She is, after all, the 82-year-old granddaughter of the great Winston Churchill — and was readying to fly out that day to Toronto ahead of the Oct. 2 opening of her new exhibition at the Iona Studio (not to mention the dinner held in her honour at the home of titan James Fleck — the invite of the week).
