About this listen
Bracing honesty, rare insight and hilarious revelations from internationally bestselling author of Lady in Waiting as she shares everything she's learned from her extraordinary and unexpected life.
Anne Glenconner's glittering life hasn't always been golden. As she revealed in her astonishing bestselling memoir Lady in Waiting, it has been one of stark contrasts—from growing up in the splendour of Holkham Hall to living in a tent in the jungle of Mustique, from travelling the world with Princess Margaret to coping with her wildly unpredictable husband Lord Glenconner. Tragically, she has also survived the loss of two of her sons and nursed a third son back from a coma.
Now in her ninetieth year, and at her happiest, Anne brings her bracing honesty, characteristic wit and courage to reflect on and reveal more about her long and unexpected life, her extremely volatile marriage, and what it's taught her.
As a wife, she became a master in the art of keeping the peace, knowing when to pick her battles, when she needed help—and when to take a lover. As a hostess, she acquired great practical skills in throwing marvellous parties and looking after magnificent homes, and, as a lady in waiting, became well versed in diplomacy and etiquette. It was as a mother she learnt the toughest lessons of all, and through them the value of friendship, family, and laughter to get her through the worst moments in life, as well as celebrate the best of them.
Anne Glenconner's Whatever Next? is the richly entertaining proof that staying open to every new adventure and being ready for whatever happens sets an inspiring example for us all.

Excellent memoir - entertaining and honest
Enjoyed this memoir even better than her first, perhaps because Lady Anne added her reflections and afterthoughts in response to the feedback she received from Lady in Waiting. Hearing her life lessons were like listening to inspiring messages.

Remarkable Life
I enjoyed listening the Lady Glenconner and her incredible life. They don’t make them like her anymore and I hope she makes it to 100 to hear more tales of her exploits in life.

A wonderful tale of a life so well lived!
Lady Glenconner tells her life’s experiences in a way that is both enlightening and refreshing. What a wonderful example of how well life can be lived, despite her terrible sadness and family adversity. I love her unfailing positivity and wonderful wit and highly recommend this book, along with Lady in Waiting.

Repetition
Lady Glenconner did a bit of a naughty “double dip” by selling this book of mostly repetition.
Some detail is added, but it was not worth another book.
