    Mary, whose charms made the Leiter girls popular despite their vulgar mother, was a belle of Washington, D.C.; attention from the Prince of Wales led to equal social success in London. After a long-distance romance and secret two-year engagement, she married Curzon, eldest son of Viscount Scarsdale. As vicereine, she was the second-highest-ranking woman in the British Empire (after the Queen). She grew ill in India and died in 1906.

    She had 3 daughters, Mary Irene (later Lady Ravensdale), in 1896, Cynthia Blanche (first wife of Sir Oswald Mosley), on 23 August 1898, lastly, Alexandra Naldera, on April 20, 1904 (wife of Edward "Fruity" Metcalfe, the best friend, best man and equerry of Edward VIII); best known as Baba Metcalfe.
