Hazel Bellamy

Hazel Patricia Bellamy (née Forrest; circa 1883–1918), is a fictional character in the British television series, Upstairs, Downstairs.

On 15 April 1912 Richard hires Hazel Forrest to type the biography of his father-in-law, the old Earl of Southwold, which he is writing.

She is a middle class young woman who has been earning a living as a secretary for ten years, against her parents' wishes.

This leads Hazel's father, Arthur Forrest, to visit James and reveal the family secret.

This, in addition to Major Cochrane-Danby claiming that James and Diana are sleeping together, leads Hazel to flee Somerby with Rose.

Hazel befriends a shy, young airman called Jack Dyson, who, like her, has risen from the middle class.

In the episode The Glorious Dead Rose gets a letter from Captain Peter Graham, Gregory's company commander telling her that her fiancé has been killed.

Dr Foley arrives, examines her and tells Hazel that she has caught the Spanish flu that is currently a pandemic.

The funeral is held on 11 November, the day the war ends, at St Mark's Church in Wimbledon.
