EARLY LIFE Mrs. Worsley was born Miss Caroline Dewar at Bardowie Castle at Milngavie , a Suburb in Glasgow , Scotland , to The Hon. Henry Evelyn Alexander Dewar, and his wife, the former Cynthia Monica Starkie. She later had a younger brother, John James Evelyn. Her father's half-brother was John Dewar, 2nd Baron Forteviot. Lord Forteviot was 49 and childless, and it seemed likely that Caroline's father would become the 3rd Baron. This expectation was met when Lord Forteviot died on October 24 , 1947 , childless. Because of this, Miss Dewar became '''The Honourable Caroline Dewar'''. MARRIAGE Miss Dewar became engaged to James George Alexander Bannerman, Lord Carnegie, in May 1956 . Lord Carnegie was the son of Captain Charles Alexander Carnegie, 11th Earl Of Southesk ( 1893 - 1992 ), and HH Princess Maud Of Fife ( 1893 - 1945 ), and heir-presumptive to Lord Southesk's Earldom. Lord Carnegie's maternal aunt, Princess Arthur Of Connaught , was the Duchess of Fife in her own right, so Lord Carnegie was also the heir-presumptive to that Dukedom. Through his mother, Princess Maud, Lord Carnegie was a great-grandson of King Edward VII . Miss Dewar and Lord Carnegie were married on 11 September 1956 at Perth in Perthshire . She thus became Lady Carnegie. They had three children.
DUCHESS OF FIFE Lord Carnegie's aunt Princess Arthur of Connaught died on February 26 , 1959 . So, he became the Duke of Fife and Lady Carnegie became Her Grace The Duchess of Fife. However, the Duchess was not to have that position forever. In December 1966 , the Duke and Duchess of Fife were divorced. Because of this, the Duchess lost the style of ''Her Grace'' and became '''Caroline, Duchess of Fife'''. On November 7 , 1980 , the Duchess remarried to General Sir Richard Worsley at London , England . She lost her styling as Duchess of Fife, and became The Honourable Lady Worsley. She has no children from this marriage. SHORTHAND TITLES
