There appear to be several versions of the name YURIEVITCH. I've gone for this version.

She is not listed in Debretts - is there a Debretts policy of not including former wives of deceased peers (unless they are the mother of existing peer) but only widows?

In a word, yes, I think that is the usual policy (not going to say always as Debrett's can be quite mercurial). She's mentioned in the predecessors section of course.

In Wikipedia he is Serge Youriévitch
It looks like he wasn't a prince. Both English and Russian Wikipedia articles don't mention any title.
His grandfather Semyon Alekseevich Yurievich was from the szlachta (Polish nobility). https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=lt&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fru.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F%25D0%25AE%25D1%2580%25D1%258C%25D0%25B5%25D0%25B2%25D0%25B8%25D1%2587%2C_%25D0%25A1%25D0%25B5%25D0%25BC%25D1%2591%25D0%25BD_%25D0%2590%25D0%25BB%25D0%25B5%25D0%25BA%25D1%2581%25D0%25B5%25D0%25B5%25D0%25B2%25D0%25B8%25D1%2587&edit-text=
In English version his wife is described as Princess Helene (née de Lipovatz). According to wikipedia her father was General Jovan Popovich Lipovatz, born in Montenegro. He was ennobled in 1878 in Russia. He didn't receive any title. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=lt&sl=ru&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fru.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F%25D0%259F%25D0%25BE%25D0%25BF%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B2%25D0%25B8%25D1%2587-%25D0%259B%25D0%25B8%25D0%25BF%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B2%25D0%25B0%25D1%2586%2C_%25D0%2598%25D0%25B2%25D0%25B0%25D0%25BD_%25D0%25AE%25D1%2580%25D1%258C%25D0%25B5%25D0%25B2%25D0%25B8%25D1%2587&sandbox=1

His princely title was granted by Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich of Russia in 1938. Kirill assumed the headship of the Imperial Family of Russia in 1924.
