henry VIII as a suitor because of her robust physical appearance (though, when Henry said that he was “big in person and in want of a big wife”, Mary shrewdly replied that “I may be a big person, but my neck is small”). Mary Queen of Scots eventually stood around five feet eleven inches - tall for a woman even by modern standards - and it was said that when she fled to England in 1568, she was recognized by strangers by her height alone.

Mary II - the great-great granddaughter of Mary, Queen of Scots - inherited her predecessor’s height as well as her name. The elder daughter of James II and VII (he who began the claims of the Jacobite pretenders), Mary stood at around five foot eleven as well. Her height made for a dramatic contrast between herself and her husband, the eventual William III, who was just five foot six - average height for a man of his day, but unfortunately noticeably shorter than his wife. (This difference was masked in the display of their wax effigies after their death, with William’s placed on a small stool so that he would stand equal to his wife.)

Another tall royal was Duchess Cecile of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a German princess who married Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia in 1905. When her brother, Grand Duke Frederick Francis IV, married Princess Alexandra of Hanover in 1904, Crown Prince Wilhelm attended on behalf of his father, Wilhelm II. Though the Crown Prince was no slouch in the heigh department. and was certainly taller than his father, Cecile stood at nearly six feet tall, and was just about equal in height with the Crown Prince. (They were the parents of that Prince Wilhelm who had been forbidden from marrying Dorothea von Salvati, though he did anyway.)

More distant in the past was Margaret of York, the youngest daughter of Richard, Duke of York and sister to Edward IV and Richard III of England. (This was the same Margaret, incidentally, who had backed the false pretender Lambert Simnel.) The Duchess of Burgundy stood at around six feet tall - perhaps unsurprising, genetically speaking, since her brother Edward was famed for being around 6'4", and indeed at her wedding a contemporary remarked that she resembled her brother in height. (Unfortunately, her husband, Charles, was below average height.)

Not European royals, but royals nonetheless, there were also several Hawaiian royal women noted for above-average height. Queen Kamāmalu, the daughter of Kamehameha I and wife of Kamehameha II, stood over six feet tall, and caused quite a sensation from her height when she and her spouse traveled to Great Britain for a state visit in 1824; her British escort wrote to a friend of his that “Her Majesty is a whacker [slang for a very tall individual] nearly six feet high”, while the Times reported that she was “certainly a fine full grown lady”. Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani, another member of the Kamehameha dynasty, stood over six feet tall as well (if you ever visit the Big Island of Hawaii, you can visit Hulihe’e Palace; Princess Ruth inherited the palace after the untimely death of her son, and although she preferred living in a large hut on the palace grounds, there are a number of artifacts there that give a real sense of the princess’ size.)

There are also a number of royal women I know who were reported as “tall”, though I cannot find specific measurements of height.Sophia Dorothea of Wurttemberg, for example, who married the future Emperor Paul of Russia, was noted for her great height: Catherine the Great, said that she was “tall, shapely, intelligent, quick-witted, and not at all shy”, while a contemporary noted that she was “tall, fair, [and] inclined to embonpoint [a typical eighteenth century description for “healthy” stoutness on a woman]“, and indeed it may be that the famously tall Russian grand dukes took their height from her. Both of Peter the Great’s surviving daughters, Anna and Elizabeth, were described as tall (again unsurprising, given that Peter himself was over six and a half feet tall), and Elizabeth in particular grew fond of metamorfozy balls, in which the members of each sex dressed in the other’s clothing, knowing how well male military attire suited her tall frame.

Time Bandits, Fallout RPG & Artificial Intelligence

We wish to take a moment and offer our condolences and heart felt sympathies to all those injured and killed this week in Christchurch. Such senseless violence achieves nothing and is disgusting to us all. No words can express our sadness over this.

WOW! Once again those Nerds have done it again. They have found some exciting news about entertainment with a movie being adapted to a television series. That’s right, another awesome movie, Time Bandits this time, is going to get a reboot into a TV series. Hopefully it will be great and actually follow the story of the movie. We would say we are not holding our breath, but we would never consider it anyway, after all the examples of this sort of thing going wrong we just hope it doesn’t drag us all into the sucking void of despair. Then for those who like Fallout, who also like RPGs (not the rocket propelled grenade kind for the NSA and CIA who are listening and spying) we have news for you. Fallout is now a pen and paper role playing game, that’s right, and we warn, if you had no one to play fallout 76 with you will still be singing that song ‘Lonely’ again. Further there are miniatures available for table top games similar to Warhammer. Which let’s face it is really cool. We just haven’t figured out the loot boxes that Bethesda has got to be trying to squeeze into the game. Now we suggest everyone run for cover as Buck is back and on the Rant path with news that work is happening to insert AI memory processors to improve music ability. Now we understand this has to be a good thing right? Well, the thing he hates is the imbecilic nature of mumble rappers and the moronic fashion styles they represent. Trust me he really takes issue with that kind of thing. After we get him to calm down we look at the games played this week, followed by the famous events, birthdays, remembrances, and shout outs. The biggest shout out was a moments pause to remember the late great Stephen Hawking who left us last year.

Follow the rules before you define them

Black & White Self-portrait wit glasses by Wix Photographer Juliette Jourdain

“This above ALL:  to thine own self be true.”

~ William Shakespeare

 (Hamlet)

LOL, I have to chuckle.  I admit that I try a number of different online outlets or portals to connect and network.  As I continue to explore, I extrapolate a lot of mistakes being made by a similar group of people.

It would appear as though the majority of marketers think that their prospective clients are dumb or tuned out.  They think they are making the rules, when , in fact, they are breaking the rules.  I thought of a few to get started to those who reach out to prospect for others to hire you as a social media expert. Rule No. 1 Know your audience and what they are looking for Rule No. 2 Lead by example Rule No. 3 Ensure your follower to follow ratio is weighted by who is following you, not the other way around. Rule No. 4 Try to get a few online influencers in your corner. Rule No. 5  Be your own unique voice, don’t try to say what you THINK others want to hear. Rule No. 6  Be creative, be thought provoking, be visual Rule No. 7  Don’t try to build your acclaim by 3 degrees of separation Rule No. 8  Do NOT plagiarize others’ ideas and claim them as your own. Rule No. 9  Give credit where credit is due Rule No. 10  Say thank you, show gratitude, share appreciation These rules can be expanded.  I likely will.  The main idea is to get started with the idea and then let things flow and the ideas evolve.     Rule No. 11  Test your ideas, check for traction, respond to interaction or reaction Start at Rule No. 1 again.  Like a snowball, go through the process again, see what you can attract and build upon as you go through the steps each time. Rule No. 12  Comment to an idea originator if something they said, you tried, and share what worked, what didn’t work. Rule No. 13  You will only build a crowd once you fade into the crowd or are enveloped within one.

Tulip:  my favorite flower

As today putters to an end, I bid adieu to 55 and resolve to coasting towards 60 now that I’ve crossed from the mid-point to the other side.  Thanks to one of my greatest Social Media friends, Mott, shared Conan O’Brien’s birthday post on Facebook and I happened to see this morning.  How cool is that eh?    I like the idea of having “something in common with Conan O’Brien” …. and a whole list of greatest in the following company whom we keep on celebrating an April 18th birthday …. Bon Fete mes ami :o)

Elisabeth: Remember everyone, violence is never the answer.

William: You're right, Elisabeth.. Violence can't be the answer.

Also, what the heck is that smile? (if it's even a smile)
