Person
Diana Dennis, a vicar's daughter, was born in Brentwood in 1936 and grew up in Essex, Herefordshire, and Buckinghamshire before training as a nurse and then as an air-hostess. In the 1960s she married Hong Kong-based British lawyer, Dick Dennis, and she lived with him in Hong Kong, Kent, and Mayfair. After having three sons, she returned to studies and became a Jungian psychologist. She has spent many years living in Mayfair, where she is involved with the Church and politics. In 2015, she published her first book, All I Ever Wanted, which explored the mysteries surrounding the life of her late husband Dick.
