She is a second cousin of the queen. In 1947 she attended the royal wedding. Was she later present at family events?

Is this lady Mrs Peter Wise? She hasn't been seen at royal occasions since the early 70s when she lost her infant child in distressing circumstances.

Yes, Michael, one and the same person

Some details of the Wise family:

Peter Ronald Wise (b. 1929) s. of Anthony Forster Wise, Capt. Indian Army by his wife Eva Elizabeth Glentworth (1904-1976), dau. of Ronald Hugh Baillie, O.B.E., of the Royal Horse Guards. A. F. Wise's daughter Elizabeth Ursula Forster Wise (1924-1993) m. the 3rd Baron Burton.

Anthony Forster Wise (1885-1976) was s. of Bernhard Ringrose Wise (1858-1916), of Sydney, N.S.W., educ. Rugby and Queen's Coll. Oxon., a barrister, attorney-general N.S.W., M.P. (Sydney) by his wife Lilian Margaret, dau. of John Forster Baird, of Beaumont Hill, Northumberland.

Bernhard Ringrose Wise was s. of Edward Wise (1818-1865) by his wife Maria Bate, dau. of Lt John Smith, R.N. Edward Wise was educ. Rugby, a barrister, who went to Sydney in 1855 and was appointed in 1857 solicitor-general, and in 1859 attorney-general, of N.S.W., appointed a judge of the Supreme Court of N.S.W. in 1860. Edward's sister Emily Anne Wise was married to Sir William Montagu Manning, a notable politician and judge (see wikipedia and elsewhere).

Edward Wise was son of another Edward Wise, of Hill Grove, Bembridge, Isle of Wight (resident there for 65 years until his death in 1863) by his wife Amelia Wilson. His father was from Maidstone, Kent, from which county the Wise family apparently 'originally came'.

Bernhard Ringrose Wise and his father Edward Wise have wikipedia articles; the family also appears under 'Wise of Manly' in Burke's Colonial Gentry.

Was there a legal case following the death in 1974?
