The 49-year-old daughter of the late poet laureate Ted Hughes tells Mandrake that she has ended her marriage to László Lukács, a Hungarian-born artist, after 14 years.

“I got divorced last week,” she disclosed at the launch of the book The Queen Must Die by K A S Quinn. “We were separated for a year. It is over and one should be grateful that we can all move on from that.

“I think break-ups are just as bad as divorces, but you just do not have such a financial difficulty. But we sorted everything out.”

The poet, whose mother, Sylvia Plath, the author of The Bell Jar, killed herself when Frieda was two, added that she was not sure whether she would stay in touch with Lukács. “I do not know; they state time is a great healer – I’ll keep you posted on that.”

Frieda, who is also a painter, had been married twice before. “Now, I am able to focus more on what I should be doing,” she added at Kimberly Quinn’s party at the Foundling Museum in Bloomsbury.

“I feel that I have prevaricated a tiny bit, but, after going through a divorce and my brother’s death, there is probably an excuse in there somewhere.

“It is a question of trying to make the most of each day in a more useful, better way. I am just getting to grips with it, really.”
