Answer 1

LIke her famous daughter, Frances Shand Kydd spent a lifetime looking for love and personal and spiritual fulfillment. In 1954, the 18-year-old Honourable Frances Ruth Burke-Roche married "Johnny" Spencer, Viscount Althorp, at 30 twelve years her senior. Does the pattern sound familiar?

Frances gave birth to three daughters and two sons, including a son born in 1960 who died ten hours after his birth. After Frances finally gave birth to a healthy son and heir in 1964, three years later in 1967, she bolted to live with Peter Shand Kydd, the heir to an Australian wall paper fortune. After a bitter divorce and custody battle, the Althorps (or Spencers) divorced in 1969, and Frances married Shand Kydd in May of that year.

Although the Shand Kydds had a flat in London and a farm in Australia, Frances much preferred the isolation of an 18th century farmhouse in the Hebrides on the island of Seil, Scotland, overlooking the island of Mull. She also opened a gift shop 14 miles away in Oban.

Her youngest daughter's marriage to Prince Charles brought with it much unwanted media scrutiny, upon which she blamed the breakup of her marriage to Shand Kydd in 1988, although he left her for a much younger woman. In 1992, she moved out of her Ardencaple, Seil, farmhouse to a nearby bungalow, buying it from the Scottish singer, Kenneth McKellar.

In 1994, Frances converted to Roman Catholicism and subsequently devoted herself to charities, including working as a care giver to the disabled on annual pilgrimages to Lourdes. At the time of Lady Diana Spencer's death, she was estranged from her daughter supposedly because she had given a paid interview to Hello! Magazine, payment going towards building a prayer house on the island of Iona. When Frances testified at the trial of Lady Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, in 2002, she admitted to this severing of contact.

Towards the end of her life, Frances immersed herself in charity work, including organizing fundraising for the bereaved families of the Lockerbie, Scotland, air crash, as a patron of the Mallaig and North West Fisherman Association, and as a volunteer for the Handicapped Children Trust, the Royal National Mission for Deep Sea Fisherman, and with the National Search and Rescue Dogs Association.

In 1996, her driver's license was suspended when she was caught driving while intoxicated.

Frances died June 3, 2004, of a degenerative brain disease that combined aspects of Parkinson's and brain cancer. Her royal grandsons were among the mourners.

You might be able to find the answer by putting Princess Diana in google and find her Mother's name. Then take that name and do the same. I don't think I ever heard that her mother did anything but marry someone else
