Churchill's Daughters as Politicians

Inevitably, from their childhood, they were immersed in politics. As a teenager, Diana was fascinated by political ideas and often campaigned with her father. Stepping in for her mother, Clementine, she attended political meetings with him and even began to make speeches at events. However, she lacked the necessary ego to stand for Parliament, and instead, she became the supportive wife of the Conservative politician, Duncan Sandys. In contrast, Sarah had the charm and charisma to have won over voters. When Randolph stood in a by-election in 1935, the family nanny thought that she was far better at handling people from different backgrounds than her brother. However, her focus was always on a different type of platform, and she soon went on the stage.
