Father of Queen Mary. Francis was relatively poor, which made him an unpopular choice for European princesses. He eventually married upwards into a richer family to Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge (a.k.a. Fat Mary), a granddaughter of King George III, as she too had trouble finding a suitable husband due to her unattractivness. Despite their modest incomes, the Tecks built up large debts and fled to Europe in 1883. They returned two years later and their daughter, Princess "May", was engaged to Prince Albert, Duke of Clarence. He died a few weeks later but she then married Albert's brother, the Duke of York (later George V) and their income improved. Francis died at Richmond Lodge, Surrey in 1900, but it alleged that he may have died in a Viennese brothel and his body brought home secretly to avoid public embarrasment.

Franz married Mary Adelaide Wilhelmina Elizabeth of Cambridge 12 Jun 1866, Kew, Surrey, England, United Kingdom. Mary (daughter of Adolphus Frederick Hanover, 1st Duke of Cambridge and Auguste Wilhelmine Luise von Hessen-Kassel) was born 27 Nov 1833, Hanover, Prussia, Germany; died 27 Oct 1897, White Lodge, Richmond Park, London, England; was buried 3 Nov 1897, St.George Chapel Cemetery Windsor, Berkshire, England.
