Rebecca, the daughter of Jonathan Sieff, a one-time racing driver whose career ended when he was almost killed crashing his Lotus at 120mph in the Le Mans 24-hour race, and his second wife, Sixties model Angela Pringle, had a privileged childhood. She remembers,"It looked so glamorous and so wonderful, and you thought, I'm not going to end up in a shitty little house anywhere. I want to live there." But aged 16 and determined on a career in rock music, he told his father he didnt want it. But for the family whose home it has been for centuries, it also stands witness to a run of domestic dramas and crises perhaps none more unsettling than that which emerged yesterday. Though her trust fund had run out and she had been forced, latterly, into researching for Hugo Vickers, Rebecca knew what it meant to be rich. But then, this is one of the hazards of spending one's entire trust fund while still in your 20s, as she did, after which the one-time heiress had to work for a living, doing research for royal biographer Hugo Vickers as well as ironically enough organising tours of stately homes. Mr Howard leaves his wife, Rebecca Sieff, and their twins, Octavia and Merlin, who are 20.

The founders of the new organization elected Rebecca Sieff as president, opened an office in London in February 1919, and formed committees for disseminating their ideas, for collecting clothing for orphans in Palestine, and for cooperation with the London branch of the Verband jdischer Frauen fr Kulturarbeit in Palstina (The Jewish Womens League for Cultural Work in Palestine), an organization that had been established in The Hague in 1907, at the Eighth Zionist Congress, by wives of the Zionist leaders in Germany.
