Diana Miller, Countess of Mértola

Who is Diana Miller, Countess of Mértola?

Diana Mary Miller, 11th Countess of Mértola, 15th Baroness Conyers, 9th Baroness Fauconberg was the eldest daughter of Sackville Pelham, 5th Earl of Yarborough.

On the death of her father in 1948, she inherited the Portuguese countship of Mértola, while she and her sister, Lady Wendy Lycett became co-heirs to the baronies of Fauconberg and Conyers, which went into abeyance. The death of her sister in 2012 terminated the abeyance in favour of the Countess, who succeeded in the baronies at that point. Since her own death in 2013, the titles are in abeyance once more.

On 15 November 1952, Lady Diana married Robert Miller and they had two daughters - who are now co-heiresses to the baronies - Marcia Anne and Beatrix Diana. In 1959, Marcia was adopted by her aunt, Lady Wendy, and renamed Anthea Theresa Lycett. Beatrix Diana married in 1991 Simon William Jones Armstrong, son of C. W. Armstrong. The couple have two sons.
