Sporting, motor-racing, surprisingly straightforward daughter of the eccentric Duke of Westminster, 'Bendor'
LADY Mary Grosvenor, who has died aged 89, was the younger daughter of the 2nd Duke of Westminster, known as "Bendor" and one of the richest men in the world until his death in 1953.
Lady Mary was the younger daughter and youngest child of one of the richest men in the world, Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster, and his first wife, Constance Cornwallis-West. Along with her sister Lady Ursula, she was raised by nurses and governesses at the family seat, Eaton Hall, Cheshire. Her parents divorced when she was ten years old. The Duke of Westminster, who went on to remarry three more times, had a keen interest in yachts which helped spark his daughter's own passion for sailing.
Lady Mary Constance Grosvenor was born on June 27 1910. Her father had inherited the Westminster dukedom and a clutch of other peerages on his grandfather's death in 1899; her mother was a daughter of Colonel William Cornwallis-West. Her brother, Earl Grosvenor, a godson of King Edward VII's, died aged four, after an operation for appendicitis, in 1909.
