   LifeSketch: Henry Stuart was the youngest of the three surviving sons born to Charles I and his wife, Henrietta Maria of France. Also known as Henry of Oatlands, to his family he was simply Harry.beth were left in the royal nurseries at St James's Palace and thus became prisoners of the English Parliament. They and their household were for a time moved to the White Tower in the Tower of London, although they were mostly allowed to live in greater comfort in Chelsea, St James Palace and Syon House under various Parliamentary-appointed guardians. 47 (actually the Scots kind of handed him over to Parliament), Henry and Elizabeth were able to see more of him although they were never permitted to live together as a family. When Charles was being held at Hampton Court Palace, for example, his children at nearby Syon House were allowed to visit and spend supervised time with him in the gardens.ather's life but we know the children, whom he hadn’t seen for over a year, were brought to the Palace of Whitehall the evening before his execution so that they could say goodbye. Princess Elizabeth recalled that her father put the 8 year-old Henry on his knee and said "Sweetheart, now they will cut off thy father’s head, Mark, child, what I say. They will cut off my head, and perhaps make thee a King. But mark what I say, you must not be a King, so long as your brothers, Charles and James do live; for they will cut off your brothers’ heads (when they can catch them) and cut off thy head too at the last; and therefore I charge you, do not be made a King by them." With the greatest fervour, Prince Henry replied: "I will be torn in pieces first" and his father was extremely pleased about this. It was indeed wise advice. There had been on-going discussions within the Parliamentary inner circle about turning the young and malleable Harry into a puppet King with Parliament acting as his regent. It should be noted that Oliver Cromwell was, at first at least, very much in favour of this plan. der to find and the children were eventually packed off to Penshurst Place in Kent under the care of the Earl and Countess of Leicester. In 1650, with their eldest brother (now Charles II) mounting an attack from Scotland, the two younger siblings were moved to Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight and it was here that 14 year-old Elizabeth died. Paranoid that Harry would suffer a similar fate, by 1652 the authorities were happy to accede to his request that he be allowed to join his sister Mary, the Dowager Princess of Orange in Holland. In fact, Cromwell even gave the Prince £500 to assist in his journey: he was obviously glad to see the back of him. Henry sailed from Cowes to Dunkirk in February 1653 and finally joined Mary at Delft. She immediately became devoted to this sad, almost 13-year old boy who was still grieving for his sister Elizabeth. Enchanted by Henry’s handsome looks and bright intelligence, she petitioned Charles for permission to let him stay with her permanently. But their mother (backed by Charles) had other ideas and by mid-April, Harry was on his way to Paris.rotestant so when his mother (a woman who was a virtual stranger to him) demanded he become a Catholic, he rebelled fiercely and their continued battle over religion finally reached the point where Henrietta expelled him from her sight. So Harry happily high-tailed it back to Holland in January 1654, reuniting with his sister Mary at Castle Teylingen, but by now the Dutch weren't altogether pleased with him being on their territory, so Henry was forced to join his big brother, Charles in Cologne. Harry's next step was to take up arms, joining the English Royalist and French Fronde rebels fighting with the Spanish Army during the Franco-Spanish War. And at the Battle of the Dunes (Dunkirk 1658) he was joined by his brother, James, Duke of York who commanded the right wing of the Spanish army. Harry consistently distinguished himself in battle, and gradually gained a reputation as one of Europe's foremost Protestant soldiers. France and Spain, Henry remained at the Chantilly estate of the French Fronde commander, the Prince of Condé who had led the Spanish forces at Dunkirk. It wasn't until the death of Oliver Cromwell and the restoration of the monarchy that Harry was reunited with Charles. He returned to England as part of Charles's triumphant progress through London in May 1660, and took up residence at the Palace of Whitehall. Charles had plans to marry Harry to Princess Wilhelmine Ernestine of Denmark to consolidate the British and Danish maritime alliances, and Frederick III of Denmark was also in agreement to the marriage.ed suddenly of smallpox which was raging through London and was buried in the south side of the Henry VII Chapel, Westminster Abbey on 21 September 1660.arry was looked back on as a "lost leader" - a what might have been - a legitimate, Protestant alternative to the unpalatable claims of the Catholic Duke of York and illegitimate Duke of Monmouth.
