Whatever Next?: Lessons from an Unexpected Life

Bracing honesty, rare insight, and hilarious revelations from the author of the smash-hit New York Times bestselling memoir Lady in Waiting as she shares everything she's learned from her extraordinary and unexpected life.

Lady in Waiting brought us royal magic, beguiling insight, and jaw-dropping stories from life inside Anne Glenconner’s privileged circle, which though golden didn't always glitter.

Now in her ninth decade, she's keen to share everything her unexpected life has taught her—the wise, the extraordinary, hilarious, poignant, and illuminating learnings from a life which has taken her from Debutante of the Year to traveling salesman, as well as wife to volatile Lord Glenconner, and Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret. She has organized extravagant parties, run huge houses, camped in jungle in Mustique, served on royal tours, as well as survived the devastating loss of two sons, and nursing another back to life.

A treasury of hard-won wisdom, as well as vintage entertainment of the kind only Anne Glenconner can deliver.
