Family Life
Maudling married actress Beryl Laverick (1919–1988) six days after the outbreak of World War II in 1939. They had three sons and a daughter, the modish Caroline Maudling, who became a journalist in the 1960s as the "travelling teenager" of the Daily Mail and, among other things, appeared alongside John Lennon of the Beatles on BBC TV's Juke Box Jury in 1963. Maudling's mother had disowned him as a result of his marriage, and Maudling did not attend her funeral in 1956. When his own daughter Caroline aroused comment by becoming an unmarried mother in the late 1960s, Maudling was staunch in her defence, publicly expressing paternal pride. Beryl Maudling was buried next to her husband at Little Berkhamstead.
