Harriet Howard (1823–1865) moved in with Mason when she was fifteen years old. Later she became the mistress of Napoleon III. Mason married twice: the first time in 1840 to Charlotte Mary Zoe Elmore, the daughter of the horse dealer in whose blue colours and black cap Mason had won the National, but it ended in divorce. He died of throat cancer in 1866. (en)
