She publicly endorsed [[William Hague]] against Kenneth Clarke for the Conservative leadership in 1997.  She made many speaking engagements around the world, including very vocal support of former General [[Augusto Pinochet]], whom the new Labour administration extradited to Spain on trumped-up charges of torturing political opponents. In March 2002 she suffered a mild stroke, and made few speeches. In 2004 she attended the  funeral of her old friend and political soul-mate, Ronald Reagan.
