Lady Eugene was no pushover. With double degrees in literature and arts, this highly educated lady was far from the obedient type. Art had endowed her with a free and wild spirit while literature fueled her whimsical actions. During her time in Europe, she was a granddaughter who often gave Queen Elizabeth headaches, repeatedly making surprising moves that embarrassed the royal family yet left them powerless, becoming a regular feature in European tabloid gossip.
At one party, the lady brought along a female friend to attend, and after drinks had flowed, this friend cleverly bypassed the security system and nearly succeeded in stealing the Heart of Africa diamond displayed in Buckingham Palace.
It later came to light that this 'friend' she had met in a nightclub was in fact an international thief who had purposely approached Lady Eugene with the intent of stealing the diamond, quickly becoming her 'close girlfriend.'
