Scientists reconstruct the face of Lord Nelson's lover, Lady Hamilton

The identification was made by Dr Philippe Charlier, a forensic anthropology expert who has studied the remains of Richard the Lionheart and King Louis IX of France. Dr Charlier and his assistants were asked to make a reconstruction based on the skull after being told only that it belonged to a white European woman in her 40s. The result is an image of a pretty woman with high cheekbones, a strong chin, and a 'slightly protruding jaw'.
