I don't want to add a sour note here but does anybody think that her third husband married her for her looks ?

[Butterbun]

She may have had other qualities.

[Sqad]

She's not that bad mikey......I've had worse.

[mikey4444]

You are right there butterbun ! Millions of them according to the 'net, in addition to loads of palaces, diamonds, paintings etc, etc !

[Baldric]

We all age Mikey!

Would you have said that if it had been the other way around?
You're not being Sexist again are you?

[mikey4444]

Don't let Mrs Sqad hear you say that ! ( that will be the woman that you don't let into your room, accept to dust )

[bookbinder]

Looks aren't everything. She was probably a very nice person.

I saw a piece on her on Huffington Post a while ago. I was left with the impression that she a) completely batty and b) someone who would be great company on a night out on the town.

She did it right...

Live fasts die old (and rich).

£600mln, lots of properties, art & 50 titles shared with 6 kids & OH. I would be happy with jusy one title.

Good grief - it's Barbara Windsor or is that Barbara Sreisland....?

[Mamyalynne]

She certainly sounds like she was a fascinating character.

[DTCwordfan]

Sqad didn't tell you one important thing - he used the Falklands trick, one brown paper bag on her head and one on his, just in case hers fell off.

[vakayu]

I am afraid an instance of trying too hard to retain one's looks through plastic surgery!

[mikey4444]

mamy...I think you have struck the nail right on the head here. It was her fascinating personality that attracted her third husband !

[Baldric]

Don't hold back DB, say what you mean!

[ladybirder]

She was beautiful in her youth. How sad she couldn't let herself grow old gracefully instead of becoming a laughing stock and the butt of people's tasteless jokes.

that woman on his arm -

was that his mummy ?

[DTCwordfan]

She shouldn't have gone near my mate's Allergan then....or the hordes that use his product.

[i]£600mln, lots of properties, art & 50 titles shared with 6 kids & OH[i]

Except the story linked to in the OP doesn't say that. It says the kids will get the money, not the husband.

She sounds as if she was rather fun.
