“One’s eyes were on stalks… marvelous.”
—Jan Moir, Daily Mail
“Royal obsessives and casual observers alike will devour this memoir by the confidante—a noble herself—of Princess Margaret. Glenconner candidly writes about the unimaginable tragedies she endured in her personal life, and of the gilded affairs she witnessed on the periphery of royal life.”
—Newsweek
“Meticulously detailed.… [W]hat makes this account fresh and poignant is Glenconner’s use of affluent characters to demonstrate the extent to which class trumps power.… By unflinchingly examining everything from her troubled marriage and her fraught relationship with her children to the solace she found in service, the author emerges as a flawed yet steely woman worthy of respect. In laying her life bare, she demonstrates the limitations of being a woman in the British class system, showing that privilege is no insulation from suffering or pain. A must-have for loyal royal fans.”
