The DT obit said

"Alastair Hyde Villiers married in 1962, the Hon. Elizabeth Mairi
Keppel, elder daughter of Derek, Viscount Bury (1911-68), by his 1st
wife, Lady Mairi Elizabeth Vane-Tempest-Stuart (of the Marquesses of
Londonderry), by whom he had a son, Charles, b. 1963, and a daughter,
Charlotte, by 1965. He leaves a widow (who is half-sister of the 10th
Earl of Albemarle) and his two children.

Amazing - ignoring one divorce (1976) and a remarriage. Hon Elizabeth
Keppel or Lady Elizabeth Keppel is not his widow, as his ex-wife. His
widow is his second wife Lamorna, formerly wife of NN Elliott.
