Anabel Goldsmit

Anabel Goldsmit, also known as Lady Anabel Wayne Tempest Stuart, was a prominent British socialite and philanthropist who passed away peacefully at the age of 91. Known for her close friendship with Princess Diana, whom she regarded as a surrogate daughter, Goldsmit was a significant figure in Diana's life, providing emotional support and understanding that the princess lacked from her own mother. Born into an aristocratic family in 1934, she co-founded the famous London nightclub 'Annabel's' and later married financier Sir James Goldsmith. Throughout her life, Goldsmit was admired for her wit, warmth, and philanthropic efforts, and she leaves behind a legacy as a beloved friend and confidante to many, including 14 grandchildren.
