Her Royal Highness Princess Michael of Kent is a writer, historian and lecturer. In her new book, A Cheetah’s Tale, the author describes aspects of
her own early life travelling in Africa and raising a cheetah cub. This unusual experience in the 1960s sparked her lifelong interest in
conservation, of big cats especially. Among the many charities she supports, Princess Michael is currently Royal Patron of the Endangered Species
Centre in South Africa (predominantly cheetahs) and also of The Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia. She lives with her husband, Prince
Michael of Kent, in Kensington Palace in London. Her Royal Highness’ previous books include the non-fiction historical works Crowned in a
Far Country, Cupid and the King, The Serpent and the Moon. The Anjou Trilogy, VOL. 1 the Queen of Four Kingdoms, VOL.II Agnes Sorel and
VOL.III Quicksilver were her first forays into writing historical fiction.
