Lady Colin Campbell was born Georgia Arianna Ziadie in Jamaica to a prominent Lebanese-Jamaican family. She moved to New York as a young woman to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology and later married Lord Colin Campbell, son of the 11th Duke of Argyll. Though the marriage lasted only fifteen months, the title stuck, and she went on to build a career as one of the most controversial writers covering the British monarchy.
Her first royal biography, Diana in Private, became a New York Times bestseller in 1992 for its claims about Princess Diana’s private life. She followed it with The Royal Marriages and The Real Diana, establishing herself as someone willing to publish what palace insiders wouldn’t say publicly. Later books turned to the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth’s marriage, and the role of people of color within the Royal Family. Her 2020 book Meghan and Harry became a Sunday Times top-ten bestseller.
Outside royal biography, she published an etiquette guide, a memoir called Daughter of Narcissus, and a novel, Empress Bianca, which drew a defamation lawsuit from heiress Lily Safra before being revised and republished. She lives at Castle Goring in Worthing, England.
