She was by now Marchioness of Douro and 37 years old. (Lilian) Maud Glen Coats (3 February 1885, Belleisle, Scotland - 3 May 1946, London), the daughter of the George Coats, 1st Baron Glentanar, a Scottish cotton manufacturer, married Arthur Wellesley, Marquess of Douro in 1909. They had two children, a son and daughter. Her husband made himself notorious in the run up to World War II by his support of far-right and anti-Semitic causes. A member of the Anglo-German Fellowship from 1935, he was a strong proponent of appeasement. He had succeeded to the title of 5th Duke of Wellington in 1934 and died during the war he'd so opposed, in 1941. The couple's son, now 6th Duke of Wellington, was killed in action in Italy only two years later. Their daughter would marry and live until 1998, but the Duchess died exactly a year after the war ended in Europe, at the age of 61.
