Lady Curzon was the daughter of George Curzon, Viceroy of India. Her connections with the British Royal Family gave her insight into their doings, including the Edward VIII's relationship and marriage to Wallis Simpson and the abdication crisis. She and her sisters - Alexandra and Cynthia, the latter the wife of British facist leader Sir Oswlad Mosley - were immortalised as the Curzon Sisters in Anna de Courcy's The Viceroy's Daughters: The Lifes of the Curzon Sisters.
