"She was a great beauty of her generation, spoke five languages fluently, and had a presence that could lift the gloomiest room," a family friend said.
"Above all, she was a wonderful mother, wife and daughter who touched so many. She's going to be missed a lot."
A friend said Ms Guinness was never happier than when attending a tea party with the Iveagh Trust tenants and the couple's children, Aoife (18), Bea (16) and Aidan (10).
Ms Guinness was born in London to Swedish and Indian parents, highlighting her multicultural background while her father later became pro rector of Imperial College London.
