She and Boulting had three sons together but were divorced in 1968. Afterwards he married actress Hayley Mills, who was named in Enid’s divorce petition. In 1970 Enid married Philip Grantham Yorke, the 9th Earl of Hardwicke, in the chambers of the British Consulate General in Paris. He died in Cape Town in 1974. In the mid-fifties her South African-born daughter had joined her in England, adopted her then step-father’s surname, and became the actress Ingrid Boulting.
