In 1574 she again aroused Elizabeth's anger by marrying her younger son, Charles, to Elizabeth Cavendish, the stepdaughter of the Earl of Shrewsbury.
He was married twice: first, to Lady Georgiana Spencer (1757–1806); second, to Lady Elizabeth Foster, née Hervey (1759–1824), daughter of the 4th Earl of Bristol, who had been his mistress and his first wife's friend and confidante for more than twenty years.
It is believed she introduced Princess Margaret to Antony Armstrong-Jones in 1951 and although she herself never married, Elizabeth Cavendish did form a close relationship with the writer and future Poet Laureate, John Betjeman that same year and was called by Betjeman's daughter, Candida, her father's 'beloved second wife'.
