A Lady in Waiting

Anne Glenconner

This memoir by Anne Glenconner, a member of the royal circle and lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret, is a captivating account of her remarkable life. From her childhood friendship with Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret to her experiences as a witness to landmark moments in royal history, Anne shares intimate stories of survival amidst tragedy and court life. She tells of her broken-off first engagement, marriage to a volatile and unfaithful Lord, and nursing her son back to health after a devastating accident. With humor and resilience, Anne recounts her travels with the royal family and the development of the Caribbean island of Mustique as a playground for the rich and famous.

4. LADY IN WAITING by Anne Glenconner is the treat you've been seeking if you wish "Downton Abbey" had a new season. Glenconner, one of Queen Elizabeth II's longest and most loyal attendants, spills little royal dirt but dishes plenty on her own fascinating, tragic life.      source
