Her behaviour and lifestyle scandalised middle class society. ==Life and marriages== Lady Idina was the daughter of Gilbert Sackville, 8th Earl De La Warr, and Lady Muriel Agnes Brassey, daughter of Thomas Brassey, 1st Earl Brassey, and Anna Allnutt. She had two younger siblings, her sister Avie and her brother Herbrand. Her cousin was the writer Vita Sackville-West. Lady Myra Idina Sackville was known by her middle name, Idina. It was said of her that the 'room lit up when she entered it'. She married and divorced five times. At the age of 20, she married on 26 November 1913 Captain Euan Wallace, taking his name.〔(The Genealogy of the Wallace Family )〕 Their marriage produced two sons: * David John Wallace (1914 – k.i.a., World War II, Greece, 1944), married in 1939 Joan Prudence Magor (later remarried on 3 March 1948 Gerald Frederick Walter de Winton), and had two daughters: * * Cary Davina Wallace, married David Arthur Russell Howell, Baron Howell of Guildford.
