TELEGRAPH 50 BEST BOOKS OF 2022 'A sparkling biography of a
fascinating woman' - Lynn Barber, Telegraph ***** 'Gaudoin's book
is revealing and hugely entertaining. Highly recommended.' - Daily
Mail 'Gaudoin tells these delicious stories with brio' - Sunday
Times Debutante of the year. Able politician. Femme fatale. Just
some of the many labels attached to the irrepressible,
controversial Raine Spencer: Countess, socialite and stepmother to
Diana, Princess of Wales. But who was the real Raine? What was
hidden behind the immaculately manicured public facade and her
overwhelmingly negative tabloid image? From her childhood days as
daughter of romantic novelist powerhouse, Barbara Cartland, to
Westminster councillor and wife of Earl Spencer, Three Times a
Countess recounts Raine's compelling and glamorous life, revealing
her to be a powerful, accomplished woman who, after a tumultuous
relationship, reconciled with Diana to become the Princess's
closest confidante and a key witness at the inquest into her death.
To her friends, Raine was shrewd, intelligent, witty and loyal; to
her enemies, pushy, overly flamboyant and ruthless. From a career
spanning local politics to dealing with the fortunes of Althorp;
from taking on the Spencer family estate to her final role as a
board member at Harrods, Raine's life was, by any standards, a
success . Yet she could not sway the powerful media narrative which
pitted her as 'the evil stepmother' at every turn. A societal whirl
of London Seasons, family feuds, politics, pomp and 'big hair',
Gaudoin's vibrant history of the Countess sets the record straight
once and for all, drawing insight from those who knew Raine most.
Three Times a Countess reveals a sophisticated, determined woman
whose loyalty knew no bounds and whose cache of secrets would have
worried even the most upright of royals.
