Henriette Poincaré (born Henriette Adeline Benucci, lived 1858–1943) was the wife of French statesman Raymond Poincaré. [1] [3] She was born in Passy, France. [2] Her parents were a coachman of Italian origin, Raphael Benucci, and Louise Mossbauer, a young servant. [4] She served for a time as a companion to old ladies of the bourgeoisie. [4]
She was married twice before her marriage to Raymond Poincaré. [2] Her first marriage ended in divorce in 1890; her second marriage ended with her husband's death in 1892. [2] She married Raymond in a civil ceremony in Paris on 17 August 1904. [2] The marriage was secretly solemnized religiously on 5 May 1913, a few months after Raymond was elected to the presidency of France, in their apartment at 10 Rue de Babylone ( 7th arrondissement of Paris) by the rector of the Catholic Institute of Paris, Mgr. Baudrillart, who had been a high school friend of Raymond's. [5] [6] [7] When this secret leaked out, it gave the Radicals a way to criticize Raymond. [7] The press also insulted Henriette for her love life. [8]
In 1917, she was surprised in the garden of the Élysée Palace by an orangutan escaped from a circus that was then held at the nearby Rond-Point theater (or possibly, as another version of the incident has it, a chimpanzee escaped from his master's house, his master being a diplomat lodged near the palace). [9]
