Prince Charles has led tributes to the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, who died today aged 94.  The last of the famous Mitford sisters, who rubbed shoulders with Winston Churchill and John F Kennedy, "passed away peacefully" this morning.

The Prince of Wales spoke fondly of the Dowager Duchess and said in a statement: "My wife and I were deeply saddened to learn of the death of The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, whom both of us adored and admired greatly.

"She was a unique personality with a wonderfully originally approach to life, and a memorable turn of phrase to match that originality. 

"The joy, pleasure and amusement she gave to so many, particularly through her books, as well as the contribution she made to Derbyshire throughout her time at Chatsworth, will not easily be forgotten and we shall miss her so very much."
