From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Victoria Constance Mary Somerset, Duchess of Beaufort CStJ (née Princess Mary of Teck and later The Lady Victoria Constance Mary Cambridge) (June 12, 1897–June 23, 1987) was the daughter of the 1st Marquess of Cambridge and Lady Margaret Evelyn Grosvenor.
Princess Mary was born in 1897 at White Lodge, Richmond Park. She was baptised with the name of Mary von Teck and in 1917 her name was legally changed to Mary Cambridge when her father renounced all his German titles.
She married the Marquess of Worcester, later the 10th Duke of Beaufort, on 14 June 1923 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.
