Grace Maria Kolin later married William Ward, 3rd Earl of Dudley (1894–1969) as his third wife, and from 1975, she lived with Robert B. Silvers.[3]

Radziwiłł married Caroline Lee Bouvier Canfield on 19 March 1959. They had two children:

  • Prince Anthony Radziwiłł (4 August 1959 – 10 August 1999) he married Carole Ann DiFalco on 27 August 1994.

Later life

Radziwiłł was one of the organisers of the Sikorski Historical Institute in London and founder of St. Anne's Church at Fawley Court, the site of Divine Mercy College, a school for boys of Polish origin, set up by the Marian Fathers in 1953 near Henley-on-Thames, England.

He died on 27 July 1976, in London, six days after his 62nd birthday. His body was interred in the crypt of St Anne's Church at Fawley Court.[4]

Title

Upon becoming a British subject and in keeping with standard practice, Radziwiłł would have needed permission from Queen Elizabeth II to use his princely title,[2] but did not receive special dispensation and was known in Britain as Mr. Radziwiłł legally and as Prince Radziwiłł by courtesy.
