Description

Diana Mitford, Lady Mosley, was the third and most glamorous of the Mitford sisters. She received her first lessons in politics at the feet of Winston Churchill, whose children Randolph and Diana were her best friends. She was married to Britain's richest man Bryan Guinness when she fell in love with Oswald Mosley, then a Labour MP who had deserted both the Labour and Tory party and was about to set up his own party, the British Union of Fascists. With both husbands she had two sons, and world-famous fashion icons Daphne and Jasmine Guinness are some of her many descendants.
