Page "Knight" Paragraph 68
from
Wikipedia
Thus Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife was formally styled Lady McCartney ( rather than Lady Paul McCartney or Lady Heather McCartney ).
The style Dame Heather McCartney could be used for the wife of a knight ; however, this style is largely archaic and is only used in the most formal of documents, or where the wife is a Dame in her own right ( such as Dame Norma Major, who gained her title six years before her husband Sir John Major was knighted ).
The husbands of Dames have no honorific, so Dame Norma's husband remained John Major until he received his own knighthood.
