However, Diana stopped her marital relation with Archie Stirling on good terms. Talking about the broken relationship with ex-husband Archie Stirling in 2016, Diana said-
“I was propositioned recently, much to my surprise, and I didn’t know what to do with it. I mean them. I mean him. I never get lonely, even as a child I didn’t.”
She continued-
“Never. If you have a good inner life you don’t get lonely. I’ve got a good imagination. I don’t miss romance. I’m so grateful not to have to go there any more. Does that sound awful? As to who propositioned me, I’m going no further. I don’t want to dig a big hole for myself.”
Unlike Diana Rigg, her daughter Rachael Stirling has been enjoying a blissful married life. She tied the knot with musician Guy Garvey on June 3, 2016, in a secret ceremony in Manchester. Rachael and her husband Guy Garvey have a son named Jack Stirling Garvey, who was born in April 2017.
