Missing mum Constance Marten who disappeared with newborn baby is related to wealthy baron with ‘ties to Royal Family’

A MISSING mum who disappeared with her newborn baby is related to a wealthy baron who has ties to the Royal Family.

Constance Marten disappeared on Thursday after giving birth “without an assessment by medical professionals”.

The mum, her baby and her partner Mark Gordon have been missing since their vehicle broke down near junction four of the M61, near Bolton.

Now it’s been revealed that Constance is the granddaughter of Mary Anna Marten – whose godmother was the late Queen Mother, MailOnline reports.

Her family used to own the Crichel Estate near Wimborne in Dorset.

Her father, Napier Marten, who was a page to Queen Elizabeth, gave up the £115 million family fortune.

He said a voice in his head told him “to shave my head and go to Australia”.

Cops have urged Constance to make contact and seek medical assistance for her and her baby.

Police believe Constance may have been seen in Essex, firstly near to Harwich Port on Saturday at 9am and then again in Colchester around an hour later.

Greater Manchester Police said: “Evidence suggests that Constance has very recently given birth and neither her or the baby have been assessed by medical professionals.

“With it being three days now, officers are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of the newborn baby which is everyone’s priority and are asking for Constance and any members of the public who have any information to reach out to ensure they are safe and well.”

Mark is described as wearing dark clothing while Constance, who has a southern accent, was wearing a burgundy coat. The baby was swaddled.

GMP’s head of public protection, Chief Superintendent Michaela Kerr, previously said: “As a mum, I would like to make a direct appeal to Constance.

“Constance, I know this is an exceptionally hard time for you and you are likely feeling scared, but I promise that our number one priority is the same as yours – to keep your beautiful newborn safe.

“As you know, it’s really important that both you and your baby are assessed by medical professionals as soon as possible, so please make contact with emergency services or make your way to your nearest hospital, wherever that may be.

“I would also like to appeal to members of the public, not just in Bolton but across Greater Manchester and beyond.

“If you have any information about this family’s whereabouts, please do nothing more than contact emergency services.

“GMP can be contacted via live chat on our website or 999. Even the most minor detail might help us keep this mum and baby safe.”
