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.
