She still lives near Holkham, in Norfolk, where she grew up as the daughter of the Earl of Leicester. She sometimes gets letters from foreign fans addressed to “Lady Glenconner, England”. She loves meeting the public and is “particularly delighted to learn I have become an unofficial agony aunt as well as a gay icon”. They coughed politely, but she achieved both, and then embarked on a whirlwind of book tours, lectures, interviews, and podcasts. She told them that if she did produce a book she would want to sell at least 500,000 copies and appear on Graham Norton’s TV show. Perrin said she should write a book about it and sent her to meet the team at Hodder.
She’d just read a biography of Princess Margaret which she thought was unfair, so she was talking about her own experiences as the Princess’s Lady in Waiting. It started at a lunch with friends in Norfolk where she met a publisher called Tom Perrin. Three years on from Lady in Waiting, it’s great to have another memoir from Lady Glenconner who, at 90, says she’s loving her new literary career.
