Condolences to Isabel Quine's family and friends.

Dowager Duchess of Grafton died today aged 101

Fortune, Duchess of Grafton, GCVO, the senior lady courtier of the Queen's Household, Mistress of the Robes to Her Majesty for over 50 years, died 3 December, 2021, aged 101.

The former Ann Fortune Smith, was born 24 February, 1920, scion of the Smith landed gentry family, of Shottesbrooke Park and Ashfold, the only daughter of Capt Evan Cadogan Eric Smith, MC [1894-1950], and his wife the former Beatrice Helen Williams. She was a second cousin once removed of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, who was the granddaughter of Frances Smith, later Countess of Strathmore & Kinghorne.

She married 12 October, 1946, Hugh Denis Charles FitzRoy, styled Earl of Euston [born 3 Apr, 1919], son and heir of the 10th Duke of Grafton [1892-1970], and his 1st wife the former Lady Doreen Maria Josepha Sydney Buxton [1897-1923], daughter of the 1st and last Earl Buxton [1853-1934].

She was appointed a Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Elizabeth II in her Coronation year, 1953, and and advanced to the office of Mistress of the Robes in 1967, succeeding Mary, Duchess of Devonshire. As the senior female member of the Royal Household she accompanied Her Majesty on many royal tours, state visits and state occasions. Her 54 year tenure as Mistress of the Robes is perhaps a record.

Her husband succeeded his father as 11th Duke of Grafton, 11 November, 1970, and died 7 April, 2011.

The Duchess of Grafton had issue, James, styled Earl of Euston, and Lord Charles FitzRoy, and three daughters, Lady Henrietta, Lady Virginia and Lady Olivia. Her elder son, Lord Euston, died from cancer, 1 Oct, 2009, and at her husband's death in 2011, the dukedom together with the Earldom of Euston and Viscountcy of Ipswich devolved upon her grandson, Henry, the current 12th Duke of Grafton.

Fortune Grafton was appointed CVO in 1965, advanced to DCVO in 1970, and further advanced to GCVO in 1980. She served as a JP for West Sussex, 1972-90.

Ah how sad and such a familiar face and long standing royal service as the queen's Mistress of the Robes from 1967!
 
That must be another blow to the queen - loosing someone, even at 101 years of age, still remains painful for those left behind. I assume they must have been very close/a true confidante of the queen - given that she started her tenure in the queen's coronation year and was mistress of the Robes for 54 years.
 
Wonder if there will be a new Mistress of the Robes named. Or perhaps not as the late Duchess apparently more or less retired already several years ago.
 
I'm not sure they'll bother. The Queen Mother didn't appoint a new Mistress of the Robes after the last incumbent died, and I don't know that the Queen'll want to get used to somebody new. Sad for the Queen to lose a close friend so soon after losing Prince Philip.
 
Again very sad news - this time from Wellington/Wellesley family:

Skye Joanna Wellesley, who died 12 December, 2021, aged 14, was a scion of the Dukes of Wellington.

She was born 13 December, 2006, a daughter of Lord James Christopher Douglas Wellesley [born 16 December, 1964], and his wife the former Emma Nethercott, and was a granddaughter of the late 8th Duke of Wellington, KG, LVO, OBE, MC [1915-2014].

Very tragic indeed to die so young. I just did some research on Skye Wellesley and found that both her parents and herself were on the Rett: There Is Hope documentary, which explored the "incredible family dynamics, groundbreaking treatment, care and science" of Rett's Syndrome. The Skye Wellesley Foundation was set up for Retts Syndrome research.

Just outside of London live Lord Christopher Wellesley and his family. He and his wife Emma have four children. Skye, their second youngest was diagnosed with Rett a year ago and since then the family has been focused on her care and the search for a cure. The family is followed while dealing with a feeding tube medical procedure being administered to Skye.

The Marchioness of Bath is a walking advert for ending the Nobility. What an bottomless emptiness: from celebbie event to celebbie event to celebbie event. (With "celebbies" between marks).
