The Duchess of Buccleuch and Queen Victoria are lifelong friends, with the king portraying the Duchess as "a friendly, sensible, intelligent little guy." In 1842 at Buckingham Palace, during the preparation of Queen Victoria to visit Scotland, the Duchess helped advise her in the country. Duke and Duchess helped entertain the Queen and Prince Albert when they arrived at Dalkeith. Historian Alex Tyrrell writes that the Duchess helped "consolidate the Conservative influence in the royal household and balance the memories of Bedchamber Crisis." The Queen stood as godmother to Duchess's eldest daughter Victoria Alexandrine, who was baptized at Buckingham Palace in April 1845. Montagu-Douglas-Scotts was the patron of artist Robert Thorburn, and commissioned him to paint several portraits of Duchess, including his double portrait and Lady Victoria ; this was given to Queen Victoria in 1847.
The Duchess of Buccleuch resigned from the position of Mrs Cloak in 1846, and was replaced by the Duchess of Sutherland. He is a member of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, the Third Class.
The high faith of the Duchess church is the influence of his brother, Revd Lord John Thynne, who is the high church canon of Westminster Abbey. She and her husband built St Mary the Virgin, an Episcopal church in Dalkeith. For the suffering of the Duke, he entered Roman Catholicism in 1860, "having fought with his conscience for years during his troubles will cause his husband the Presbyterian." Soon after his marriage he became friends with Cecil, Marchioness of Lothian, another prominent Roman Catholic in Scotland. Both were involved in a philanthropic work in Edinburgh together, and Lady Lothian helped persuade the Duchess to take the decision to convert. His brother Lord Charles also entered Catholicism.
The Duchess enjoys gardening and landscaping, and spends a lot of time watching the Drumlanrig Castle gardens. Her husband died in April 1884, and she moved to Ditton Park in Slough, Buckinghamshire.
