Madame Alphonsine-Thérèse-Bernardine-Julie de Montgenêt de Saint-Laurent (30 September 1760 – 8 August 1830) was the wife of Baron de Fortisson, a colonel in the French service, and the mistress of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn (father of Queen Victoria).
Madame de Saint-Laurent was born on 30 September 1760 in Besançon, France, to Jean-Claude Mongenêt, a civil engineer, and Jeanne-Claude (Claudine) Pussot, and later moved to Quebec.
On the formation of Lower Canada, in August 1791, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, arrived in Quebec City and shortly afterward leased Judge Mabane's house for £90 per annum. He lived at the Duke of Kent House in Quebec City for three years with Madame de Saint Laurent, before he was posted to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1794.
