Product Information

There had also been discussion of King Charles’s coronation, which will take place in May, on a scale much reduced from that of Queen Elizabeth. There will reportedly be only two thousand guests, as opposed to the eight thousand who were at Westminster Abbey seventy years ago. Competition for seats at the Abbey is inevitable, with not every titled grandee guaranteed a spot. Glenconner said, “I think the dukes will all come, because they are part of the ceremony—they give their liege, or whatever it is. But I think the other peers and peeresses will have to ballot.” In 2019, Lady Glenconner's memoir Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crown, was published by Hodder & Stoughton. Speaking on her reason for publishing the book, she said: "I was so fed up with people writing such horrible things about Princess Margaret." [26] [27] In particular, she described Craig Brown's Ma'am Darling as "that horrible book, we won't mention the name of the somebody who wrote it. I don't know why people want to rot her like that."

This wouldn’t have been a problem if it wasn’t for the fact that it was less than thrilling, had an awful dark and sinister undertone and quite frankly infuriating!Christopher regained many of his former capacities, but he walks with a limp and has other physical challenges. He lives with his wife, Johanna, in a house on the Holkham estate. His sisters also live in the area. Before Glenconner wrote further about her marriage in “Whatever Next?,” she asked her children’s permission, and all of them shared memories of their father. She found the process cathartic. Christopher told me, “I have nothing but respect and love for my dad, because he was amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing. But I can understand exactly how he might not seem that way to our mum.” Her full name was Anne Veronica Coke, also known as Baroness Glenconner and Lady Glenconner. Born in London on July 16, 1932, she is known for being a lady in waiting to Princess Margaret (sister of Queen Elizabeth II) from 1971 to 2002.
