==Family and early life==
Born Diana Ruth McConnel in Woolwich, she was the only daughter of Major-General Douglas McConnel, an instructor at the Royal Military Academy, and his wife Ruth Mary (née Garnett-Botfield).〔(Obituary for Diana, Duchess of Wellington ) at Confessions of a Ci-Devant〕 Her only brother died soon after birth, and she had no other siblings.〔(Obituary for the Duchess of Wellington ) in ''The Daily Telegraph''〕
She resolved not to marry a military man after living apart from her father, though she did live happily with her parents in India for two years. She was only seventeen, not yet finished school, when the Second World War broke out. She lived in Jerusalem when her father was stationed there. She worked as a secretary for the military in the King David Hotel and served often as her father's Aide-de-camp.〔
