==Divorce and second marriage== In 1972, Susan caused a stir in society circles by leaving her family to move to [[Argentina]] with professional polo player [[Héctor Barrantes]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Harris |first=Paul |date=26 October 2002 |title=Fergie: How food became my only friend |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/oct/27/monarchy.paulharris |access-date=25 November 2020 |newspaper=The Guardian}}</ref> Her daughters were then raised by their father Ronald with the help of extended family. Susan and Ronald divorced in 1974, and in 1975 she married Barrantes.<ref>{{cite web |date=22 September 1998 |title=Duchess of York's Mother Buried |url=https://apnews.com/article/8ecc5401c884b5e434e4c26e4723f2e0 |access-date=7 December 2020 |publisher=Associated Press}}</ref> Susan and her new husband moved to the ranch-manor "El Pucará" in [[Tres Lomas]], Argentina. In her writings and filmographic work, she recorded that aside from the birth of her two daughters, her life in Argentina was the happiest time of her life personally and professionally, since she had the chance to explore and develop a documentary film career that combined her two passions, polo and film. She also assisted her husband's business of breeding polo ponies and cattle until his death from cancer in 1990. Widowhood brought financial difficulties for Susan Barrantes, and she once again decided to start afresh. Selling more than half the farm to the polo-playing Australian media magnate [[Kerry Packer]], she relocated to a large flat in the [[Recoleta, Buenos Aires|Recoleta]]-Palermo borough of [[Buenos Aires]] and set up a television production company, making films about horses.<ref>{{cite news |date=21 September 1998 |title=UK Horsewoman at home on the ranch |work=BBC News |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/175871.stm |access-date=5 October 2017}}</ref> Susan remained firm friends with Prince Charles, who contributed a foreword to her book ''Polo''.
