Sylvia Brett
Sylvia Leonora, Lady Brooke, Ranee of Sarawak, born ''The Hon. Sylvia Leonora Brett'', (25 February 1885 – 11 November 1971), was an English aristocrat who became the consort to Sir Charles Vyner de Windt Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak, the last of the White Rajahs.
==Early life==
Sylvia was born at No. 1, Tilney Street, Park Lane,〔(Royal Ark; Sarawak )〕 Central London, the second daughter of Reginald Baliol Brett, the 2nd Viscount Esher, KCB. Her mother Eleanor was the third daughter of the Belgian politician and revolutionary Sylvain Van de Weyer and his wife Elizabeth, who was the only child of the great financier Joshua Bates of Barings Bank. Sylvia grew up at the family home, Orchard Lea, at Cranbourne in Winkfield parish in Berkshire. Her paternal grandmother Eugenie Meyer was French, born in Lyons.〔Hignett, Sean: ''Brett, From Bloomsbury to New Mexico, A Biography''; Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1984 p.10 'Dorothy Brett... became convinced that this camp follower (grandmother, Eugenie ) was a mistress of Napoleon and that the Emperor himself may have been her great-grandfather... almost certainly a family fancy'〕
Sylvia's early life was somewhat troubled; by the age of 12 she had made two attempts at suicide, the first by eating rotten sardines, and the second by lying naked in the snow.〔("The girl who would be queen", The Daily Telegraph, 2/6/2007 )〕
