[2] The relationship between the Prince of Wales and the married Ward was common knowledge in aristocratic circles.

They had two daughters: A few years after her divorce, she married on 20 October 1937 the Cuban-born British Army officer turned theatre impresario Pedro Monés, the 1st Marquis de Casa Maury[a] (known as Pedro [or Peter] de Casa Maury)[6] (1896-1968), the founder of Curzon Cinemas[7] and former Wing Commander of the Royal Air Force[6] and intelligence officer.

From 1938, the couple took up residence in St John's Wood, London, at 58 Hamilton Terrace, which they commissioned from the architects Burnet, Tait, and Lorne.

A portrait of her by the artist John Singer Sargent was discovered on the television series Antiques Roadshow in 2016.
