Joan Barbara Berry, Viscountess Camrose (née Yarde-Buller; 22 April 1908 – 25 April 1997), also known as Joan Guinness and Princess Taj-ud-dawlah Aga Khan, was an English socialite who was one of the Bright Young Things.[1]
Joan Barbara Yarde-Buller was born on 22 April 1908. She was the eldest of six children born to John Yarde-Buller, 3rd Baron Churston, the aide-de-camp to the Viceroy of India, and Denise Orme, a former music hall singer. Among her siblings were brother, Richard Yarde-Buller, who became the 4th Baron Churston; sister Lydia Yarde-Buller, who became the Duchess of Bedford (wife of Ian Russell, 13th Duke of Bedford); and Primrose Yarde-Buller, who became the Countess Cadogan (wife of William Cadogan, 7th Earl Cadogan). After her parents’ divorce in 1928, her mother married Danish diplomat Tito Wessel. They too divorced and Denise married Edward FitzGerald, 7th Duke of Leinster.[2]
Her father was the only son of John Yarde-Buller, 2nd Baron Churston, and Barbara Yelverton (the only child of Sir Hastings Yelverton and the 20th Baroness Grey de Ruthyn).[3]
