Lady Colin Campbell’s non-fiction output spans more than three decades of writing about royalty, society, and her own life. Her earliest book, Lady Colin Campbell’s Guide to Being a Modern Lady (1986), drew on her social connections and experience in high society. She then turned to royal biography with Diana in Private (1992), which broke new ground with its claims about the Princess of Wales and became a New York Times bestseller.
The books that followed continued to pull back the curtain on the British monarchy. The Royal Marriages examined the private lives of multiple royal couples, while The Untold Life of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother and The Queen’s Marriage focused on the senior royals. People of Colour and the Royals explored a less-examined angle on the Royal Family, and Meghan and Harry tackled the most talked-about royal story of the 2020s.
Her 2009 memoir, Daughter of Narcissus, turned the lens inward with a personal account of her upbringing in Jamaica. A Life Worth Living rounds out the collection with reflections on building a meaningful life from her own experience.
