Editing Diana Mosley (section)

==Post-war==
After the war ended, the couple kept homes in [[Ireland]], with apartments in London and Paris. Their recently renovated [[Clonfert]] home, a former Bishop's palace, burned down in an accidental fire. In her memoirs, Diana blamed her cook, writing that the fire could have been extinguished had it not been for the cook who ran back to her room to retrieve her possessions and in doing so delayed efforts to control the fire. Following this, they moved to a home near [[Fermoy]], [[County Cork]], later settling permanently in France, at the Temple de la Gloire, a Palladian temple in [[Orsay]], southwest of Paris, in 1950 (built in 1801 to honour the French victory of December 1800 at Hohenlinden, near Munich). Gaston and Bettina Bergery had told the Mosleys that the property was on the market. They were neighbours of the [[Edward VIII of the United Kingdom|Duke]] and [[Duchess of Windsor]], who lived in the neighbouring town [[Gif-sur-Yvette]], and soon became their close friends.

Once again they became known for entertaining, but were barred from all functions at the British Embassy.<ref name=fal/> During their time in France, the Mosleys quietly went through another marriage ceremony; Hitler had safeguarded their original marriage licence, and it was never found after the war. During this period, Mosley was unfaithful to Diana, but she found for the most part that she was able to learn to keep herself from getting too upset regarding his adulterous habits. She told an interviewer: "I think if you're going to mind infidelity, you better call it a day as far as marriage goes. Because who has ever remained faithful? I mean, they don't. There's passion and that's it."<ref name=fal/> Diana was also a lifelong supporter of the [[British Union of Fascists]] (BUF), and its postwar successor the [[Union Movement]].

At times, she was vague when discussing her loyalties to Britain, her strong belief in fascism, and her attitude to Jews. In her 1977 autobiography ''A Life of Contrasts'', she wrote, "I didn't love Hitler any more than I did Winston [Churchill]. I can't regret it, it was so interesting." In her final interviews with [[Duncan Fallowell]] in 2002, she responded that her reaction to the newsreels of death camps was "Well, of course, horror. Utter horror. Exactly the same probably as your reactions." However, when asked about having revulsion against Hitler for this, she said that "I had a complete revulsion against the people who did it but I could never efface from my memory the man I had actually experienced before the war. A very complicated feeling. I can't really relate those two things to each other. I know I'm not supposed to say that but I just have to."<ref name=fal/> At other times, however, she behaved so as to suggest intense anti-semitic attitudes; the journalist [[Paul Callan]] remembered mentioning that he was Jewish while interviewing her husband in Diana's presence. According to Callan, "I mentioned, just in the course of conversation, that I was Jewish—at which Lady Mosley went ashen, snapped a crimson nail and left the room ... No explanation was given but she would later write to a friend: 'A nice, polite reporter came to interview Tom [as Mosley was known] but he turned out to be Jewish and was sitting there at our table. They are a very clever race and come in all shapes and sizes.'"<ref name="express.co.uk"/> Diana offered to entertain her teenage half-Jewish nephew, Benjamin Treuhaft, on a trip to France. The offer was refused by Benjamin's mother, [[Jessica Mitford|Jessica]], who remained estranged from Diana over the latter's political past.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/obituary-jessica-mitford-1330361.html "Obituary: Jessica Mitford".] ''The Independent'', 25 July 1996.</ref> In a 2000 interview with ''[[The Guardian]]'', Diana said that "Maybe instead they [European Jews] could have gone somewhere like Uganda: very empty and a lovely climate"<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2000/nov/23/features11.g2 "'Maybe the Jews could have gone somewhere like Uganda: empty and a lovely climate'."] ''The Guardian''.

Her appearance on the [[BBC Radio 4]] programme ''[[Desert Island Discs]]'' with [[Sue Lawley]] in 1989 remains controversial due to Mosley's [[Holocaust denial]] and admiration of Hitler.<ref name="auto"/> Mosley told Lawley that she had not believed [[The Holocaust|the extermination of Jews by Nazi Germany]] until "years" after the war, and that she thought the [[Holocaust victims|official death figure of six million]] Jewish victims was too high.<ref>{{cite AV media |time-caption=Event occurs between |time=16:30 and 17:25 |url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/desert-island-discs/castaway/85ff774f#p009mdck |title=Desert Island Discs - Castaway: Lady Mosley |publisher=BBC |date=26 November 1989}}</ref> The broadcast of this episode had to be rescheduled several times because it kept coinciding with [[Jewish holidays]]<ref name=fal/> and prompted hundreds of complaints to the BBC.<ref>{{cite news |last=Roberts |first=Laura |title=Desert Island Discs' most controversial castaways |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8355867/Desert-Island-Discs-most-controversial-castaways.html |access-date=10 April 2022 |work=The Telegraph |date=2 March 2011}}</ref> In 2016, a writer at the BBC described it as the most controversial of all ''Desert Island Discs'' episodes.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/968bb28c-a708-4ef2-8019-0ef2dc11ed42 Desert Island Discs: 7 of the most shocking episodes] BBC. 1 August 2016</ref> Her choices of music to be played on Desert Island Discs were: [[Symphony No. 41 (Mozart)]], "Casta Diva" from ''[[Norma (opera)|Norma]]'' ([[Vincenzo Bellini|Bellini]]), [[Anthem of Europe|"Ode to Joy"]] ([[Beethoven]]), ''[[Die Walküre]]'' ([[Wagner]]), ''[[Liebestod]]'' (Wagner), "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle" from ''[[Carmen]]'' ([[Bizet]]), "[[A Whiter Shade of Pale]]" ([[Procol Harum]]) and [[Polonaise in F-sharp minor, Op. 44 (Chopin)|Polonaise in F-sharp minor]] ([[Chopin]]).<ref>{{cite AV media |time-caption=Event occurs between |time=01:00 and 05:20 |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/desert-island-discs/castaway/85ff774f#p009mdck |title=Desert Island Discs - Castaway: Lady Mosley |publisher=BBC |date=26 November 1989}}</ref>

After their early twenties, Diana and her sister Jessica only saw each other once, when they met for half an hour as their elder sister, Nancy, lay dying in [[Versailles]]. Diana said of Jessica in 1996: "I quite honestly don't mind what Decca [Jessica] says or thinks," adding that "She means absolutely nothing to me at all. Not because she's a Communist but simply because she's a rather boring person, really."<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/no-unity-for-the-mitfords-even-beyond-the-grave-1279119.html "No unity for the Mitfords - even beyond the grave."] ''The Independent'', 17 February 1997.</ref>

In 1998, due to her advancing age, she moved out of the Temple de la Gloire and into an apartment in the [[7th arrondissement of Paris]].<ref name=fal>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/focus-diana-mosley-the-last-bright-young-thing-100639.html "Focus: Diana Mosley – The last bright young thing"].

Throughout much of her life, particularly after her years in prison, she was afflicted by regular bouts of migraines. In 1981, she underwent successful surgery to remove a [[brain tumour]]. She convalesced at [[Chatsworth House]], the residence of her sister Deborah. In the early 1990s, she was also successfully treated for [[skin cancer]]. In later life, she also suffered from deafness.<ref name="Tele13Aug">{{cite news |last=Wilson |first=A.N. |author-link=A. N.
