Joy asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Lois McMaster Bujold I don't think Cordelia ever got an apology, but in due course (after several years) her criminal charges got ironed out, so she and her mother could exchange a few visits. And, of course, so that Miles might make his later visits, which he seems to have done unexceptionably except for Bothari's assorted weapons violations.

The general reaction to the marriage was at first imaginatively negative; later, largely forgotten, as such news kerfluffles tend to be. There might have been the occasional article such as American women who marry important foreigners sometimes get, but Cordelia would not have cultivated such. (Someone on-staff might have been managing such PR for her.)
