Constance Wilde (2 de xineru de 1859, en Dublín, Irlanda, entós perteneciente al Reinu Xuníu^[5] – 7 d'abril de 1898 en Xénova, Italia) nacida como Constance Mary Lloyd, foi la esposa del dramaturgu Oscar Wilde y la madre de los sos dos fíos, Cyril y Vyvyan. Fía de Horace Lloyd, un abogáu irlandés, y Adelaide Atkinson Lloyd; casóse con Wilde el 29 de mayu de 1884, y tuvo a los sos dos fíos dos años dempués del matrimoniu.^[6] En 1888 publicó'l llibru There Was Once (Érase una vegada), basáu nes hestories pa neños qu'escuchara de la so güela.

En 1891 conoz al amigu de Oscar, Lord Alfred Douglas, cuando'l mesmu Wilde llevar a la so casa de visita, xustamente la dómina en que Wilde vivía más n'hoteles que na so casa de Tite Street. Dende la nacencia del so segundu fíu, Vyvyan, la rellación ente Constance y Oscar tornárase distante. Afírmase que nuna ocasión, cuando Wilde alvertía a los sos fíos sobre lo que podía asocede-y a los neños traviesos que faíen llorar a les sos madres, los neños preguntáron-y qué yera entós lo que-yos asocedía a los padres ausentes que faíen llorar a les sos madres. La rellación de Wilde colos sos fíos, sicasí, siempres se caltuvo en bonos términos.^[8]

En 1895, pola so inorancia na tema, Constance amosóse confundida y ablayada cuando Oscar foi xulgáu y encarceláu pola acusación d'indecencia grave».^[9]

Depués del encarcelamientu de Wilde, Constance camudó'l so apellíu y el de los sos fíos a «Holland», pa caltenese al marxe del escándalu de Wilde. La pareya nunca se divorció, y anque Constance visitó a Oscar na cárcel pa da-y la noticia de que la so madre morriera,^[10] más tarde obligar a arrenunciar a los sos derechos de paternidá.

On May 7, Wilde was released on bail to enjoy three weeks of freedom until the start of his second criminal trial.
The Lliberal government determined to go all-out to secure a conviction in Wilde's second trial, even when people such as Queensberry's attorney Edward Carson were urging, "Can you not let up on this fellow now?" There is much speculation about the government's aggressive position on the Wilde case. Prime Minister Rosebery was suspected of having had a homosexual affair, when he was Foreign Minister, with Francis Douglas, another one of Queensberry's good-looking sons. It was shortly after Francis Douglas was "killed in a hunting accident" (probably a suicide), that Queensberry went on the rampage against Oscar Wilde. There is plausible evidence in the form of ambiguous letters to conclude that Rosebery was threatened with exposure by Queensberry or others if he failed to aggressively prosecute Wilde. It is interesting to note that during the two months leading up to Wilde's conviction, Rosebery suffered from serious depression and insomnia. After Wilde's conviction, his heath suddenly improved.
Wilde's second prosecution was headed by England's top prosecutor, Solicitor-Xeneral Frank Lockwood. Although the trial resembled in many way the first, the prosecution dropped its weakest witnesses and focused more heavily on its strongest. Lockwood had the last word in the trial, and used it to offer what Wilde described as an "appalling denunciation [of me]--like something out of Tacitus, like a passage in Dante, like one of Savonarola's indictments of the Popes of Rome." After over three hours of deliberation, the jury returned its verdict: guilty on all counts except those relating to Edward Shelley. Wilde swayed slightly in the dock; his face turned gray. Some in the courtroom shouted "Shame!" while expressed their approval of the verdict.»
