MISTRESS DAISY FELLOWES - DUFF COOPER

Daisy Fellowes, was a Princess, as widow of Prince de Broglie, and an heiress to the singer sewing machine fortune.  (See my posts on dancer Isadora Duncan who was the Mistress of Paris Singer, another heir!) She was rich herself. It's said she had lovers in the hundreds.  Was she "a nympho"  (It's been a long time since I heard that term applied to anyone!)  What else about Daisy?  She was stick thin and had a nose job.  She liked vodka, cocaine, and opium.  And if you read the book "20th Century Jewelry, the Icons of Style, that I reviewed 5/26/18, you'll see pictures of Daisy and her jewelry.

As a Mistress, she is known to have been kept by Duff Cooper.

The reference for this post is from the book by Mary Lovell, The Riviera Set.
