Step into the audacious life of Frances Evelyn “Daisy” Greville, Countess of Warwick—also known as Frances Evelyn Maynard—a woman who scandalized society, seduced a prince, and transformed into a fiery advocate for socialism and women’s rights.

Born into immense wealth as Frances Evelyn Maynard, Daisy became the darling of Queen Victoria’s court, destined to marry royalty yet determined to defy every convention. As the mistress of the future King Edward VII, her passionate affair sent shockwaves through the aristocracy. But her story doesn’t end with scandal.

Daisy reinvented herself as “The Red Countess,” campaigning for socialism, women’s suffrage, and labor rights. From glittering ballrooms to fiery political speeches, she became a symbol of rebellion and reinvention. Despite financial ruin and personal heartbreak—including estrangement from her children and bold attempts to blackmail the monarchy—Daisy’s legacy remains as controversial as it is compelling.

Discover the untold story of Frances Evelyn Greville, a woman who lived on the edge of respectability, shattered the rules of her world, and left a legacy that continues to captivate and inspire.

  1. I hope everyone had a great holiday and you will enjoy the video. Please let me know your thoughts, remember your opinions and what you would like to see helps guide the channel. This really is our Channel, and i take a note of everyone you request. Sadly, to do such a deep dive takes a long time, if I were to do twenty minute videos i could do a lot more, but I think you enjoy these deep looks, so I continue with them, though I do apologize for being slow with them. Thanks for the comments, love and support.

  2. Umm no, the aristocracy is not crumbling or crumbled!!! It’s unfortunately alive and well!! They’ve just kicked everyone off their estates, but the taxpayers are STILL paying them government handouts in the form of grants and subsidies!!! Even the “royal” family is being paid untold MILLIONS to lease properties owned by them through the duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall!!! #EatTheRich !!!!

  3. Well done video beautifully presented, for me what does Daisy Warwick know about anything from her gilded cage , what did she know about a days work , what did she know about the lives of the poor and working man nothing , what about the care and love of her children, to her her causes were her hobby, she was vain plain and did not affect the royal family, she could talk the talk but not walk the walk !!!!😏

  5. None of these women are “beautiful “ I don’t know why you insist on saying so. It’s money not beauty why they are being noticed is bc they are now old enough to be married. They have money , we know it’s NOT beauty! Maybe the only one would be princess Margaret the queens sister. This is the only beauty , all others your not obligated to say all these ugly women are beautiful lmao! We can see and stop insulting our intelligence. Shhhheeesh!!

  8. Not your typical heiress. She questioned her own supposed superiority rather then simply accepting it as most people would do. She had an awareness that wasn't ordinary. An exceptional person from the beginning.
