Lady Anne Glenconner: From Holkham to Mustique and Everything in Between

Hidden Heritage

About this episode

Lady Anne Glenconner has lived more lives than most of us could imagine. Born at Holkham Hall, Maid of Honour at Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation, and lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret for over three decades, Lady Anne stood at the centre of royal history — and at the creation of Mustique as a legendary private island. But behind the glamour lies a life shaped equally by resilience: inheritance battles, personal tragedy, a complex marriage, and reinvention as a bestselling author in her late eighties. In this deeply personal conversation, Lady Anne reflects on: Growing up at Holkham Hall Royal service and Princess Margaret beyond the myth Loss, dignity and survival Inheritance laws and women’s rights The future of Britain’s great houses Candid, witty and unflinching. 📖 Lady Anne’s books: Lady in Waiting – https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QWTZDCG Manners and Mischief – https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FKMWRL1H Join HeritageXplore Club: https://www.heritagexplore.com/hx-club/ Learn more about your ad choices.
