The Kimbolton Cabinet was commissioned by Elizabeth, Duchess of Manchester some time before 1771. It was designed for her bedchamber at Kimbolton Castle, Huntingdonshire. Designed by Robert Adam, the cabinet is a fine example of elaborate marquetry; the woods used are mahogany, oak, satinwood and rosewood inlaid with pietre dure plaques by Baccio Cappelli depicting figures in coastal scenes.

38. 1782 – 1790 HRH Henry Frederick Hanover, Duke of Cumberland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Frederick%2C_Duke_of_Cumberland
His Royal Highness Prince Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland and Strathearn (November 27, 1745 - September 18, 1790) was the sixth child of Frederick, Prince of Wales and Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, and a younger brother of King George III.
On March 4, 1767 the Duke of Cumberland allegedly married Olive Wilmot (later Mrs Payne), a commoner, in a secret ceremony. There reportedly was one child, Olivia Wilmot (1772-1834) from this relationship, though the duke's parenthood was never proven. A landscape painter and novelist, Olivia Wilmot married John Thomas Serres, 1759-1825, and later, controversially, assumed the style of Princess Olivia of Cumberland.
The Duke's marriage to the commoner Lady Anne [Luttrell] Horton (1743-1808) on October 2, 1771 was the catalyst for the Royal Marriages Act 1772, which forbids any descendant of George II to marry without the monarch's permission. There were no children from this marriage. Lady Anne, though from a good family -- she was a daughter of Simon Luttrell, Earl of Carhampton, and the widow of Christopher Horton of Catton Hall -- seems to have been rather loose with her favors, given one wag's comment that she was "the Duke of Grafton's Mrs Houghton, the Duke of Dorset's Mrs Houghton, everyone's Mrs Houghton."
