Editing Kim Philby (section)

==Personal life==
In February 1934, Philby married Litzi Friedmann, an Austrian Jewish communist whom he had met in Vienna. They subsequently moved to Britain; however, as Philby assumed the role of a fascist sympathiser, they separated. Litzi lived in [[Paris]] before returning to London for the duration of the war; she ultimately settled in [[East Germany]].{{sfn|Seale|McConnville|1973|p= 84}}

While working as a correspondent in Spain, Philby began an affair with [[Frances Doble]], Lady Lindsay-Hogg, an actress and aristocratic divorcée who was an admirer of Franco and Hitler. They travelled together in Spain through August 1939.{{sfn|Seale|McConnville|1973|p= 93}}

In 1940, Philby began living with Aileen Furse in London. Their first three children, Josephine, John and Tommy, were born between 1941 and 1944. In 1946, Philby arranged a [[divorce]] from Litzi. He and Aileen were married on 25 September 1946, while Aileen was [[pregnant]] with their fourth child, Miranda. Their fifth child, Harry George, was born in 1950.{{sfn|Seale|McConnville|1973|p= 173}} Aileen suffered from psychiatric problems, which grew more severe during the period of poverty and suspicion following the flight of Burgess and Maclean. She lived separately from Philby, settling with their children in [[Crowborough]] while he lived first in London and later in Beirut. Weakened by alcoholism and frequent illness, she died of [[influenza]] in December 1957.{{sfn|Seale|McConnville|1973|p= 226}} Through his son John, Philby's granddaughter is the author Charlotte Philby.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/my-grandfather-the-russian-spy-1764026.html | title=My grandfather, the Russian spy | work=The Independent }}</ref>
