Membership in the House of Lords

In May 1999, she inherited the title by the end of the suspension of the title. This potential claims of sister and aunt was preempted. Since the death of the eldest sister, she had claimed the title. The application for termination of the status of dormant title is a peculiarity in English law. Normally a title goes on the principle of patriarchal primogeniture over the firstborn males. If there is no void the title. For some Scottish and old English baronies there is also the possibility of female succession, but not the law of primogeniture, since it does not apply in this case. This has the consequence that, when several female and equal offspring are present, the title rests, because it can not be split. Only when only a legitimate female person can claim the title, as here, he is revived and is awarded on request.

Your seat in the House of Lords took on 27 May 1999 for the first time. Your inauguration, she held on 18 October 1999 on the subject of speeding, and they also mentioned the accidental death of her uncle.
