India Hicks and Lady Pamela Hicks discuss their book "Lady Pamela"

For years designer India Hicks has been sharing anecdotes about the life of her mother, Lady Pamela Hicks, or Lady P, as she is affectionately known.
Here, they discuss their new visual biography that chronicles Lady Pamela’s life. Daughter of the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, the last viceroy of India, Lady Pamela was a first cousin to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and served as a bridesmaid and lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth II, before marrying legendary interior designer David Hicks. Sifting through her parents’ archives, India has uncovered a trove of material about her mother. This beautifully illustrated personal history includes ephemera such as letters from the Queen; images of the houses and gardens where she grew up and made her wonderfully elegant home; details of her extraordinary work during Indian independence, her marriage to David Hicks and the homes he designed for them, the assassination of her father in Ireland, and later life in the country, as well as the lessons India has learned from her mother having had a front-row seat at so many historical events.

Dear India
I will be buying this book for friends birthday gifts this year.
You had made a lovely video of conversation with your mother in her home. Has it been taken down? Is it possible to see it again?
Thanks

These people continue to make money out of old family connections. Drop it, for the love of God

[@apebass2215]

Writing a book about the life of your mother is not "making money off old family connections", no one writes a book for the money.

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD" ?? YOU MUST NOT ABUSE GOD FOR YOUR RIDICULOUS COMMENTS
