Anne Winifred Grosvenor, Duchess of Westminster (née Sullivan; 13 April 1915 – 31 August 2003), known as Nancy, was an Irish born peeress best known for her passion for horse racing. == Early life == Her parents were Brigadier-General Edward Sullivan and his wife Winifred, née Burns. She spent her early life in Glanmire, County Cork, Ireland growing up with two brothers, Langford and George, and practising her riding skills. When the Second World War broke out, Anne Sullivan volunteered for the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry and served six years as personnel driver, while her brother Langford was killed during the Norway campaign. After the war, she returned home to Ireland to stay with her father, and met Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster, in 1946. The enormously rich Duke, then married to his third wife Loelia but long separated, immediately bought property next to her family's home and asked his agent to ask Miss Sullivan to help with the flowers.
