FYI, there was a Leopold, Duke of Albany in 1876 (he was 23 years old at the time)--but unfortunately, he didn't look a thing like Hugh Jackman!
Also, he didn't marry Meg Ryan--instead:

He sure didn't look like Hugh. I did not want him to marry Meg Ryan, (cannot remember if he did in the film now or went back to his time perhaps with Meg) nor Deborah Lee Furness. I wanted him to marry me ;D , even giving me a big hug along with that smile would have me floating on air for a week.

You know, I have a Hugh Jackman story I got in Australia when I was in Melbourne. Not a lot of people know (outside of Australia anyway) that Hugh attended college - at least for a time, in Melbourne. While I was there in 2007 I met one of his one-time classmates; and when i gasped and said "you knew him? what was he like?" and she shrugged and said "He was just some skinny tall guy, didn't notice him at all really. He wasn't all that." I was stunned.

I think she was having you on. All of Hugh's education was at school and university in Sydney. He was school captain of the all boys college.
That aside, a few years ago I attended a reunion of my class of '79. When teaching them I was 35. One ex-student was so stunning (and gay) I could not take my eyes off him and was amazed to find who he was. He was quite uninteresting when I taught him at the age of 16.

In 1883, Leopold became a father when his wife gave birth to a daughter, Alice. He died shortly before the birth of his son, Charles Edward.

And here is
Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone
(Hugh Jackman's daughter! ::) )
aged 93, in 1976.[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS4hAbHLszw[/youtube]Don't ask about the brother,
Prince Charles Edward, Duke of Albany .
He became a terrible Nazi, and was disgraced.
See, Meg Ryan, see what you did--
you should have married Hugh after all!
;D
