About the book: Rogue Royal is The New York Times and Sunday Times best selling writer Lady Colin Campbell's second published novel.
Inspired by the antics of many of the household names who have been a part of the social set on both sides of the Atlantic, Royal Rogue (2025) takes the reader behind the scenes to what life was really like for the rich and famous in the heyday of the 20th century, when the elite lived lives whose details and reality were seldom accessible to the general public.
Arising from the ashes of the horrors of the Nazi regime in the Second World War, Rogue Royal follows its characters through into their consequent and consequential life events in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. Featuring vivid descriptions of the scandalous adventures and escapades of the female protagonist and her international lovers and friends within a stunning high-class set of aristocratic and royal characters from Britain, Romania, Jamaica and America, Rogue Royal is a revelatory page turner from beginning to end.
About the author: Lady Colin Campbell lives between London and Castle Goring with her two sons. Through marriage and common ancestors, she is connected to all the Royal Families of Europe and has been a fixture in Society and gossip columns on both sides of the Atlantic for the last four decades.
She wrote the London Times and New York Times bestseller Diana in Private (1992), which lifted the lid on the state of the Wales marriage as well as revealing a host of firsts, including that Diana had an eating disorder; that she and Prince Charles led separate lives; that she had asked for a divorce; and that both she and her husband had lovers. Her acclaimed posthumous biography The Real Diana (1998/2004) was called the ‘most believable Diana biography’ by People magazine, and Royal Book News noted that ‘Lady Colin Campbell’s books are now must haves.’ Her 2005 novel Empress Bianca became an international cause célèbre, and was described by Alexander Waugh of the Literary Review as ‘brilliant’.
She is also the author of Guide to Being a Modern Lady (1986); The Royal Marriages (1993); A Life Worth Living (1997); Daughter of Narcissus (2009) and she ghosted With Love From Pet Heaven by Tum Tum the Springer Spaniel (2010).
