She married, firstly, Henry Thynne, Viscount Weymouth (who became the 6th Marquess of Bath in 1946), on 27 October 1927. Neither his nor her parents approved of the marriage, and they were divorced in 1953. From 1946, she was known as the Marchioness of Bath. The couple had five children:

She moved in the world of the "Bright Young Things" in the 1920s and produced a series of popular books about high society. Of Fielding's memoirs, Mercury Presides, Evelyn Waugh wrote: "Daphne has written her memoirs. Contrary to what one would have expected they are marred by discretion and good taste. The childhood part is admirable. The adult part is rather as though Lord Montgomery were to write his life and omit to mention that he ever served in the army."
