The marriage was not a happy one. Lorne is rumored to have been bisexual, if not largely homosexual in predisposition, and certainly had close friendships with several known homosexuals such as the author Horatio Brown and artist Lord Ronald Gower , Lord Ronald Sutherland-Leveson-Gower.

More importantly, Lorne was an associate and confidant of the handsome but dissolute homosexual Frank Shackleton ( brother of the explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton ), who was a key suspect in the theft of the Irish Crown Jewels . Shackleton was to defraud Lord Ronald Gower of money, and there is clear evidence that official investigation of the theft of the Crown Jewels was suppressed.It has been suggested that this is because authorities became aware of the Lorne connection to Shackleton - House of WINDSOR - House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha - ENGLAND - GREAT BRITAIN - royalty - nobili - Nobiltà - portrait - ritratto - regina VITTORIA - velluto - velvet - Epoca Vittoriana - Sassonia Coburgo Gotha - GAY - HOMOSEXUAL - HOMOSEXUALITY - omosessuale - omosessualia' ---- Archivio GBB
