Mary Somerset, Duchess of Beaufort

Princess Mary was born at White Lodge, Richmond Park. She was baptised with the name Mary of Teck and in 1917 her name was legally changed to Lady Mary Cambridge when her father renounced all his German titles following the outbreak of World War I.

She was a bridesmaid, as Lady Mary Cambridge, at the wedding of Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon on 3 May 1923.[1]

She married Henry, Marquess of Worcester, later the 10th Duke of Beaufort, on 14 June 1923 in London, and became Marchioness of Worcester and later the Duchess of Beaufort when Lord Worcester's father died in 1924.

They had no issue.

Mary was invested as a Commander of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (C.St.J.). She died in 1987, aged 90 at Badminton House, Gloucestershire, and is buried at St Michael and All Angels Church, Badminton.
