Had an affair with a Prince, but his family rejected their engagement...despite them having a child together.
"During the later years of this marriage, Bernhardt was said to have been involved in an affair with the future King King Edward VII while he was still the Prince of Wales.[28]"
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irene_Adler:
"Closer to home is the singer Lillie Langtry, the lover of Edward, the Prince of Wales.[3] As Julian Wolff points out, it was well known that Langtry was born in Jersey (she was called the "Jersey Lily") and Adler is born in New Jersey.[2] Langtry had later had several other aristocratic lovers, and her relationships had been speculated upon in the public press in the years before Doyle's story was published."
