    Noblesse oblige is a French phrase literally meaning "nobility obliges". The Dictionnaire de l’Académie française defines it thus: ⁕Whoever claims to be noble must conduct himself nobly. ⁕ One must act in a fashion that conforms to one's position, and with the reputation that one has earned. The Oxford English Dictionary says that the term "suggests noble ancestry constrains to honorable behavior; privilege entails to responsibility." Being a noble meant that one had responsibilities to lead, manage and so on. One was not to simply spend one's time in idle pursuits.

      If you only had known who the interviewer was... it was my film. I self funded it a 21 year of age before graduation from film school.. first year.. and had taken over a year to produce.
      My first go at it anyway. Excuse my father and his moment to be apart of the film.

    Now trying to set the record straight here is a short outline of the Mitfords:.
    - Nancy, the eldest, was a noted writer, both as a novelist and biographes. Commander of the Order of the British Empire, she was also made an Officer in the French Legion of Honour in 1972.
    - Jessica, a socialist, also became a well-known writer.
    -Thomas, the only son, was killed in action in Burna during WWII, in 1945.
    -Deborah married the Duke of Devonshire and became politically active when she and her hus

      Nancy was a socialist 1950s Labor Party voter. Jessica was a full in Communist and so far as I know she never really rejected Stalin. Diana was the great beauty of the sisters. She married a Guinness and was the brightest of the Bright Young People until she threw over that life to marry Mosley, a once promising young progressive Conservative who founded the British Union of Fascists and was not surprisingly treated as beyond the pale in UK. Deborah's husband unexpectedly inherited the dukedom. He was a fairly standard Tory who eventually moved to the center left SDP.

    - Diana for her part, married Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley. Mosley though a WWI decorated veteran is mostly renembered as the founder of the British Union of Fascists (later merged with the British Union of Fascists (Blackshirts) in 1932).
    Thru Unity, both Mosley and Diana had ties with the Nazis and were in fact married in 1933 at Goebbels' home. - He and Diana were interned during WWII from 1940-43 (like a good number of active fascist in England) held under house arrest for the remainer o

      She wasn't imprisoned because of ties with the Nazis. She was imprisoned because of opposing war.

    In fact, of the seven Mitford children, only Unity can be labelled a nazi and an outspoken antisemite. She was actually quite close to Hitler and was in Germany for many years in the 30's, up until the outbreak of the war, when she shot herself in the head, survived her wound, and was repatriated to England under Hitler's care and personal orders. She finally succombed a few years later (1948) when the bullet still lodged in her brain caused a massive infection.
