Background
Constance was the daughter of Baron Anthony (1810–1876) and Louise (née Montefiore, 1821–1910) de Rothschild. Her father was a scion of the wealthiest and most distinguished Jewish banking family in England. The Rothschilds enjoyed pre-eminence among the network of aristocratic cousins who ruled Anglo-Jewish society in the late nineteenth-early twentieth century.
