(Ann) Fortune FitzRoy, Duchess of Grafton GCVO (b. 1920) was born Ann Fortune Smith, the daughter of Captain Evan Smith, and his wife Helen Williams. Her younger brother, Sir John Smith, was a financier with the family bank (formerly Smiths of Nottingham, later the National Provincial Bank and then part of NatWest), a Conservative MP, and the founder of the Landmark Trust.
