Susanna Innes-Ker, Duchess of Roxburghe

 * ... that Susanna Innes-Ker, Duchess of Roxburghe was one of Queen Victoria's longest serving ladies-in-waiting? Vanity Fair p. 160
 * ALT1:... that Susanna Innes-Ker, Duchess of Roxburghe was present during an attempted assassination attempt on Queen Victoria, when the would-be assassin was seized by Eton College students? King p. 412: "Princess Beatrice, who was sitting beside her mother in the carriage, had actually seen the man take aim and fire with a revolver, but she had remained calm, so as not to scare the Queen. The Duchess of Roxburghe, also in the carriage, assumed at first that it was all a joke. But the man, a lunatic called Roderick Maclean, was set upon by Eton boys with umbrellas and taken to the police station."

 * Symbol possible vote.svg I like the first hook; it's simple but interesting. It checks out to Vanity Fair. Though this is an unusual source for Victorian nobility, I guess it's RS. The article has just been moved to main space from sandbox so is new enough. It's also NPOV and long enough. No image or obvious copyvio. Waiting on a QPQ but, that aside, all seems good.

 * Thanks for the review. I can work on finding an additional source to back up the longest serving claim. Will also post here once I’ve completed the QPQ. Ruby2010 (talk) 14:52, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Ruby2010 - I didn't mean to imply a new source was necessary. I think the one you have is fine. Chetsford (talk) 19:56, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I must have forgotten about this one! The QPQ is now added. I should also clarify that the citation is from the contemporary magazine Vanity Fair, not the modern Vanity Fair. Ruby2010 (talk) 20:48, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
