Diana, Tina Brown, Martin Amis
As my regular readers [1] will known, I am a great fan of Royal biographies. As the 10th anniversary (that doesn't seem the right word, but I can't think of another one) of Diana's death approaches, there has been a splurge of books about the Princess. Paul Burrell, her former Butler, has broken his silence about the Princess. Sarah Bradford has decided to give Royal biography a chance. And many others. Luckily Peter Conrad has decided to summarise most of them here.Tina Brown talks about her book here. The article notes that Tina Brown (at Oxford, I think, though perhaps just afterwards) "had a succession of famous boyfriends, including Martin Amis and Auberon Waugh". No Randolph? I'm obviously far too young to know the answer to this, but were Martin Amis and Auberon Waugh 'famous' in the early to mid 1970s? I suppose if much of your fame comes from your father then you always are famous. Or perhaps if you date someone who becomes famous, that is enough.
[1] An increasingly domestic readership, I hate to have to tell you, as 8% of my readership has moved from the US back to England in the last week or so.
