Harold Pinter’s widow, Antonia Fraser, is to swap her title from Lady to Dame, following her inclusion in the New Year Honours list as a ‘Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire‘. Harold Pinter declined a knighthood in 1996, but had accepted a CBE in 1966 and became a Companion of Honour in 2002.
Dame Antonia responded to the honour in this Telegraph article. She stated she was “very pleased and very surprised” to receive it.
