Like many fashionable women of the time, Tanis Guinness accumulated a fine collection of husbands. She threw over her first spouse, the Hon. William Montagu, for the Earl of Carnarvon, only to stand him up at the altar and run away with Howard Dietz. Fourteen years later they divorced and she married a Royal Navy veteran, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Philips.
