They are now more likely to have stylists and private secretaries. I am not sure the new generation of royal ladies even have ladies-in-waiting. There is something very stoic about this lady who has embraced modern life and has never complained about her own life when it went tragically wrong. She was born into a world of privilege however money did not always come with position. She suffered much personal tragedy throughout her life. Her life was not all parties, wealth and glamour. Lady Anne writes in her book that her husband “bought it for £45,000 - without even having set foot on it,” and they transformed the land into a paradise playground for the rich and famous.
The eldest daughter of the fifth Earl of Leicester, she married Lord Glenconner (formerly Colin Tennant) in 1956, who famously purchased the Caribbean island of Mustique two years later. She was appointed Princess Margaret’s lady-in-waiting in 1971 and worked with her for more than three decades. Lady Anne Glenconner has known the royal family since childhood and was one of the Queen’s maids of honour at her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947.
