Elizabeth’s estranged husband, Anthony, had returned from India in 1947. At this point, Elizabeth separated from George and resumed her life with Anthony as his wife. With financial support from Stella Gwynne, Elizabeth and Anthony bought a house in Chelsea, London – 24 Halsey Street, where Elizabeth was to remain for the rest of her life. Anthony did not adjust well to civilian life, he was unable to find suitable work and ran up debts from a failed business venture. His relationship with Elizabeth deteriorated further so that, by 1948, they were living separately.
