Anne Veronica Tennant, Dowager Baroness Glenconner, LVO (née Coke; born 16 July 1932) is a British peeress and socialite.

Lady Glenconner was born Anne Veronica Coke (pronounced "Cook") in 1932 at 13 Queensberry Place, South Kensington.

[1] During the Second World War, she and her sister Carey stayed at Cortachy Castle in Angus, Scotland with their paternal great-aunt Alexandra, Countess of Airlie, their aunt's husband David Ogilvy, 12th Earl of Airlie, and the Airlies' children (including David and Angus).

[4][1] She was engaged to Johnnie Althorp, later father to Diana, Princess of Wales; his father objected to the match on the grounds of "mad blood", a reference to her Trefusis ancestry which was shared by institutionalised relatives of the Queen, and the engagement was broken off; in 1997, the director of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute[7] opined that a genetic disease in the Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis family (i.e. of Anne's paternal grandmother)[8] may have killed male members of the family in early childhood and caused learning disabilities in females.

[4] When Lord Glenconner died in 2010, it was revealed that he had made a new will shortly before his death leaving all of his assets to an employee, Kent Adonai.

The family contested this will, and after a legal battle that lasted several years the estate was divided between Adonai and Cody Charles Edward Tennant, the fourth Lord Glenconner.

[4] Princess Margaret would visit Lady Glenconner at her Norfolk home, where she would sometimes help by laying the fire or washing the car.

Speaking on her reason for publishing the book, she said: "I was so fed up with people writing such horrible things about Princess Margaret.

"[27][28] In particular, she described Craig Brown's Ma'am Darling as "that horrible book, we won't mention the name of the somebody who wrote it.
