they adopted two girls of mixed race during a time of anti-immigrant sentiment and when interracial marriage was frowned upon: Lady Maria Gordon-Lennox (1959). She married Mr. Handy. They have one daughter: Michaela Handy Lady Naomi Gordon-Lennox (1962). She married Gavin Burke in 1999 and they were divorced. They have three children. Both girls were born in England to white mothers, with a Ghanaian and a black South African father respectively. Adopted children of peers were not allowed to use styles, titles and courtesy titles until a Royal Warrant issued in April 2004 meant that Maria and Naomi were elevated as Ladies, as daughters of a duke of the realm.
