Q&A: Lady Cochrane Sursock
Wednesday, 7 May 2008 — 11:50 pm

In a fascinating interview, Canadian journalist and Monocle editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé (né Brule) talks with Lady Yvonne Cochrane, “doyenne of the Christian East”, discussing Beirut past, Beirut present, and Beirut future.
Update: She is actually Yvonne, Lady Cochrane Sursock, not Lady Yvonne Cochrane as Monocle styles her. Hat tip to Mr. Bond.

She is Yvonne, Lady Cochrane, and would only be as described above if she were the daughter of a duke, a marquess or an earl. Shame on “Monocle” for its crass ignorance.
