I mean, that's also what I thought when I saw the snippet of Selena's email in Gmail!
Did not know about that mistress of BPC (who appears also to have been his cousin), nor the guy his daughter had an affair with! But then, I haven't yet read the McLynn biography of BPC, which I will no doubt inevitably do some day...
BPC's mistress is pretty well known (she also shows up in Outlander, which I realize you haven't read), but Clementina's affair is very obscure. It came as a surprise to me to learn about it in the last few years (slightly before salon?), and it might not be in McLynn.
What I would really like to read is The Stuarts' Last Secret: The Missing Heirs of Bonnie Prince Charlie, published in 2002 (I left Jacobite fandom in 2001), by Peter Pininski, who discovered, to his surprise, that Clementina had had an affair and illegitimate children, and that he was their descendant. (No, he is not claiming the throne, he seems very sane.) You can read about it here.
