He personally pushed through the disastrous Dieppe Raid which led to the deaths of thousands of Canadian troops; a defeat Mountbatten tried to blame squarely on their commanding officer but which was largely the result of his botched planning.
Since Mountbatten had no sons, when he was created Viscount on August 23, 1946, then Earl and Baron on October 28, 1947, the Letters Patent were drafted such that the titles would pass to the female line.

Edwina and Louis Mountbatten, Earl and Countess Mountbatten of Burma
During his brief governor generalship Lord Mountbatten was accorded by the Government of India, to all intents and purposes, his former viceregal powers in the circumstances of appalling carnage and disruption attendant upon the Partition.
Lady Mountbatten in all renderings of the violent disruption that followed the Partition of India is universally praised for her heroic efforts in relieving the misery and to this day she remains a heroine in India of the Partition period — notwithstanding a certain amount of drollery regarding her well-known intimacy with Jawaharlal Nehru.

This will become the standard life of Lady Mountbatten if for no other reason than that the author had exclusive access to her correspondence with Nehru, stretching over more than a decade.
Their passionate if long-distance affair rivals, albeit in a markedly different fashion, the profligacy of her youth, and it says much both for her charm and her husband's tolerance that the pair remained close.
