About

Harriet Cullen discusses the remarkable story of her mother’s life – a heady time of parties and lovers but also one of far-reaching political influence.  In conversation with broadcaster and journalist Victoria Mather, Harriet describes how Lady Pamela was one of the great social protagonists in post-war England.  Friends – and sometimes enemies – with Evelyn Waugh, Nancy Mitford, Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, Chips Channon and Cecil Beaton, her social circle thrived on politics and intrigue. Lady Pamela became the most famous political and press hostess of her generation, using her great beauty, intellect and charm to exert extraordinary influence over those in power.
