The Kemp-Welch family were 'solid county Warwickshire stock'[5], appearing in Burke's Landed Gentry.[1] Her brother was the cricketer George Kemp-Welch who married the eldest daughter of Stanley Baldwin. She married Captain Peter Trayton Kenward[6] of the 14th/20th King's Hussars, employed in his family's brewing business,[7] at St Margaret's, Westminster, in 1932,[1] and adopted his name. They divorced in 1942, leaving her with a nine-year-old son.[1] To pay his fees at Winchester School, she worked as a dame (house matron) at Eton College.[1] Captain Kenward remarried, to Patricia (1918–1957), daughter of Bolton Meredith Eyres-Monsell, 1st Viscount Monsell, in 1947,[8][9] and in 1958 to Bridget Catherine Elizabeth Tucker (1928–2015).[10][11] Her Tatler column was originally called "On and Off Duty in Town and Country", becoming "Jennifer's Diary" in 1945.[1] She took it to Queen (later Harpers & Queen) in 1959.[1] She retired in 1991, when she was aged 84.[1] Her obituary in the Daily Telegraph described her as "insufferably snobbish and crotchety", recounting her ferocious treatment of her assistants (many of whom resigned in tears), her propensity for long-running feuds (including, particularly, with Margaret, Duchess of Argyll), and her persistent snubbing of Tatler{{'}}s social editor, Peter Townend.[1] She appeared as a "castaway" on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 14 December 1974.[12] She was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1986.[1] Her autobiography, Jennifer's Memoirs: Eighty-Five Years of Fun and Functions, was published in 1992.[13] She died on 24 January 2001 in London.[14] Bibliography
