Diana de Vere Beauclerk

Diana de Vere Beauclerk, Lady Huddleston (10 December 1842 – 1 April 1905) was an English writer.

[4] The night before the wedding ceremony, Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, who would conduct the service, wrote in his diary: "To All Saints', Knightsbridge, to marry Lady Di.

[6] Lady Diana was well known in Norwich and, together with her mother, worked for Huddleston in his successful campaign there in the Parliamentary election of 1874.

It was reviewed favourably by The Pall Mall Gazette, which characterized it as a straightforward narrative which did not attempt to function as a guidebook.

"[16] However, the Saturday Review called the novel "commonplace and dull", saying "the person who can write a pleasant book of travels is not always able to follow suit with a novel, and the kudos got by the one venture is not unfrequently lost in the other.
