British nobleman (1870–1910)
Prince Francis of Teck (Francis Joseph Leopold Frederick; 9 January 1870 – 22 October 1910) was the younger brother of the British queen Mary of Teck , wife of King George V .

[ edit ] The Duchess of Teck with her children, about 1884.
Francis Joseph Leopold Frederick, known as "Frank", was born at Kensington Palace and educated at Wellington College , Cheltenham College (Stone, 1912, p. xviii)[1] Royal Military College, Sandhurst .
His father was Prince Francis, Duke of Teck , the son of Duke Alexander of Württemberg and Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde (created the Countess von Hohenstein). His mother was the Duchess of Teck (née Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge ), the youngest daughter of Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge and a granddaughter of George III . Frank was thus styled "His Serene Highness Prince Francis of Teck".
Education
[ edit ]
He was expelled from Wellington College, Berkshire "for throwing his housemaster over a hedge to win a bet. All through his life he was an incorrigible gambler. He then went to Cheltenham where he got into more trouble."[2]
Personal life

Francis never married. According to Julia P. Gelardi 's Born to Rule , Prince Francis was vigorously pursued by Princess Maud of Wales , his sister's sister-in-law. The two exchanged letters, but it soon became clear that Francis was not interested in Maud. She went on to marry her first cousin Prince Carl of Denmark , becoming Queen of Norway in 1905.
