I loved her first book, Lady in Waiting. She has suffered many tragedies in her life but she does not pity or feel sorry for herself. What a remarkable person！
She’s from a generation with real backbone and resilience the likes of which I don’t think we’ll ever see again sadly.
I've no idea why this popped up on my feed but I'm so pleased it did. What a marvelous woman she is !
Obviously I've heard of Lady Glenconner but didn't know a great deal about her, what a woman, fascinating!
I must get it.
Lady Anne, I think you are fabulous💕
Wow I am at the point of her losing her sons and her son being in the coma…. I lost my brother at 30 but being a Mother and losing two sons is just so tragic. God bless her she is just lovely
How grand a soul she is. She nursed and loved while suffering tremendously.
What suffering?
What an inspirational lady ❤️❤️❤️🏴
Fantastic interview. Great woman. It takes a strong character to get through what she has.I loved her cheeky comment "I know it's not allowed to ask these days "Where do you come from"?".
Lady Ann is such a brilliant person thank god for people like her.
What a delightful lady. Still beautiful.❤
So interesting, and an amazing life. She isnt alone to experience such tragedy , but her strength got her through, great attitude, loving and caring through it all
I think she deserves to be put forward for canonisation. A ghastly life in the main. I admire her tremendously.
Why ghastly?
@@user-gk7qh3ir1p Read her memoir. Anne Glenconner has the most amazing ability to tolerate monstrous people. Her husband Colin was a madman of the first water. (He was also possibly a genius and a visionary, truly someone who didn't like the reality of what he was born into, so he went off and created a different reality for himself.) Being Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret was no walk in the park either.
Excellent interview! Lady Anne's life has been filled with amazing adventures and tragic events. God bless her and her family.
As much as I love Tina Brown, I'm sure Lady Glenconner could have held court all by herself recalling all the interesting stories from her life. How sad that she and many women from her generation had to contend with domestic abuse, because ladies of the time were expected to shut up and take it. It's difficult for women who today who are victims of domestic abuse, but thank goodness for all the resources available to women who choose not to be their husbands' punching bags. I'm sure Lady Glenconner's book will inspire many women who will be able to relate to her struggles as a victim of spousal abuse and as a mother who was devoted to nursing her children and others back to health. I will definitely be reading both of her books!
P. S. I chuckled when Lady Glenconner let it slip that Harry had been an angry child. It explains so much about the petulant man-child!
yes he was very troublesome
How "nice" that she and you felt that mentioning that was SOMEhow "worthy" or "funny" or at the least "relevant".
@@greeneyedwarlock882Agreed! 👍
Keep Harry's name out of your mouth!
I've read the two books and adored every word. She is for me nobless personified. I must also say that I don't think I've seen such a young looking 91 year old, it's amazing!
Her two novels are great reads as well. Based somewhat on her life
@@cabbagetownrose5931 Yes, I know she's written novels, but I've become quite dogmatic about reading nonfiction in my old age, possibly wanting to absorb as much as possible before I break my pipe, as they say in French. I overdosed on (good) fiction in my youth and am content with that. 🌛
Noblesse.
@@user-ev4ie2wx7k Thank you. Dang autocorrection.
An amazing woman. Strong, intelligent, sesitve and loving. What a jewel! Reminds me of my own mother. Great lady.
Wonderful lady, she es getting to be one of the last links to a bygone era which is difficult to understand these days.
How fascinating!!!
Loveee Lady Anne she's a wonderful personality
Lady Glenconner mentioned Princess Margaret’s education. I believe that the late Queen Mother did both of her daughters a disservice by not sending them to a proper school, and Margaret in particular could have been sent to university after the war. I think many of her problems were born out of boredom.
Couldn’t agree more about the crown, started wonderfully and then became something of a hatchet job.
AMAZING TENDERNESS AND COURAGE.A LESSON FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
An extraordinary person. Enjoyable. Interview
A delightful lady with her constitution still very much in place at 92.
Great interview. She like a nice lady. I am going to read her books.
I absolutely LOVE Lady G.!
I love listening & reading everything Lady Anne has said provided!
I’ve bought BOTH books!
I wish she would’ve been able to talk more and Tina brown would haven’t had talked over her & interrupted her so much.
I just love Tina Brown and the way she tells a story. And I admire how Lady Glenconner shares most difficult parts of her marriage and the domestic abuse she suffered without rancor or self-pity.
Thank you--two amazing ladies--excellent story tellers.
What a great conversation and commentary.
OMG Colin was a total ass. Lady Anne was quite incredible to stick with him and suffer such mistreatment. She certainly never deserved that. What a wonderful lady. I am so sad that that SOB was such a jerk to the very end. I can’t help but wonder what her friends and family were doing
Adding her books to my list! Quite a lady.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏What an amazing Lady !! A real star !!! Una genia total !!!
A goooorgeous video ! And jolly nice English without an accent !😉
When I was young I looked after my uncle's ponies at Cowdray Park Polo Club, in Midhurst, and everybody there spoke just like you ! 😀😀
Muchos saludos para las dos,

Fantastic
I love her
Agreed re her book. Great.
Amazing! I read the first book. Such a good read! 🤗
He and Margaret may also have lived longer had they not smoked 3 packs per day. It was the Queen Mother, who was incredibly savvy, who ran with the theory that Uncle David killed her husband by abdicating. No the nicotine did it.
Yes, smoking killed several royals. They all would have lived longer if they didn’t smoke (and drink so heavily!).
@@ErinAboubut that was how they coped with the stresses that were going on.
The government recommended smoking to the British Public after WW2, I think it may have been because of rationing and if you smoked you would not be so hungry. Same government now demanding that we stop smoking.
The Duke of Windsor abdicating shortened George VI's life, not the heavy smoking.
Tina as much as you try to hide it your veiled distain for Monarchy and aristocracy is very obvious and yet I believe they’ve kept a roof over your head.
Hopefully you remain living in the USA. They can have you.
Lady G is a true lady. You are not.
I agree ...the snark sure flowed in the Palace Diaries
@@jackiejones690 I didn’t read them but watched 2 interviews with her promoting it. For the English woman who interviewed her for the English audience she said one thing and then for the American audience she said almost the opposite so I did some digging. One former colleague called her “Stalin in heels.” And yet she accepted an OBE, so a hypocrite and opportunist as well.
Loved this thanks so much. Will be buying both books.
Buy? Library!
36:36 is Lady Anne's son the reason Princess Margaret was such a great Patron for AIDS research?
Did she get to go to the Coronation? I thought this was a more current interview.
I wish Tina didn’t interrupt so much.
I believe Tina gave it direction and kept lady G interesting by focusing on subjects of interest to listeners.
An out and out snob but a very endearing one....She has and always had a very funny side..She is so interesting.....love her........
A "out and out SNOB".....REALLY? After everything she's suffered through and LOST and has had the GUTS & HEART to share with the world at 91, but SHE'S A SNOB?!? GTFO!!!🖕🖕🖕
34.00 bless her. 😢
She's Lady Glenconner, not Lady Anne Glenconner, because she's the wife/widow of Lord Glenconner, not the daughter of Lord Glenconner. Actually she's the Dowager Lady Glenconner.
I have the sense that it is her who wants people to call her 'Lady Anne'. She repeats it herself numerous times. 'the Lady Glenconner' is correct but rather impersonal.
As the daughter of an Earl, I think she is Lady Anne from birth.
This interviewer is irritating , let her speak organically !!!
Tina, i love this interview, but i wish you wouldn't over talk the lady.
i particularly enjoyed her details 'an awful stench of moth. balls..!' 😅
OMG… the British accent…Wow
An interviewer who reads from her notes, really shows that she has no interest in her guest.
No it shows she wants to keep the conversation moving and interesting
Don't think that dreadful Brown was necessary.
Did she go to the coronation ?
Not a fan of Tina Brown
Me neither. Can't stand her.
Tina brown isn’t a great interviewer don’t like her cutting lady Ann off
Don’t care for Tina Brown’s interview style. Lovely Lady Glenconner.
Lady Ann is quite amazing. Tina is horrible.
Tina is awful here. She constantly interrupted and seemed very cold
Well, she IS very cold !
"She's a Mrs. Bennett." Best line of the interview. But Tina didn't like it.
Tina is extremely biased AGAINST the Monarchy and aristocratics in general in my opinion.
She tries to veil it but I saw 2 interviews with her when she was promoting her book a year or 2 ago. She e had more or less the same sort of questions but very different answers depending who the audience was.
It’s best she remains living in the USA.
@@michelegraham9044 In this case, Tina is protecting her much more valuable connection with the Middletons.
People will never forget Carol for daring to create something of herself and for her children. In their eyes, she should have known her place and stayed in a council flat.
The Dauphan Charles remembers you with fondness
I have much sympathy for her but when Tina Brown complimented on her being a very strong woman apparently it took the mother to confront the husband. And when asked why she didn’t leave him her reply was “we were brought up not to do that”. I find that a pathetic response. If she had said for example she stayed because of the children it would have sounded more valid but her husband was a monster from beginning to end. I can relate to her story but the truth always comes out in the end.
That is how it was. Divorce was not accepted. That’s why Margaret and Uncle David were affected. Margaret said it wasn’t possible because the church didn’t allow it. Uncle gave us his Kingdom.
That's really REALLY how it was back then for the aristocrat & the commoners NOTHING pathetic about IT
Really showing your ignorance.
The problem with listening to Lady Glenconner is that she is in such a rush to say what she wants. It's irritating!
Really!!!!! What an ass you are
Tina helped to keep that in check. Kept Lady G from becoming boring.
She needs money
@@saraneuss4089 Yes, she needs money, because her sadistic husband left everything to his personal valet in his will. I hope Lady Glenconner makes a ton of money with the publishing of both her books, because she has definitely earned it! What an absolute bastard her husband was!
@@lisalivingston6473 what a bastard! I'm glad this lady chose to move on without wallowing in self pity.
@@gv1967Lady Anne Glenconner is the ultimate survivor, and it's nice to see her now living in peace and happiness attracting admirers with each book she sells through her engaging interviews. I always enjoy supporting the underdog and the mistreated. She got the last laugh! Bravo, Lady Glenconner! 😊❤
I found all four of her books engrossing - two biographies, one murder mystery set at Holcomb, and another set on Mustique. I hope she writes more.
Cynical of you ….. she’s passing on interesting,social history… she doesn’t need the money. Apart from the fact she’s wealthy in her own right, her previous book was a best seller and she’s old enough not to have to worry about the future
