Would she still be Hon Mrs Mark after a divorce? Or just Mrs Anne Wyndham?

[Richard R]

Whatever the 'official' view of the matter is I've seen divorcees both keep and ditch the handle. Perhaps treat my subject heading as referring to what she definitely was for a while....

Interesting that she is referred to as Hon Anne W - that seems to suggest that she was the daughter of a Viscount or Baron? As a divorcée wouldn’t she have been styled Hon Mrs Anne W? I think it was Jennifer’s Diary that always referred to Mrs Thatcher as Mrs Denis Thatcher as Mrs Margaret Thatcher suggested they were divorced

I'm afraid no-one's monitoring and intervening on such use and it's pretty much a free for all.
