About this deal

A rare image of Princess Margaret showed her softer side as Her Royal Highness was pictured with her close friend Lady Glenconner Shrewd, funny, ideally candid and written with great confidence, brio and aplomb. A feisty, thought-provoking delight."— William Boyd, author of Any Human Heart and A Good Man in Africa I loved almost every story on it, except for the poo ones. She is so honest about her life and hr problems E.g. an alcoholic, bipolar mother. So well done for overcoming her own alcoholism too.

She lives in chaos on the edge of a wood in Sussex and works full time as a housewife, PA and taxi driver to her husband and three (sort of) grown up children.

Emma holds an MA in International Journalism from City, University of London, and a BA in English Literature from Trinity College Dublin. King Charles makes surprise appearance on first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death alongside Princess Margaret’s grandsons Obviously the Princess of Wales dressed fashionably, she had an amazing figure, and she could have carried anything,” she says. “But I don’t think, God, I wish I’d worn that.” Interesting memoir of a upper class English party girl who moved in lofty circles. The first half was zany, fun and interesting, but the second half tapered into a more predictable autobiography with lots of self examination and adult behavior. Just like growing up. Also what is missing for me is the development of her career into TV, as this is where I knew her from. I think this is because she doesn’t cover her relationship with Trinny, which I totally respect, but she mentions becoming an independent woman within her marriage and personally would have liked to know more about that part of her career. Maybe it was too difficult to disentangle from the partnership.

Her perspective was utterly forthright as she depicted a lifestyle lived between the city of London and the more meaningful existence of country life. Her family lived near a Duchess where she was best friends with their daughter. Susannah explains the structure of "the help", and also the fine lines between being welcomed into the fold of royal homes from a moneyed family, but as a non-royal. She was born in the sixties and raised in a culture directing that the future hinged on making a good marriage, not to excel at an education or work for a living. It's been claimed Princess Margaret was told off by Queen Elizabeth during their childhood for trying to 'frighten' her future Lady-in-Waiting
