She was the Marchioness for only as long as her marriage. Upon Billy's death, his sister-in-law Debo (now the Dowager Duchess) became the Marchioness. I believe that her tombstone reads "Kathleen, Lady Hartington". --Previous Message-- : I know the details of the Kennedys' lives, : including that of Kathleen.
