“So much of the charm of life depends on chance encounter, on novelty, on odd association, and however much one thinks ‘I will read, exercise, write, think, sleep, concentrate, eat more fruit, learn the harp,’ one is forfeiting absolute nourishment, and perhaps avoiding the ultimate necessity to love, laugh and perhaps suffer.”

Though one of her closest friends was international society's Lady Diana Cooper, Iris Tree was very much the Bohemian. Tree, however, shared a granddaughter with the Guinness heiress Maureen, Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, a devoted royalist and one of the Queen Mother's best friends. Who is this granddaughter?
HINT: The granddaughter in question was in her thirties before she learned she was part Tree.
The answer is after the JUMP.
