Reports of the time estimated her height at 5 feet and 7 inches (1.70 metres). Her hair colour is somewhat uncertain. She has been variously reported as being a blonde or redhead. Her reported eye colour was blue. Sir Melville Macnaghten (1853 - 1921) of the Greater London Metropolitan Police Service reported that she was known to have "considerable personal attractions" by the standards of the time. She was also said to be fluent in the Welsh language.
