Unveil the enthralling saga of Lady Diana Cooper, a woman who transcended the confines of aristocracy to etch an indelible mark on history through courage, resilience, and defiance. Born into the opulent yet restrictive world of the British nobility in 1892, Diana Manners' life unfolded like a novel, filled with whispered scandals, unrequited loves, and a relentless pursuit of personal freedom.
From the grand halls of Belvoir Castle to the harrowing wards of wartime hospitals, Diana's journey was anything but ordinary. Witness her transformation from a mischievous debutante to a valiant World War I nurse, challenging the era's conventions and her family's expectations. Her storied romances, including her profound yet turbulent relationship with Duff Cooper, and her ventures into the bohemian art circles and the glittering theatres of London and Hollywood, paint a portrait of a woman constantly ahead of her time.
Delve into her controversial forays into acting, where she faced both acclaim and scorn, her influential role as a political spouse, and her later years, where she battled personal tragedies and remained a beloved, iconic figure. Lady Diana's life was a testament to the power of enduring grace and fortitude in the face of societal challenges and personal adversities.
Join us as we explore the life of Lady Diana Cooper, a beacon of modernity and a pioneer for women in the 20th century. Her legacy continues to inspire those who dare to break barriers and redefine their destinies.

During an attempted edit. I accidentally deleted several comments without having read them. Sorry, please leave your comment again. I appreciate it. Sorry for the mispronunciation on Belvoir Castle, and thank you to those who pointed it out. Who would you like to see next ?
Arabella Huntington, a video on her should be very interesting
@@liz.j6822 Thank you. I will put her on the list. I am never sure exactly when I will be inspired to go heavy into the research; she is such an interesting person and will go well with Peggy Guggenheim.
Grace Kelly
I would like: Huguette Clark the Colorado Heiress.
@@geraldinekelly8447 I absolutely will cover her in future. Probably not till the end of the year though.
I have almost fgot through all of your docos and honestly although I am 55 I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about these past women and just how much they strived to change the world and their views. You have a gift for doing these short docos and I so hope to see many many more thankyou
I continue to enjoy hearing of these extraordinary women of whom I know little to nothing about.
Thank you.
After each of your videos I am left thinking over and over again "God, I love these women!"
Thank you. I love them too. (most of them) 🤗
I am spellbound watching and learning about these absolutely strong women and how much they gave us to change everything they stood for. This lady has a great way of telling each story in such a kind way especially Amy Winehouse. Not any other thing Ive watched on her was ever focused on her attributes and was never done with such kindness
Same!!!!
First of all I love your clear and pleasant voice. The moment you start to speak, you have me hooked to the story that will follow. What an incredible woman Diana Cooper; she lived the life she was happy with. A very caring woman and beautiful. I cringed at the "war segment" but she learned and went along. She loved Duffy she loved the theater, unlike many that cannot have both worlds, Diana found the time. I thought maybe Duffy just used her, but in the end, I concluded; they were made for each other 💘💘💘 Loved it ❤
Yes, despite his philandering as you say, they seemed one of the happiest couples in that period. I am doing a video on Mrs. Sweeney at the moment, and it is almost the opposite. Heartbreaking.
I really enjoy your work. The way you present the biographies is clean and concise and covers the highlights and achievements in a way that dignifies your subjects without denying their human frailties and failings. It makes me realize we all have a life story, but every life is complex and can never be fully understood. I think you have a real gift and hope you keep producing these well done bios! 👍 👏
Thank you so much, it is great to read such kind words. It is a pleasure to be able to tell these people's stories; and a great compliment that you feel I do it fairly.
What happen to her son? You are great in your beautiful narrations.
Her son became a great historian. Appeared on several television programs and wrote some truly amazing books on history. Sadly, he passed away in 2018.
Thank you very much for an interesting story on Diane Cooper, you spoke at a modérate pace, your voice is nice to listen to also
Thanks so much; Diana was great, and her son became a famous historian and wrote several amazing books.
I love this story and bringing Diana to life. I really enjoy the narratives voice and the way the story is told. Thank God for strong women like Diana and the example they continue to be! Thank you!!
Thank you
Ahhh so nice to hear her story again Thankyou. I lived opposite her in little V3nice in the late 70s. And in the 80 s her son John julius Norwich was a wonderful author and speaker 🙏💐
Great writer too, I love his books. Did I miss anything in the story? I could have done a long video on her, but people seem to like the shorter ones.
It was really lovely and so many pix of her too ,beautiful, she had a handful with Duff !!! Yes his volumes on Byzantium were amazing and his lectures were really phenomenal I enjoy your videos very much thankyou . I’ll watch Josephine later she had such an amazing life didn’t she. Can’t wait to find out the couple then I will kick myself 😂
Lady Cooper was enchanting from the sound of things. I don't remember her passing but she seemed like a person who was way ahead of her time ❤
❤ this channel! 🏆
Once again. Thank you for this pleasant and interesting story. I loved it. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MythicMindScape21 Enjoyed immensely. Thank you.
Although I love to drift off to sleep to your wonderful bios/stories OR frustratingly stay awake minute by dread filled minute due to insomnia.......
I'd like you to know I start them right over when I finally wake for my morning hike with 🐺 then breakfast and finally off to do a bit of work or gardening. 😊 Always look forward to the next installment. Thank you so much, you have a gift and a perfect voice for this genre!! 😊
Hope you will like today's; and more importantly that you have a calm and restful night 🙏 💕
Great story. She was way ahead of her time. She was liberated.
What a wonderful woman! Role model material. Thank you for this inspiring video.
You are so welcome!
Great voice and beautiful, clear English! Thank you.
Thank you
Great informative & you deliver with warmth & compassion. I enjoy your videos, I rarely comment I agree with the other comments I like.
Thank you.
I am adoring watching this channel 😻
Thank you
I had never heard of her before! Thank you for sharing the story of this incredible woman! Great writing and narration, too. Thank you :)
Thanks for listening
Wonderful story of a life well lived! ❤
Yes. I often think of her and her contemporaries Nancy Cunard , Edwina , and Margaret Sweeney and look at the course she navigated. Her mother genuinely wanted her to marry the prince of Wales, and she had a chance really. But she had zero interest in him. She was always her own person. I deeply admire her
What a cool lady, with her looks and charm she could have easily just gone along with a socialite’s life but instead chose an active, varied, and dutiful path. Stunning, talented, and able. Again, you’ve selected an outstanding woman to highlight…thank you
Thank you so much.
I wonder if she ever delivered on that clog dance?!
@@SharynPrevost 😂😂Me too. Sadly, there is no record or footage of her actually doing it.
Another great video!
Thank you.
i love stories of strong independent women💕 thank you
So eloquently presented, such a vibrant life and legacy..
Thank you.
I loved your presentation of the story ,your voice is soothing and well suited to narration , it is such a colourful story of a vibrant woman of her time I wonder how society ladies seemed to sail close to drug and alcohol use but mange to avoid addiction , I imagine it is wealth and connections that act as a safety net . To the destructive effects or pehaps there is more to the story . I enjoyed watching and I hope to watch more of the collection many thanks .
Thank you, this week will be a different royal, bur in a few weeks we will look at one of Diana's Cooper's contemporaries, the Duchess of Argyle; who went a very different route. Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you! This was amazing!!
Glad you liked it.
I thought the name of her son sounded familiar. John Julius Norwich was a historian who wrote books about the Byzantine Empire, Venice, and Norman Sicily. He also worked in TV and radio.
Thankyou. Love your narrating 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Few people can narrate you are very very good.
I 👍 agree ❤❤
Clear voice that tells such a story of lives lived by these interesting women.
Thank you~
For time well spent..
👍👏😏🎁🙏
Thank you. Though my pronunciation is at times not perfect. ❤ So thanks for the words.
A wonderful story.
An exceptional woman exceptionally well told by our hostess Viscountess MythicMindScape of Elsinore!! I fell like such a coward in comparison to Lady Diana, and she inspires me to stand taller. I am in the sunset of my life but it is never too late to learn a thing or two.
😂 Thank you for such kind words. I love telling these stories especially the longer more inspirational ones, or perhaps like this coming Saturday's video a woman who has a terrible reputation in modern times, though it is entirely unfounded. They inspire me too.
@@MythicMindScape21 Ooooog!! (sound of excitement coined by my dear dad)
Pouring hot wax on wounds, poor kids!
Lovely x❤
...nice to hear the womans' view...
What a beautiful interesting story.. thank you for this amazing video 🙏🏼💖✨
Glad you liked it:)
LoveLady Diana Manners. Great Video, you do great work. Can't wait for Margaret the Duchess of Argyle :)
Very soon!
@MythicMindScape21 Oh, yes, please! 😊 👍🏽
Surprisingly riveting. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The English pronounce the name Belvoir Castle "Beaver Castle." Who knew?
Such a wonderful video! New subscriber from Texas 🤠👍🏻
Thank you and welcome.
Thank you again ❤😊
Beever Castle, not Belvoir, I believe.
Great work 🎉
Thank you
Oh my holy sole, she was so beautiful
She was amazing.
I don't think duff walked her side of the road.
But these icons lived brave and amazing lives ❤
Belvoir castle is pronounced Beaver castle. Makes no sense but that the English language! Love your videos.
Thanks for the correction.
Quite beautiful ... her choices made with desire to Live Life, rather than follow social ideologies.
❤❤❤❤
What is " rare herbs disease"?
Erb's palsy typically results from damage to the brachial plexus nerves, which can cause weakness or paralysis in the arm. Lady Diana's bout with this condition was quite severe and left her close to death at one point when she was around ten years old
@@MythicMindScape21 Thanks - I did wonder what it was also.
@@MythicMindScape21 Thank you. It's frustrating not to be able to find something because the closed captioning spelled it incorrectly.
I understand, I am simply too lazy to write the captions for the videos. It would take an eternity.
Was she related to Diana Spencer? I see the physical and personality similarities
Very distantly ; Both Diana Manners and Diana Spencer are descendants of the Cavendish family, making them distant cousins through this lineage.
Isn't it pronounced "Bee-ver/vor" castle? "Not Bel-voir" though it is written so?
Please read pinned comment. Thank you. Sorry for the mispronunciation.
Yes. It is actually pronounced like beaver. We English are odd😂😂
It is Belvoir -(Beautiful).. the Duke & Duchess of Rutland found many people found that difficult to pronounce so the pronunciation of it to make things easier beevor was settled on
I see where Downton Abby got their stories from
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Belvoir castle is pronounced Beever .
I know :) Check my pinned comment. Sorry. We are always learning. Hope the mistake didn't take away from your enjoyment. I make pronunciation mistakes a lot, wait till you hear my story of some girls in the Netherlands, who worked for the underground during world war 2. I will keep trying to get better.
@@MythicMindScape21 it’s a learning curve for us all , if I pronounced something incorrectly, I would rather be told . Great video .
What l respect most about her is that even though her husband a chronic philanderer, she kept it clean.
What on earth did she see in him??
@@pamelacorbett8774 l can't see it either. Maybe you just had to be there.
What is the reason that some selected BRITISH Women become a worldwide sensation? I think about Kate Moss and Twiggy, Lady Diana and Elizabeth Taylor , Pamela Churchill and Diana Cooper. Those are just few but there are others: What's all the fuss about?
Is she a relative of the late Pandora cooper key
Belvoir Castle is pronounced as "Beever Castle"
❤
👏✌️
She reminds me of Juice Newton
You use good vocabulary.
I have yet to meet a Diana that is not beautiful
Sorry to be a pedant but Belvoir is pronounced beaver.
Beautiful? More average.
I think we are talking about in her day. There were different standards of beauty at that time.
Amazing woman, Very sad ending.
Yes indeed. I will be releasing a video on Saturday about one of her contemporaries , the woman Duff perhaps wanted to leave her for. Though the woman was not in love with Duff. ...On the positive side Diana And Duff's son grew up to be a lecturer and a great historian.
I truly enjoy your videos…. I learn a lot🫶🏾
Thank you so much, they are so much fun to write.
What is “rare herbs disease”?
Erb's palsy, also known as Erb-Duchenne palsy, is a form of brachial plexus palsy. It typically results from an injury to the upper nerves of the brachial plexus, which are responsible for the movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. This condition often occurs during childbirth if the baby's neck is stretched to the side.
The effects of Erb's palsy can vary but may include:
Weakness or paralysis in the arm
Reduced or absent reflexes in the arm
Loss of sensation in the arm
