In his stunning memoir, Anthony Russell takes us inside his childhood growing up at Leeds Castle, with luxury and opulence few can imagine, and how he found his way in a changing society.Once home to Kings and Queens, Leeds Castle fell into disrepair for nearly a century until it was restored to its former glory by Anthony Russell's grandmother, Lady Baillie.
