About the author
Chris Hutchins
27 books9 followersCHRIS 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. This was followed by a revelatory biography of the late Princess of Wales, DIANA’S NIGHTMARE, and an acclaimed psychological profile of her, DIANA ON THE EDGE.
