Sir John Conroy, 1st Baronet KH (21 October 1786 – 2 March 1854) was a British army officer who became the chief attendant of the Duke of Kent and the Duchess of Kent who were the parents of Queen Victoria. When the Duke died, he became comptroller of the duchess' household and was rumoured to be her lover. Together, they designed the Kensington System, an elaborate and strict system of rules for the upbringing of young Victoria, designed to render her weak-willed and utterly dependent upon them in the hopes of allowing them to wield power through her. Victoria grew to hate Conroy over the oppressive system and immediately expelled him from court life when she became queen.
