Introduction
Lady Ann Caroline Faber (née Macmillan) was born on 29 August 1923 at 14 Chester Square, Belgravia, London. She was the daughter of Harold Macmillan, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and Lady Dorothy Macmillan, daughter of Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire. Ann Caroline Macmillan was the second of her parents' four children and was their last surviving child.
She attended West Heath Girls' School. Although she was offered a place to study medicine at the University of Oxford, she declined the opportunity. During World War II, she served as an ambulance driver and met her future husband, Julian Tufnell Faber, an officer in the Welsh Guards, during this period. Their marriage began in 1944 and lasted until Faber's death in January 2002. Together, they had five children:
- Anne Christine Adriane Faber (born 1944, died 28 November 2002)
- Michael David Tufnell Faber (born 1945), who married Catherine Suzanne de Braine and had issue
- Mark James Julian Faber (15 August 1950 – 10 December 1991), a Sussex cricketer, who married Ann Griffith and had issue
- David James Christian Faber (born 7 July 1961), a Conservative politician and former committee member of the Marylebone Cricket Club, who married twice, first to Sally Gilbert and secondly to Sophie Amanda Hedley
- James Edwin Charles Faber (born 1964)
In 1970, Ann Caroline Macmillan married Michael Roger Lewis Cockerell, a British broadcaster and journalist born in 1940, son of Hugh Anthony Lewis Cockerell and Fanny Jochelman. They had a son and a daughter before divorcing in 1980. In 1995, she married Hon. David Sidney Bernstein, son of Sidney Lewis Bernstein, Baron Bernstein, and Sandra Alexandra Malone; they had no further children.
The Faber family resided at Birch Grove, the Macmillan family home in East Sussex, as well as at Chester Square in London. Despite disliking politics personally, Lady Ann supported the political campaigns of her family members, including her brother Maurice Macmillan and her son David Faber. She was also involved in charitable activities, notably supporting the National Blind Children's Society.
Lady Ann Caroline Faber passed away in Sussex on 14 September 2016 at the age of 93. Her funeral was held later that month at Chelsea Old Church on Cheyne Walk, London.
