Elizabeth Kenward MBE (née Kemp-Welch; 1906–2001) was an English magazine columnist, known for writing "Jennifer's Diary", originally in Tatler, subsequently in Queen.
[1][2][3] She was born on 14 July 1906, the daughter of Brian Charles Durant Kemp-Welch[4] of Kineton, Warwickshire, England, and was educated by a governess, and at a finishing school at Les Tourelles, Brussels, Belgium.
She married Captain Peter Trayton Kenward[6] of the 14th/20th King's Hussars, employed in his family's brewing business,[7] at St Margaret's, Westminster, in 1932,[1] and adopted his name.
[1] Captain Kenward remarried, to Patricia (1918–1957), daughter of Bolton Meredith Eyres-Monsell, 1st Viscount Monsell, in 1947,[8][9] and in 1958 to Bridget Catherine Elizabeth Tucker (1928–2015).
[1] Her obituary in The Daily Telegraph described her as "insufferably snobbish and crotchety", recounting her ferocious treatment of her assistants (many of whom resigned in tears), her propensity for long-running feuds (including, particularly, with Margaret, Duchess of Argyll), and her persistent snubbing of Tatler's social editor, Peter Townend.
