At first glance, her life could be plucked from a Nancy Mitford novel. She is a viscountess. Her first husband, Sir Reginald Sheffield, is a baronet. Her second husband William Astor, fourth viscount Astor, is also the nephew of her mother’s second husband Michael Astor, son of the American-born Nancy Astor, of the legendary parries with Winston Churchill. Her grandfather, Sir Roderick Jones, was head of Reuters. And her daughter Samantha is married to David Cameron, the British prime minister.
乍一看,她的生活就取材于南希•米特福德(Nancy Mitford)的小说,自己是子爵夫人,首任丈夫雷金纳德•谢菲尔德爵士(Sir Reginald Sheffield)是从男爵;第二任丈夫威廉•阿斯特(William Astor)是第四代阿斯特子爵,是她母亲第二任丈夫迈克尔•阿斯特(Michael Astor)的侄子,同时又是出生在美国的南希•阿斯特(Nancy Astor)的儿子,坊间还盛传他与温斯顿•邱吉尔(Winston Churchill)沾亲带故;祖父罗德里克•琼斯爵士(Sir Roderick Jones)是路透社(Reuters)主管;她的女儿萨曼塔(Samantha)则是嫁给了当今英国首相大卫•卡梅伦(David Cameron)。
