Personal life
She married the Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott, R.N., on 2 September 1908, and a year later gave birth to their son Peter Scott, who became famous in broadcasting, ornithology, painting, conservation and sport. In 1910, she accompanied her husband to New Zealand to see him off on his journey to the South Pole. A biographer of the Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen has suggested that, in her husband's absence, she began a brief affair with Nansen, the mentor of Scott's rival Amundsen. This has been refuted. In February 1913, while sailing back to New Zealand to greet Scott on his return, she learned of his death in Antarctica in March 1912. In 1922, she married the politician Edward Hilton Young. Her second son, Wayland Hilton Young was a writer and politician. Her grandchildren include Emily Young, artist, and Louisa Young, writer. She was a member of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers.
Titles
In 1913, she was granted the rank of a widow of a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. This meant that, for the purposes of establishing official precedence, she was treated as if she were the widow of such a knight. However, she was not entitled to be called Lady Scott merely by virtue of this, and it did not amount to Captain Scott being posthumously knighted. When her second husband was created Baron Kennet on 15 July 1935, she gained the title Baroness Kennet.
