News about India Hicks

When her daughter India suggested that she should dust off her photograph albums, dig out her old letters and write a book about her life, Lady Pamela Hicks (pictured) asked: 'Who will be interested?' Fortunately, she allowed herself to be persuaded, and the result is a delightful book which records an era of vast stately homes, lavish house parties, thoroughbred horses and ball gowns. What gives this account added spice is that Pamela Hicks, now 95, is not only fantastically posh but has also been part of the Royal Family's inner circle all her life. The daughters of Earl Mountbatten of Burma and his rich, beautiful wife Edwina, Pamela and her elder sister Patricia were favourite playmates of their cousins, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret . Pamela was a bridesmaid at Elizabeth's wedding to Prince Philip (another cousin). (Pictured right, Queen Elizabeth II with Lady Hicks.)

'Lucky me, just spent a few days on the island of my childhood,' says India.' In 1967, her parents, Earl Mountbatten's younger daughter, Lady Pamela Hicks, and interior designer David Hicks built Savannah House on Windermere, often referred to as the Bahamas' best kept secret. The cubist building, which is located on a hill, has views of the Atlantic on one side and still turquoise waters on the other.

India Hicks has paid tribute to her adopted son's birth mother, who died of cancer in 2010 (right). The goddaughter of King Charles, 56, posted a snapshot of her five children (left) visiting Lynne's grave, the birth mother of her adopted Bahamian son Wesley, 26 (inset together). Lynne was the first person she encountered in the Bahamas with husband David Flint Wood since 1996, and the two became friends.

India Hicks rose to prominence as the future monarch's goddaughter, serving as a bridesmaid at his first wedding. However, her love for King Charles goes beyond family support, and she spends time promoting the Prince's Trust's work. Not only does she act as a patron, but she also rented her stunning Bahamas retreat over the summer, with a portion of the proceeds going to the charity. Although a stay on the Harbour Island getaway comes with a hefty price tag of £18,000 a week, India is confident that the reward will be worth it.

One of Princess Diana's bridesmaids has weighed in on why she wasn't invited to the coronation. During the BBC's coverage of King Charles, India Hicks (pictured) also a goddaughter of King Charles, addressing her lack of invitation. Despite not being offered the opportunity not to attend, Lady Pamela Hicks, the designer's mother, has lauded the king, who has described her as 'considerate' and 'patient'. India has discussed how 'exciting' it is that Charles created a guest list based on'meritocracy,' and her mother Pamela has described it as'very sensible.'

India Hicks, 55, whose mother, Lady Pamelia Hicks, took to Instagram to post a snapshot of herself with King Charles, who wore little more than a pair of black and white trunks in the snap taken when she was a young 'annoying' five-year-old. She posted a photo of herself on Instagram praising King Charles' coronation invitations, which are based on'meritocracy.' when she failed to make the list.

The Princess of Wales, India Hicks, who attended the Queen's funeral earlier this year with her mother, told The Telegraph that she has 'developed a strong sense of style.' Elsewhere, India explained how she might consider giving Kate one of her bags but then added, "She wants to not be given things." (left and right)

India Hicks (pictured) the monarch's goddaughter has confirmed that using the monarch's new name'still feels strange.' Lady Pamela Hicks' 55-year-old daughter (pictured left with her mother at the Queen's funeral in 1981) and Prince Diana's bridesmaid made the remarks in a recent Instagram post. India also revealed that she would ride a bicycle from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle in an attempt to raise money for the Prince's Trust. India announced that she would be joining thousands of others on the ride, as part of the Women Supporting Women team, sharing a photograph of herself riding her bike.

India Hicks, the niece of Lady Pamela Hicks, who was bridesmaid at Charles and Diana's wedding in 1981, shared a video of her strolling around Windsor Estate (right). The video was taken in a very strange manner. Despite the fact that people around her appear to be dressed in a mourning suit and a black jacket, it was presumably at the Committal Service for Her late Majesty. However, adorned guards at Windsor Castle appeared to be on duty as the mourners walked through the grounds. On Monday, India attended Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, joined by her mother, Lady Pamela Hicks (left).
