Robin Ann Dalton AM (née Eakin; 22 December 1920 – 8 July 2022)[1][2] was an Australian literary agent, film producer, and memoirist who lived in London for most of her adult life.

While in Australia she had met David Mountbatten, 3rd Marquess of Milford Haven, Prince Philip's cousin and best man at his wedding to Princess Elizabeth, and in London their affair continued,[6] but they were prevented from marrying by her status as a divorcee.

[7] She entered high society and met numerous international celebrities, which led to her doing espionage work for the Thai Government.

[4] Robin Dalton became a literary agent, acting for writers such as Joan Collins, Margaret Drabble, Arthur Miller, Iris Murdoch, Edna O'Brien, Sonia Orwell, John Osborne, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Bernice Rubens, David Storey, Ben Travers, Arnold Wesker and Tennessee Williams; and film makers such as Laurence Olivier,[5] Louis Malle and Peter Weir.
