Lady Anne Glenconner has lived more lives than most of us could imagine.
Born at Holkham Hall, Maid of Honour at Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation, and lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret for over three decades, Lady Anne stood at the centre of royal history — and at the creation of Mustique as a legendary private island.
But behind the glamour lies a life shaped equally by resilience: inheritance battles, personal tragedy, a complex marriage, and reinvention as a bestselling author in her late eighties.
In this deeply personal conversation, Lady Anne reflects on:
Growing up at Holkham Hall
Royal service and Princess Margaret beyond the myth
Loss, dignity and survival
Inheritance laws and women’s rights
The future of Britain’s great houses
Candid, witty and unflinching.
