Personal Life

She was a supporter of the Conservative Party. During the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, Richard was a frequent and conspicuous supporter of Thatcher's policies and accomplishments. At one point the EastEnders script writers gave Richard a script in which Pauline Fowler launched into a vicious tirade against Thatcher; Richard refused to perform this sequence.

Richard was married four times. Her first marriage was to a music publisher, her second to an advertising director. Her third marriage, to a carpet fitter, took place in Westminster, London; Her first three marriages ended in divorce. Richard later lived with John Burns, a painter and decorator 20 years her junior, in the Marylebone area of London. They lived together from 1996, and married on 10 October 2008 at a hotel in London's Mayfair. She had no children.
