She was called the pearl of the Pszczyna castle, the most beautiful British woman of her era… The beauty, diplomatic gift, and wonderful voice of Princess von Plesse captivated all men. Daisy and her husband Prince Hans Heinrich XV, Prince... of Plesse, were one of the wealthiest noble families in Europe, owners not only of the castle in Pszczyna but also of the famous Ksiaz Castle, as well as large estates, coal mines in Silesia, cement and metallurgy plants, a power station, and a brewery. However, the princess did not suffer from vanity; she actively engaged in charity work.
