The Honourable Alice Caroline Helen Buchan (1908–1993), Lady Ramsay-Fairfax-Lucy. William Rothenstein (British, 1872-1945). Oil on canvas. National Trust, Charlecote Park.

In 1933 Buchan’s father was given a position at court and as a result she served as a maid of Honour to Queen Mary whilst in residence at Holyrood. It was whilst here that she met her husband, Sir Brian Fulke Ramsay Fairfax Lucy, 5th Baronet. In later life she became a writer and wrote several books on Charlecote and the Lucy family.
