Thatcher, Sir Denis

Thatcher, Sir Denis
▪ 2004

      British businessman and political spouse (b. May 10, 1915, London, Eng.—d. June 26, 2003, London), as the devoted husband and confidant of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, was the object of public criticism and political satire, but he endured his seemingly thankless job with great style and self-deprecating good humour. Thatcher was a wealthy chemical executive when he married Margaret Roberts in 1951, and he served as a corporate director after his business was taken over by Burmah Oil in 1965. He was appointed MBE in his own right in 1944 and was made a hereditary baronet in 1991 shortly after his wife resigned from office.
