[edit] Editorial
Under "Marriage and relationships," the page states "...she was married, from 1927 to 1932, to Alexander George McCorquodale..." But the following paragraph states "After the McCorquodales' 1936 divorce..." Were they divorced in 1932, or 1936? Verdant C 19:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Unless I missed it, there seems to be no mention here of her singing career. Could someone add some info on this, please? Jon Rob 14:32, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
"She was a charming, feisty 98 years of age at her death" - perhaps i'm being pendantic, but although this entry is well-written, it doesn't have much of an NPOV. Then again, it's an entry about a romance writer, so who am i to argue....

[edit] Commentary
I loved reading Barbara Cartland novels while I was growing up. My mother even named me after one of the heroines of her book. It is "Ravella" and the name of the book is "The Knave of Hearts". I've been trying to find that book to read it while my mom is still alive. My mom is 82. I think Barbara Cartland was a wonderful author. If anyone ever comes across a copy of that book and wants to share it with me, please email me at peaches11@dontgotmail.com.

[edit] The Diana Connection
"Cartland was openly critical of her step-daughter Diana, Princess of Wales's divorce from the Prince of Wales, which caused a rift between them, one mended shortly before Diana's fatal car crash in Paris in 1997."
Diana was not Cartland's step-daughter, rather the step-daughter of Cartland's own daughter, Raine. It is the rift between Raine and Diana that was supposedly mended before Diana's death. Shn525 10:12, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
