As Henry wrote in 2022, Peter's mother Isobel is apparently still flourishing:

"SHREWSBURY AND WATERFORD E – Isobel Helen Henrietta Smith nee Chetwynd-Talbot b 1923
Her married surname is in fact MACKENZIE SMITH - this is not at all clear in Debrett's, and easy to mistake Mackenzie as her late husband's middle name.
