His father, <a href="/wiki/Elliott_Zborowski" title="Elliott Zborowski">Elliott Zborowski</a>, was also a racing driver, and died in a racing crash, in 1903 at <a href="/wiki/La_Turbie" title="La Turbie">La Turbie</a> Hillclimb in <a href="/wiki/Nice" title="Nice">Nice</a>, France.

She had been Madame de Stuers before her divorce and marriage in 1892 to Elliott Zborowski. On arriving in England, Elliott had styled himself with the title "Count" and was known generally as "Count Zborowski", although there is no firm evidence that he had any legitimate claim to any such title.
