Gerald and Angela Lascelles did not divorce until 1978, in which year he was granted permission (under the terms of the Royal Marriages Act) to wed Miss Collingwood.

home at Sigoules, France, where he died, 27 February, 1998. It was here that she died 14 th January 2006 and their ashes were scattered in the garden of their home.
