==Hugo Gerald de Bathe== After the divorce from her husband, Langtry was linked in the popular press to {{ill|Paul IV Anton, Prince Esterházy|de|Paul IV. Esterházy de Galantha|lt=Prince Paul Esterhazy}}, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat. They shared time together and both had an interest in horse-racing.<ref>{{cite news|title=Mrs Lantry to Marry|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1897/09/25/105953740.pdf|access-date=25 June 2015|work=The New York Times|date=25 September 1897}}</ref> However, in 1899, she married 28-year-old Hugo Gerald de Bathe (1871–1940), son of [[Sir Henry de Bathe, 4th Baronet]], and Charlotte Clare. Hugo's parents had initially not married, because of objections from the de Bathe family. They lived together and seven of their children were born out of wedlock. They married after the death of Sir Henry's father in 1870. Hugo was their first son to be born in wedlock – making him heir to the baronetcy.<ref>{{cite news|title=Legitimacy Declaration|issue=Page 5 Column 5|newspaper=[[The Times]]|date=22 February 1928}}</ref> [[File:Hollandsfield.jpg|thumb|left|''Hollandsfield'' in [[Chichester]], England ]] The wedding between Langtry and de Bathe took place in St Saviour's Church, Jersey, on 27 July 1899,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://langtryfarms.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/The-Life-of-Lillie-Langtry.pdf|title=The Life of Lillie Langtry|publisher=Langry Farms (California)|date=2016|access-date=26 May 2016|page=20|quote=On July 27, 1899 at St Saviour's church, she quietly married Hugo de Bathe, 28 years old.

This was the same day that Langtry's horse Merman won the [[Goodwood Cup]]. In December 1899, de Bathe volunteered to join the British forces in the [[Boer War]]. He was assigned to the Robert's Horse Mounted brigade as a lieutenant. In 1907, Hugo's father died; he became the 5th Baronet, and Langtry became Lady de Bathe.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Dudley|first1=Ernest|title=The Gilded Lily|date=1958|publisher=Odham Press|location=London|pages=160–63}}</ref> [[File:Langtry deBathe c1915.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Langtry as Lady de Bathe, circa 1915]] When Hugo de Bathe became the 5th Baronet, he inherited properties in Sussex, Devon and Ireland; those in Sussex were in the hamlet of West Stoke near Chichester. These were Woodend, with 17 bedrooms and set in 71 acres; Hollandsfield, with 10 bedrooms and set in 52 acres; and Balsom's Farm of 206 acres. Woodend was retained as the de Bathe residence whilst the smaller Hollandsfield was let.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Beckett|first1=J.V.|title=The Rise and Fall of the Grenvilles: Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos, 1710 to 1921|date=1994|publisher=Manchester University Press|page=104|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HHq7AAAAIAAJ&q=Charles+Rose+Ellis+married+lady+hardy&pg=PA104|access-date=3 April 2016|isbn=9780719037573}}</ref> Today the buildings retain their period appearance. Modifications and additions have been made, and the complex is now multi-occupancy. One of the houses on the site is named Langtry and another Hardy. The de Bathe properties were all sold in 1919, the same year Lady de Bathe sold Regal Lodge.<ref>{{cite news|title=Regal Lodge sold privately|publisher=Bury Free Press|date=5 July 1919}}</ref>
