A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

THE writer and broadcaster Chris Hutchins is an established author of highly acclaimed biographies of the rich, the famous and the royals. His first, Fergie Confidential, was an intimate biography of the Duchess of York and chronicled her troubled marriage to the Queen’s favourite son, Prince Andrew. He followed this with a revelatory biography of the late Princess of Wales, Diana’s Nightmare: The Family, a book which so established him as an authority on the royals that he was invited to cover Prince Charles’ subsequent marriage for American television. Books that followed include Elvis Meets the Beatles - a rendezvous he arranged during his close association with all five – ATHINA: The Last Onassis , which probed deeply into the world of the Onassis dynasty and GOLDSMITH: Money, Women and Power, the biography of the late billionaire entrepreneur, Sir James Goldsmith. More recently Hutchins turned his attention to matters Russian with fearless biographies of the country’s leader, PUTIN, and best-known oligarch, ABRAMOVICH: The billionaire from nowhere. The author returned to the royal stage with a revealing book about Diana’s son, HARRY: The People’s Prince Then it was back to rock’n roll with THE BEATLES: Messages from John, Paul George and Ringo which featured on its cover one of the postcards John Lennon sent to the author during his travels. As Prince Charles’ former secretary Mark Bolland says of him: ‘Chris Hutchins seems to have seen and done it all . . . ’ follow Chris on Twitter @ChrisHutchinsFn www.chrishutchins.info
