Lady Glenconner: My plan to poison Hitler at Holkham Hall

Lady Glenconner has been speaking about her "extraordinary life in the shadow of the crown".

The 87-year-old, who was born Lady Anne Coke and brought up at Holkham Hall in Norfolk, has written her memoir 'Lady in Waiting'.

It tells the story of how she grew up around the royal family, was picked as a Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation in 1953 and became Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret.
