# Lady Mosley
|
|
|
|
## Lady Mosley, who died in Paris on Monday aged 93, was a friend of both
|
|
Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler, and decidedly more fascinated by the
|
|
Fuhrer.

|
|
The third and the most beautiful of the six Mitford sisters (daughters of the
|
|
3rd Lord Redesdale), she left her first husband Bryan Guinness to unite her
|
|
destiny with Sir Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists. The
|
|
uncompromising temperament of the Mitfords, combined with Mosley's rebarbative
|
|
politics, involved renouncing the social life of which she had previously been
|
|
a leading ornament.
|
|
|
|
Three of Diana Mosley's sisters would follow her in forswearing England for a
|
|
mixture of a man and ideology. Nancy, her eldest sister, found in Gaston
|
|
Palewski the personification of her drooling Francophilia. Unity became
|
|
enamoured of Hitler and shot herself at the outbreak of the war. Jessica
|
|
became a Communist and married an American of that persuasion.
|
|
|
|
In Diana Mosley's memory, Sir Oswald was a figure of unequalled glamour. "He
|
|
had every gift, being handsome, generous, intelligent, and full of wonderful
|
|
gaiety and _joie de vivre_. Of course I fell in love with him . . . and I have
|
|
never regretted the step I took then."
|
|
|
|
She left Bryan Guinness in 1932, just as Mosley was forming the British Union
|
|
of Fascists. To the horror of her family and friends - her father forbade her
|
|
younger sisters to see her again - she set up house with her two small sons in
|
|
Eaton Square, and placed herself at the Leader's disposal.
|
|
|
|
Yet it was for an uncertain future that she had cast herself away. Mosley's
|
|
first wife Cimmie, Lord Curzon's daughter, was still alive; and Mosley showed
|
|
no disposition to leave her. "I never dreamed of marrying him," Diana
|
|
remembered.
|
|
|
|
It was as though the fairy princess had been carried off by the demon king. As
|
|
Diana Guinness, she had been a leader of a set which included Augustus John,
|
|
the Sitwells, Henry Yorke, Evelyn Waugh, Roy Harrod and Robert Byron. Lytton
|
|
Strachey paid her court.
|
|
|
|
Her photograph regularly stared from the covers of the society weeklies; her
|
|
portrait was painted again and again. The face always seemed to come out the
|
|
same - large, calm, and staring vacantly into space. "She was getting like
|
|
that in real life too," her sister Jessica acidly observed.
|
|
|
|
The death of Cimmie Mosley from peritonitis in May 1933 made possible a
|
|
lifetime commitment to the Leader of the Blackshirts, which she would honour
|
|
through every adversity. At first, it seemed that she might keep him within
|
|
the bounds of respectability. "The Leader is so clever and in his way so
|
|
civilised and English," she explained to Roy Harrod in 1933, "that [his
|
|
Blackshirts] could not be comparable to the German movement. But if everyone
|
|
of sensibility, charm and intelligence shuns him, there is definitely a danger
|
|
that he will come to regard those virtues as vicious and the possessors of
|
|
them as enemies."
|
|
|
|
But that same year, on the invitation of Hitler's stooge Putzi Hansfstaengl,
|
|
Diana Guinness visited Nazi Germany. For her sister Unity, who accompanied
|
|
her, the holiday was the beginning of an obsession that would destroy her
|
|
life. Diana was also deeply impressed, and ever afterwards disposed to ignore
|
|
what she heard of anti-semitism and concentration camps.
|
|
|
|
Unity Mitford finally succeeded in making Hitler's acquaintance in January
|
|
1935, and in March proudly introduced him to her sister. Diana Guinness, in
|
|
the full flower of her beauty, made a considerable impression; she herself was
|
|
dazzled. "His eyes were dark blue," Diana rhapsodised about Hitler, "his skin
|
|
was fair and his brown hair exceptionally fine. In certain moods he could be
|
|
very funny. He was extremely polite towards women. He was the most
|
|
unselfconscious politician I have ever come across. He never sought to
|
|
impress, he never bothered to act a part. If he felt morose, he was morose. If
|
|
he was in high spirits he talked brilliantly."
|
|
|
|
Later in 1935 Irene Ravensdale, sister of Mosley's first wife, found the
|
|
picture of Hitler in Diana Guinness's house at Wootton, in Staffordshire,
|
|
"particularly painful". Certainly, Diana's partiality for the Fuhrer quite
|
|
outran that of Mosley, who later in life would refer to Hitler as "a terrible
|
|
little man".
|
|
|
|
On October 6 1936, two days after the Blackshirts' humiliating withdrawal from
|
|
Cable Street, Diana secretly married Mosley in Berlin - a wedding arranged
|
|
under the auspices of Dr Goebbels, whose wife Magda was a friend of Diana's.
|
|
Hitler came to dinner after the wedding, presenting a picture of himself in an
|
|
eagle-topped silver frame. Afterwards, the newly-weds had a fierce quarrel:
|
|
"We went to bed in dudgeon."
|
|
|
|
Diana Mosley continued to visit Germany frequently, being involved in
|
|
negotiations to set up an independent radio station to broadcast to Britain
|
|
from Heligoland; Mosley hoped that this scheme would finance his movement. She
|
|
had several private late-night meetings with Hitler in the Chancellery, and he
|
|
invited her to Bayreuth.
|
|
|
|
Mosley, meanwhile, took the line that Britain should stay out of any conflict
|
|
with Germany, in order to preserve the Empire by leaving Hitler a free hand in
|
|
Europe. As Hitler swept through France in May 1940 Mosley was arrested and
|
|
imprisoned in Brixton under Defence Regulation 18b, which empowered the Home
|
|
Secretary to detain in prison "any particular person if satisfied that it is
|
|
necessary to do so".
|
|
|
|
In fact, Mosley had frequently declared he would fight for his country in the
|
|
event of an invasion. But there were many politicians, particularly in the
|
|
Labour Party, who had scores to pay off. By this time the Mosleys were such
|
|
pariahs that when Diana gave birth to their youngest son in April 1940 many
|
|
Britons were inspired to write that they were coming to pour vitriol over her
|
|
babies.
|
|
|
|
The Mitfords were cousins of Clementine Churchill, the Prime Minister's wife,
|
|
and as a girl Diana Mosley used to stay with the Churchills at Chartwell. This
|
|
did not prevent her imprisonment in Holloway at the end of June 1940.
|
|
|
|
The conditions under which Diana was imprisoned were ghastly, but she was
|
|
never one to sue for mercy. Interviewed by a Home Office Advisory Committee
|
|
under Lord Birkett in 1940, she put her worst foot forward. She admitted that
|
|
she would like to replace the British political system with the German one
|
|
"because we think it has done well for that country". Did she approve of the
|
|
Nazi policies against Jews? "Up to point," she declared. "I am not fond of
|
|
Jews."
|
|
|
|
When her lawyer asked if she knew anyone in the government who might help, she
|
|
gave further hostages to fortune. "Know anyone in the government?" she cried.
|
|
"I know all the Tories beginning with Churchill. The whole lot deserve to be
|
|
shot." This was reported to Churchill, who was not amused.
|
|
|
|
Not until December 1941, after the intervention of Diana's brother Tom with
|
|
the Prime Minister, was Mosley allowed to join her in married quarters at
|
|
Holloway. After two more years, in November 1943, they were both released on
|
|
grounds of Mosley's health, and placed under house arrest until the end of the
|
|
war.
|
|
|
|
Evelyn Waugh, who encountered Diana Mosley when she was just out of prison,
|
|
told his daughter that he was shocked to observe that his friend was wearing a
|
|
swastika diamond brooch. But then the Mitfords had been brought up to pay
|
|
scant attention to the opinion of others.
|
|
|
|
Diana Freeman-Mitford was born on June 17 1910 into a family which her sister
|
|
Nancy would immortalise in _Love in a Cold Climate_. Their parents, Lord and
|
|
Lady Redesdale, featured as Uncle Matthew and Aunt Sadie. The family first
|
|
came to prominence in the 18th century, when John Mitford was Speaker of the
|
|
House of Commons and (as Lord Redesdale) Lord Chancellor of Ireland. His son
|
|
was raised to an earldom in 1877, but nine years later both titles became
|
|
extinct.
|
|
|
|
The Redesdale title would be revived for a cousin, Bertie (pronounced "Barty")
|
|
Mitford, whose great-grandfather was William Mitford, celebrated as the author
|
|
of _The History of Greece_. Bertie's second son, David, Diana's father,
|
|
married Sydney, daughter of "Tap" Bowles, the founder of _Vanity Fair_ and
|
|
_The Lady_. Their only boy, Tom, was killed in Burma in 1944. Of the more
|
|
orthodox daughters, the second, Pamela, married Professor Derek Jackson; and
|
|
Debo, the sixth, is the present Duchess of Devonshire.
|
|
|
|
Diana remembered her father with a great deal more affection than Nancy or
|
|
Jessica did. "Not only did he make us scream with laughter at his lovely
|
|
jokes," she wrote, "but he was very affectionate. Certainly he had a quick
|
|
temper, and would often rage, but we were never punished."
|
|
|
|
In 1919 Lord Redesdale sold the house his father had built at Batsford,
|
|
Gloucestershire, and moved to Astall Manor in Oxfordshire. The children loved
|
|
it, and Diana, "in a supreme effort to make money", kept chickens, pigs and
|
|
calves. A succession of governesses - Diana thought 15 - abandoned the attempt
|
|
to instil some education. Nevertheless, Diana read avidly, and though regarded
|
|
as soft-hearted by her sisters imbibed her share of the family's tough style.
|
|
"Do try to hang on this time, darling," Jessica remembered her saying when
|
|
riding. "You know how cross Muv will be if you break your arm again."
|
|
|
|
The idyll at Astall did not last; after six years Lord Redesdale decided to
|
|
build a new house on the hill above Swinbrook. It turned out to be a
|
|
monstrosity, but for the children there was the compensation that he also
|
|
bought a large house in London, at 26 Rutland Gate. In 1926 Diana was sent to
|
|
stay in Paris, where she attended a day school and in six months learnt more
|
|
than she had during six years in England.
|
|
|
|
Evelyn Waugh thought that her beauty "ran through the room like a peal of
|
|
bells". Jim Lees-Milne, who was a friend of Tom Mitford's at Eton, remembered
|
|
her as "the most divine adolescent I ever beheld: a goddess, more immaculate,
|
|
more perfect, more celestial than Botticelli's sea-borne Venus". In 1928 this
|
|
vision came to the attention of Bryan Guinness, and within weeks they were
|
|
engaged.
|
|
|
|
Lady Redesdale objected strenuously to her prospective son-in-law on the
|
|
grounds that he was "so frightfully rich". Nancy Mitford thought he was
|
|
perfectly all right, but could not imagine why her sister should want to marry
|
|
him. Eventually, though, consent was granted, and the wedding took place on
|
|
January 30 1929.
|
|
|
|
Apart from her two sons, the most notable achievement of Diana Guinness's
|
|
first marriage was a spoof exhibition of the works of a mythical artist called
|
|
Bruno Hat. Brian Howard produced most of the paintings; Evelyn Waugh wrote the
|
|
catalogue and Tom Mitford impersonated Hat.
|
|
|
|
At Biddesdon, their country house near Andover, Diana was able for the first
|
|
time to employ her talent for interior decoration. At the end of her life she
|
|
expressed gratitude for having lived in three beautiful houses: Biddesdon,
|
|
Wootton and, from 1950, the pretentiously entitled (though not by the Mosleys)
|
|
Temple de la Gloire on the outskirts of Paris; the house was known to their
|
|
foes as "The Concentration of Camp".
|
|
|
|
After the Second World War, the Mosleys lived on a farm at Crowood, near
|
|
Ramsbury in Wiltshire. Though largely ignored by the local residents, they
|
|
appeared content in their self-sufficiency; whatever else might be said about
|
|
them, no one could deny the success of their marriage.
|
|
|
|
In 1951 Mosley, now obsessed with the ideal of creating a united Europe,
|
|
decided to leave England and divide his time between the Temple de la Gloire
|
|
and a house he had bought in Galway. "You don't clear up a dungheap from
|
|
underneath it," he commented of his decision to leave England.
|
|
|
|
In France, Diana Mosley edited _The European_, a magazine that boasted
|
|
contributions from Ezra Pound, Henry Williamson and Roy Campbell. She herself
|
|
contributed reviews and comment, showing a sharpness that would not have
|
|
shamed her sister Nancy.
|
|
|
|
Her loyalty to Mosley remained absolute, though she did venture to suggest,
|
|
when he stood for North Kensington in 1959, that the use by his supporters of
|
|
such terms as "fuzzy wuzzies" was not likely to bolster his credentials as a
|
|
serious politician. In Paris, the Mosleys discovered that they had much in
|
|
common with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and in 1980 Diana published a
|
|
book on the Duchess.
|
|
|
|
If Diana Mosley never enjoyed the literary success of her sister Nancy, she
|
|
was undoubtedly happier. Thrusting aside all remembrance of Nancy's betrayal
|
|
of her during the war, Diana proved the main consolation in her sister's
|
|
painful and protracted final illness, which ended in 1973. But she never made
|
|
her peace with Jessica, who had declared at the end of the war that the
|
|
Mosleys should be thrown back into prison. "She's a rather boring person
|
|
really," Diana concluded.
|
|
|
|
Sir Oswald Mosley died in 1980, and a year later Diana Mosley suffered from a
|
|
brain tumour. It turned out to be benign and was operated upon successfully.
|
|
While convalescing she was visited by Lord Longford. "Of course, he thinks I'm
|
|
Myra Hindley," Diana remarked.
|
|
|
|
Although her book of memoirs, _A Life of Contrasts_ (1977), was deliberately
|
|
provocative, most of those who met her found her a delightful companion, while
|
|
to her sisters' children she was Aunt Honks. On one subject, however, she
|
|
remained incorrigible.
|
|
|
|
"They will go on persecuting me until I say Hitler was ghastly," she
|
|
acknowledged. "Well, what's the point in saying that? We all know he was a
|
|
monster, that he was very cruel and did terrible things. But that doesn't
|
|
alter the fact that he was obviously an interesting figure. It was fascinating
|
|
for me, at 24, to sit and talk with him, to ask him questions and get answers,
|
|
even if they weren't true ones. No torture on earth would get me to say
|
|
anything different."
|
|
|
|
"I was very fond of him," she admitted in an interview in 2000. "Very, very
|
|
fond."
|
|
|
|
Of her sons from her first marriage, the elder, Jonathan, is the 3rd Lord
|
|
Moyne, while the younger, Desmond, founded the Irish Georgian Society. There
|
|
were two sons from her second marriage; the younger, Max, is President of the
|
|
Federation Internationale de l'Automobile.
