Nancy Astor's Birthday - The Cliveden Set

I visited Blenheim Palace on Sunday for the second time in 2 weeks, as today's visit was a celebration of Lady Nancy Astor's birthday. I did not meet her two weeks ago, so it was especially  nice to meet her today. Nancy shared her birthday with husband Lord Waldorf Astor.They were both born on May 19th 1879.
