SUSAN Barrantes, who has died in a motor accident in Argentina aged 61, was the mother of Sarah, Duchess of York, and latterly the mainstay and a calming influence in her daughter's often turbulent life.
Though divorced, and a widow living in Argentina, her presence with the Royal Family outside Buckingham Palace last year as the coffin of Diana, Princess of Wales passed by, was an indication that at traumatic moments in the life of the Royal Family, she was deemed to be an asset.
She was born Susan Mary Wright on June 9 1937, the youngest of three daughters of FitzHerbert Wright, a former lieutenant in the 15th/19th Hussars and later a company director.
