Brigid Guinness and Kathleen ‘Kick’ Kennedy were born in 1920, five months apart. They grew up in very different versions of privilege. Brigid was the “old world” of the British aristocracy. Her father was Lord Iveagh; Brigid was his youngest child. She was raised in the stuffy world of country house estates and London society. Kick, though, was daughter of Joe Kennedy, one of America’s richest men, and had far more freedom and informality: summers in Hyannis Port wearing cut-off jeans and t-shirts, sailing boats in competition with brothers Joe Jnr and Jack (the future US president), and gathering friends to watch films in the family’s screening room.
