Anna Pasternak is the international bestselling author of The American Duchess, the Real Wallis Simpson, a biography which pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood women in British royal history, The Duchess of Windsor.
Her previous book, Lara; The Untold Love Story That Inspired Doctor Zhivago, which revealed the true story about the mistress and muse of Anna’s great uncle Boris Pasternak, achieved critical acclaim and is currently in film development.
Other titles include Princess in Love, which sold over half a million copies and was made into a CBS movie of the week and Call Off The Search, a jaw-droppingly honest self-help book about true love and relationships.
Anna’s work has featured in every mainstream British newspaper including The Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail as well as in magazines such as Vanity Fair, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Town & Country, Conde Nast Traveller and Tatler.
She is a founder member of the Free Speech Union and a member of their Writers Advisory Council.
A frequent royal commentator on television, radio and podcasts Anna regularly shares insights about the British Royal family, women’s issues and modern relationships. In June 2021, she spoke at The Oxford Union, the world’s most prestigious debating society, against the motion to abolish the British monarchy.
After witnessing the impact of a lecture she gave at St Paul’s Girls’ School in 2024, Anna is inspired to help others discover their own voice.
