Lady Mosley passed away on 11 August 2003. She was 93 years old. She was born the Hon. Diana Mitford, the fourth of seven children, several of whom became famous. The eldest child was the Hon. Nancy Mitford (1904-1973), the novelist and one of Evelyn Waugh's most faithful correspondents. Diana married the Hon. Bryan Guinness (later Lord Moyne) in 1929. When his marriage broke up that summer, Waugh found a companion in Diana, who had become pregnant. Waugh dedicated his second novel, Vile Bodies, and his first travel book, Labels, to Bryan and Diana Guinness, and he acknowledged their "encouragement and hospitality." Diana divorced Bryan in 1934 and married Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, in 1936. After the outbreak of war with Germany in 1939, Sir Oswald and Lady Mosley were imprisoned. She and Waugh had drifted apart, but Waugh drew on his memory of her pregnancy in his description of Lucy Simmonds in Work Suspended. Waugh sent a copy of the unfinished novel to Diana in prison. As she worked on her memoirs, A Life of Contrasts (1977), Lady Mosley asked Waugh why their friendship had "petered out." Waugh admitted to having felt "pure jealousy." As Diana "began to enlarge [her] circle," Waugh "couldn't compete or take a humbler place" (Letters of Evelyn Waugh, 638). Lady Mosley is survived by her sister Deborah ("Debo"), the Duchess of Devonshire, and four sons, Jonathan and Desmond Guinness, and Alexander and Max Mosley. Jonathan Guinness, the present Lord Moyne, is Waugh's godson. For more details, please visit An Evelyn Waugh Website.
