 The later years of her life were spent in the vicinity of Geneva in Switzerland.When her ex-husband was knighted in 1942, Corda insisted that she should be called "Lady Korda," though Korda was remarried by that time, and after Korda's death she made several highly publicized attempts to assert herself as his widow and claim an inheritance, but these failed in the British courts, since by then her ex-husband had married for a third time.Korda continued to pay her a substantial alimony until his death in 1956.
