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. Shrewd, funny, ideally candid and written with great confidence, brio and aplomb. A feisty, thought-provoking delight' WILLIAM BOYD

Susannah also harbors no envy for the outfits of royal ladies like Princess Diana, admitting that while the late aristocrat was undeniably “a style icon”, she never influenced her own wardrobe. The title Kate Middleton took from Princess Margaret because of her and William's go-to place for romantic getaways She was the person who encouraged me to have my own opinion, to encourage me to stand by it,” recalls. “She was so resourceful, so practical, and not embarrassed by anything. There was a great deal of comfort.”It is a really entertaining read, but this was a book of two halves for me. The first half was a brilliant, brutally honest and fast paced read, covering her childhood through to her relationship with David Armstrong-Jones. I was totally fascinated by her world and what is was like to grow up in upper class Britain in the 60s/70s, being educated to be a society wife. I felt totally transported.

Where to Find Us When asked if she believes she would have been able to handle the pressure of marrying the Queen’s nephew, Susannah’s of two minds. Constantine writes like a dream. She has had, it could be argued, the perfect life for a memoir. Raised with wealth and connections, having a relationship with Princess Margaret's son for some years and then finding herself first in the world of fashion and then in the world of television, there is a lot of meat on the bones of this book. The true me is the person I was when I was a child, someone who likes isolation and solitude and to be in the countryside, and not have to look glamorous every day. That wouldn’t have been afforded.” PDF / EPUB File Name: Ready_for_Absolutely_Nothing_A_Memoir_-_Susannah_Constantine.pdf, Ready_for_Absolutely_Nothing_A_Memoir_-_Susannah_Constantine.epubIt's been claimed Princess Margaret was told off by Queen Elizabeth during their childhood for trying to 'frighten' her future Lady-in-Waiting Princess Margaret’s 'absolutely livid' reaction on her Lady-in-Waiting’s wedding day apparently didn’t go unnoticed by the bride… The title says it all really. Girls in the upper echelons of British society were not particularly well educated since their sole aim in life would be to find a wealthy husband and bow to his every whim while looking stylish and immaculate at all times. We are not talking Victorian times here. This book relates to the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Princess Diana was a prime example of this.
