Born Nancy Sharon Maginnes in Manhattan in 1934, Kissinger was not a US diplomat but regularly accompanied her husband on diplomatic trips during his decades in international affairs.

She travelled with him to Russia, the Middle East and other parts of the world and appeared alongside him during meetings and events involving prominent global leaders.

Nancy and Henry Kissinger had no children together and she is survived by two stepchildren and five step-grandchildren.

Henry Kissinger served as US secretary of state under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and was one of the most influential and controversial figures in US foreign policy during the Cold War.

He died in November 2023 at the age of 100.
