Real Housewives of Dubai star Caroline Stanbury slammed for getting a 'terrifying' facelift at 47: 'She ruined her beautiful face' As if the fates of her two eldest sons were not terrible enough, the youngest, Christopher, suffered a serious motorbike accident in 1987, and fell into a coma. A doctor told Glenconner that there was no hope of recovery and urged her to get on with her life. Appalled, she undertook a rigorous program of stimulating Christopher’s senses: brushing his skin and exposing him to scents for fifteen minutes every hour. A roster of friends helped, including Christopher’s former nanny, Barbara Barnes, who had just stopped taking care of Princes William and Harry. In “Lady in Waiting,” Glenconner writes of Christopher, “My whole life became bound up in trying to save his.” After four months, she arrived at the hospital to find Christopher in tears—the first sign of responsiveness he had shown since the accident. Cradling him, she said that if he got better she would buy him a car, asking him what kind he would like. The response: “Lamborghini.”

Lady Anne Glenconner writes new book about life at Holkham

But isn’t stoicism a double-edged sword? As you admit in your book, life might have been better for you and your children if you’d talked more. In her life, she has seen lots of good times and lots of tragedy. She has also been there for major events in the royal family’s timeline. She was maid of honor at the coronation of Elizabeth to be queen, and companion to Princess Margaret until she died as one of her close friends and confidantes. This memoir contains many stories from her royal days as well as her life serving the princess and her own life. She was the most wonderful friend to me, because she saw all this [the trouble with Colin] going on. She had some of the same problems herself – I saw how Tony [Lord Snowdon] behaved – and it was worse for her, because she was in the public eye. But she saved my life in a way. She was caring, but she was also practical. She didn’t approve of crying or moaning. You had to pull yourself together.

Although the Crown has passed with unbroken legal continuity, there will be changes in style and policy. The King has already intimated that he might be willing, for example, to reconsider the requests for new DNA tests on the “Princes in the Tower”, and Queen Camilla has said the ladies in waiting will now be “Queen’s companions”, although they are still being drawn from the same aristocratic gene pool. These may seem minor things, but they are perhaps the edge of an iceberg of change.Lady Glenconner was primarily raised at her family's estate, Holkham Hall in Norfolk. [1] During the Second World War, she and her sister Carey stayed at Cortachy Castle in Angus, Scotland with their paternal great-aunt Alexandra, Countess of Airlie, their aunt's husband David Ogilvy, 12th Earl of Airlie, and the Airlies' children (including David and Angus).
