THE THREE D's : COURTESANS OF THE RIVIERA

Who were The Three D's, known mistresses on the Riviera?

Lady Diana Manners, was born the daughter of the Duchess of Rutland by her lover, rather than her husband.  She visited Maxine Elliot's villa in the 1930's.  Her son  John Julius Duff was a serial philanderer who had that affair with Daisy Fellowes.

Diana Guiness was married but living as the mistress of Tom Mosely.


And Daisy Fellowes herself.

Ah yes, The Riviera Set by Mary Lovell does DROP NAMES!  Not all of these liaisons are given detail but you get the idea that the aristocracy had a lot of players, male and female.
