Notes

^ [1] The hyphenated version of the surname was used in official documents at the time of her marriage, but the family itself tends to omit the hyphen. ^ [6] In an earlier allegation, published by [7] Lady Colin Campbell claims Elizabeth's biological mother was the family cook, Marguerite Rodiere, by means of a surrogacy arrangement that was not uncommon in aristocratic families at the time. This theory is dismissed by royal biographers such as Michael Thornton and Hugo Vickers In an earlier allegation, published by Kitty Kelley in 1997, Elizabeth's mother is said to have been a Welsh maid.
