At the end of the 1870s, Alfred’s dad made the decision to sell their home and move everyone to London, which greatly upset Alfred and the rest of the family. You see, Alfred’s dad had a nasty habit of doing whatever he wanted to his family, usually without their consent. What happened next only made that sensitivity worse. It’s no wonder that Douglas became, in his own words, a “very sensitive” child. Whether it was land, money, gifts, or servants, all Alfred had to do was ask for it, and his mom gave it to him. As a result, his mom spoiled Alfred rotten. Since Alfred’s dad was away so often, her mom started seeing little Alfred as a replacement for her perpetually absent husband. This put a major strain on the relationship between Alfred’s parents, which led to some life-changing consequences for the little boy. For one, Alfred’s dad recently got himself a big promotion and became Master of the Worcestershire Foxhounds, meaning he was constantly away from home. He Had An Absentee Fatherīy the time little Alfred was born, things weren’t going so well in the Queensbury household. Unfortunately for Lord Alfred, his noble house came with its fair share of family drama. Now, our friend Lord Alfred wasn’t the son of just any old noble house in fact, Lord Alfred came from one of the noblest and oldest families in Scotland.
On October 22, 1870, Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas was born, the third child of John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry and his first wife Sibyl.
