Pauline, Napoleon’s sister, bored of mourning too…

Paulette bored quickly of life with her brother and the rules of mourning, so Napoleon wanted to marry her off as soon as possible.  He arranged a marriage with Camilio Borghese, the 6th Prince of Sulmona.

Paulette liked the title, and secretly married Camilio so she could get out of mourning more quickly.  Napoleon, angry he wasn’t told of the marriage, withheld her title.
