Life peer?

"Her father was Lord Harmar-Nicholls ... a life peer, and she is thus entitled to be addressed as "The Honourable Susan Nicholls".
Surely if he was a life peer the title was not inherited. Richardewing (talk) 20:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The children of life peers are entitled to the prefix "The Honourable". However they do not inherit nobility so whilst she is entitled to be called The Honourable Susan Nicholls she will never be Lady Nicholls except in the highly unlikely event that she is awarded a peerage in her own right.

If her husband, Mark Eden, is made a peer or gets knighted, she'll become Lady Eden. --Redrose64 (talk) 13:19, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Harmar

Harmar was her father's given name. In his article we say he changed his surname by deed poll to allow his forename to be incorporated into his title when he was given a life peerage in 1975. Sue was born in 1943 so, unless she has done something similar, her name does not include Harmar.

Her father was made a baronet in 1960 so he would not have been a Sir at the time of her birth. Cavrdg (talk) 14:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
