Anne Glenconner

"Lady in Waiting" is an amazing biography, discussing the life of Lady Anne Glenconner being a lady-in-waid to Princess Margaret, and also uncovers the ways by which she found herself coping against the difficulty of being British royalty. What makes Glenconner's firsthand account so compelling is the intimacy with which she writes and the way the reader is almost privy to the behind-the-scenes discussion of the royal family's sacrifices, sorrows, and joys of life in her unique position at the heart of the Windsor family.
