Vice Admiral Sir Trevylyan Dacres Willes Napier, KCB MVO (19 April 1867 – 30 July 1920) was a Royal Navy officer who went on to be Commander-in-Chief, America and West Indies Station.
In 1899, Napier married Mary Elizabeth Culme-Seymour, daughter of Sir Michael Culme-Seymour, 3rd Baronet; they had a son and two daughters.
In 1911, both Mary and her father were witnesses in the criminal libel trial of Edward Mylius, who had written about a rumoured 1890 marriage of the future George V to one of the Baronet's daughters, which would have made the king a bigamist (Mylius was convicted).[11]
