THE late Queen’s cousin, Mary Dowager, has died aged 92 – as her family pay tribute to the “marvellous role model”.
Mary Dowager, Countess of Strathmore, died at her home in Melrose, on the Scottish border, on Monday, her family have confirmed.
She was related to Queen Elizabeth by blood – as the late Queen Mother’s niece.
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret all attended the Countess’s wedding to Fergus Bowes Lyon in 1956.
She went on to spend the next 60 years living in Glamis Castle in Angus, Scotland.
A family statement read: “They lived in The White House, Glamis for some of their early married life and continued to visit frequently from East Lothian where they lived while Fergus worked as a stockbroker in Edinburgh.
“Fergus inherited Glamis and became the 17th Earl of Strathmore in 1972 and, after making some adaptations to make the private side of the castle suitable for a young family, they moved in in 1975 and threw themselves into life on the estate and in the wider Angus community.”
