And just when you thought the Mitfords couldn't get any more outrageous, we turn the spotlight on the most dazzling—and polarizing—sister of them all: Diana Mitford! 💅
In this first episode, we're diving into the early years of the sister often called the "most beautiful of the six." Join us as we explore Diana’s unconventional upbringing, her education (or lack thereof), and one truly outrageous childhood anecdote involving a most unusual appendix operation.
Then, we transition from the Mitford manor to the world of high finance and stout. We introduce Diana's first husband, Bryan Guinness, and the legendary Guinness family - did anybody say House of Guinness?
Was their early marriage truly a match made in heaven? We peel back the layers on this iconic Anglo-Irish family, revealing some surprising facts about the Guinness brewing empire itself—and we'll tell you what the Klingons have to do with it!
This is the story of a stunning young socialite on the cusp of a truly tumultuous life, setting the stage for one of the most controversial family sagas in British history. Perfect for anyone who loves aristocratic scandal, hidden fortunes, and a fresh pint of unexpected history!
