That would be Mrs. Arthur Scott-Burden--she was an heiress and an equestrian champion in the 1910s. She was formerly the Honorable Cynthia Burke Roche, of London (1884-1966); her maternal grandfather was a protegee of Cornelius Vanderbilt. After Scott-Burden (b. 1879) died in a 1921 polo accident, she remarried in 1922, to Guy Fairfax Cary. Mrs. Scott-Burden's brother, Edmund Maurice Burke Roche (1885-1955), was the grandfather of Diana Spencer.

Princess Diana's great aunt, then?

Speak of the devil, we have a photo on here of this fellow called Maurice Roche, might he be the same brother? www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163448066/in/s...

Burden, President of the Burden Iron Works of Troy and husband of the former Cynthia, Roche, died yesterday of pneumonia at a branch of the New York Hospital in White Plains.
