Violet Wegner Violet Emily Wegner, (1887-1960), was the daughter of an Extradition Department detective of Scotland Yard, William T. Wegner, and Arabella Eliza née Darby, who resided in a district of London called Tulse Hill. Violet made a career in the music halls from the age of 15. She became known as the "Idol of Berlin". In 1912, Violet married her first husband, Sergio Francesco Enrico Maria Brunetta d'Usseaux (born 3 March 1885, Torino, Italy), in London. Sergio's parents were Comte Eugenio Brunetta d'Usseaux and the Russian Countess Zeiffart. Eugenio was Secretary General of the Olympic Committee that administered the 1908 London Olympics. Eugenio died in 1919 in mysterious circumstances. The fate of his son, and Violet's husband, is also unknown although it is suggested he may have been the son Eugenio was trying to reach following the October Revolution. Whilst traveling in Italy during 1918, Violet met the youngest son and royal prince, Pierre Petrović-Njegoš, of the exiled King Nicholas I of Montenegro. After some delay, it is said, at the behest of Violet's mother who advised them to await the award of monies claimed by the prince from the new Yugoslav government for the confiscation of his family's property in Montenegro, Violet married Prince Pierre (Peter) of Montenegro in Paris in the April of 1924. Violet then became HRH Princess Pierre of Montenegro and thus sister-in-law to Queen Elena of Italy as well as a host of other European princes and kings via her husband's siblings.
