Loelia Lindsay

One of the Bright Young People, she met the twice-divorced, 22-years senior, Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster.

[3] After her divorce, Loelia, Duchess of Westminster, established herself as a skilful hostess at Send, Surrey, occupying herself with needlework and gardening, passions she had inherited from her mother.

During the 1950s she worked as a feature editor for House & Garden magazine, and covered the wedding of Prince Rainier III of Monaco and Grace Kelly.

[3] Lindsay is believed to have popularised the aphorism (falsely attributed to Margaret Thatcher): "Anybody seen in a bus over the age of 30 has been a failure in life", which appears to have been coined by poet Brian Howard.

Sir Martin, a devoted husband,[1] died in 1981, and Lady Lindsay chose to spend her last years in nursing homes.
