Veronica, Countess of Lucan, known as Lady Lucan (née Duncan; 3 May 1937 – 26 September 2017), was the wife of the 7th Earl of Lucan, an Anglo-Irish peer. She became widely known following the events of 1974, when her husband attacked her and the family’s nanny. Lady Lucan survived the attack, but the nanny was killed. Lord Lucan disappeared shortly afterwards, leading to one of the most enduring mysteries in British history.
