William Leeds (by her second husband William Bateman Leeds), husband of Princess Xenia of Russia (who's also a niece of Prince Christopher). There are inconsistencies in various
sources regarding the year of birth of Nancy. Alain Giraud one of the authors of L'ALLEMAGNE DYNASTIQUE posted a response to royaute2 on 31 Aug 2004 that meticulous research had established her year of birth as 1878.
In Prince Christopher's book "Memoirs of H.R.H Prince Christopher of Greece" page 152 he mentions his wife Nancy was "exactly fours years than I", which would suggest her year of birth was 1884. Her entry in the death index for England and Wales shows her age as 40 at the time of her death Nancy was firstly married on 1 October 1894 to George Worthington (died 22 August 1950), they divorced 23 March 1899. Some sources report their divorce was in 1898. Nancy was secondly married on 3 August 1900 to William Bateman Leeds (19 September 1861 - 23 June 1908).
