Harris met actor Pierce Brosnan around the time of her separation from Dermot Harris. They began living together in Wimbledon before marrying on December 27, 1980.

Christopher later pursued a career as a film director, writer, and producer, following in his parents' professional footsteps.
Illness and Death
At the age of 39, Harris was diagnosed with ovarian cancer—a disease that had also claimed the life of her mother, Roma, in the early 1960s. She battled the illness for several years and passed away on December 28, 1991, in Los Angeles, California, at age 43.
Tragically, her daughter Charlotte also died of ovarian cancer on June 28, 2013, at the age of 41. This hereditary health condition had a lasting impact on the family.
Information about Cassandra Harris's net worth remains unknown.
