Subtitled, "The Intimate Life & Dauntless Spirit Of Lady Desborough". Born in 1867 and orphaned aged 3-years, Ettie was brought up by her adoring grandmother and uncles, and married when she was 20. She soon became a leading hostess, but there was a dark side, too: 2 sons were killed in WWI, while her youngest was killed shortly after. Her death in 1952 marked the end of an Edwardian era and icon.
