First marriage On September 1, 1930, Louise was married to the Hon. Andrew Nicholas Armstrong Vanneck (1890–1965), son of the Hon. William Arcedeckne Vanneck, and his wife, the former Mary Armstrong. Andrew was the younger brother of
William Vanneck, 5th Baron Huntingfield, who was the 17th
Governor of Victoria. Their married home was at
Heveningham Hall. Campbell's first marriage, to
Janet Gladys Aitken (daughter of
Max Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook), had ended in divorce in 1934. There was one daughter from Campbell's marriage to Aitken,
Lady Jeanne Campbell (1928–2007), who was brought up mainly by her father when her mother returned to Canada without her. Lady Jeanne later married the American writer
Norman Mailer in 1962; they divorced shortly thereafter in 1963. Together, Louise and Ian were the parents of two sons: •
Ian Campbell, 12th Duke of Argyll (1937–2001), who married Iona Colquhoun, daughter of
Sir Ivar Colquhoun, 8th Baronet, and had two children. • Lord Colin Ivar Campbell (born 1946), who married
Georgia Arianna Ziadie, a Jamaican-born British writer. During the
Second World War, Campbell was in the armed forces and spent five years from 1940 to 1945 as a
prisoner of war. His wife crossed the Pyrenees to
Lisbon, where she helped with relief efforts. Among other things, she arranged for beer and Christmas puddings to be received at the POW camps. The mental and physical abuse in Nazis captivity likely resulted in what is now known as
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) thereby adversely affecting Campbell's personality, marriages, family, and personal relationships for the remainder of his life. Campbell inherited his cousin's dukedom in 1949, making his wife Duchess of Argyll, but they were divorced in 1951. The duke was a notorious spendthrift, and, when asked, Louise is said to have replied "He took everything but my trust funds." The duchess filed for divorce because of the duke's adultery with the woman who would become his third wife, the notorious
Margaret Whigham Sweeny.
Third marriage She relocated to the United States following her divorce, and her third marriage was to Robert Clermont Livingston Timpson (1908–1988), an American investment banker, in 1954. They moved into
Grasmere, a mansion in
Rhinebeck, which she later opened to the public. ==In popular culture==
