Violet Trefusis
Violet Trefusis, née Violet Keppel (1894–1972) was an English writer, best known for her affair with Vita Sackville-West.
Officially Violet's father was Hon George Keppel, a son of the 7th Earl of Albemarle, but it is thought that her real father was William Beckett, subsequently 2nd Baron Grimthorpe, a banker and MP for Whitby.[1] Violet's mother, Alice Keppel, was the mistress of the Prince of Wales, subsequently King Edward VII, from 1898 until the King's death in 1910.
