The Duchess as Chancellor visited the University of Exeter in the spring of 1959, escorting Princess Margaret who opened a new science building. I was lucky enough to see them both at close range, though at the time I did not realize the Duchess was the Mistress of the Robes I had also seen in the Coronation film. Nor did I know her connection with the Kennedys. She was a tall and rather calmly elegant figure. O/T I know, but the Devonshire connections are so interesting.
