New series highlights life of Sandra Rivett on 50th anniversary of her murder by Lord Lucan

On November 7, 1974, Lord Lucan killed nanny Sandra Rivett, mistaking her for his estranged wife. This year marks 50 years since the murder, which has often overshadowed Rivett's life and legacy. A new BBC Two series, starting November 6, 2024, examines Lucan's possible escape to Africa. It aims to highlight Rivett's story, which has been largely forgotten in the focus on Lucan's infamy. Earlier this year, an Amazon Prime documentary also sought to honor Rivett. Her sister expressed gratitude for the renewed attention, stating it has helped recognize Sandra as a person, not just a victim.
