Q&A: Lady Cochrane Sursock

In a fascinating interview, Canadian journalist and Monocle editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé 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.

Sursock , 89 years old who is the daughter of Elia Sursock, i would like to
ask you if you could be so kind as to make some inquieres wheter the above
mentioned ladies are relatives of lady Yvonne Sursock. İf this is the case, please
let us know if and how to get ın touch with lady Yvonne of course if she agrees
to this.

They are living in İstanbul and asked me to write to you with this request.
They had also family in Lebanon, but they passed away durİng the war.

Thanking you and hoping to hear from you,
