Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 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 TimesDebutante 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 fa ade 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. From middle-class London girl to Countess and wife of Earl Spencer, Three Times a Countess charts the scandalous life of Raine Spencer, demystifying her femme fatale tabloid reputation and uncovering the truth behind her becoming one of Princess Diana's closest confidantes.
