The article talks of her "mysterious" death. Later it says she died of cancer. What is mysterious?

It's down to poor wording. The mysterious death, and the beauty, refer to her ancestor. I have reworded. KJP1 (talk) 07:41, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have removed the reference to Ms Neate's work as WP:FRINGE, although left the book in Further Reading. I don't think any historian of the period gives any credence whatsoever to Ms Neate's views, the absurdity of which are demonstrated by the following comment on her blog, amongst many other examples. Of Asquith, Ms Neate writes; "in my view he was another Jimmy savile" (sic).[1] KJP1 (talk) 07:57, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
