About the Author/作者介绍: 西奥•阿伦森是为数不多的一位能获得皇室认可的一位传记作者。作为一位拉脱维亚的犹太店主儿子,他出生在南非的柯克伍德,与奈杰尔•霍桑在开普敦大学求学之前,曾就读于伊丽莎白港高中。在约翰内斯堡,他和J.Walter Thompson成为了一名商业广告艺术家,随后搬到了伦敦,在那里他还做过兼职服务员。西奥从学生时代起就对皇室充满了兴趣。1947年他在柯克伍德岔道,目睹了当时的英国国王和王后,以及伊丽莎白和玛格丽特公主,被当时人群中伊丽莎白公主的超凡魅力所吸引。几年后,他前往汉普郡的法恩伯勒的圣米迦勒修道院,瞻仰了拿破仑三世的陵墓后,决定从此励志撰写有关皇室的传记。
由于其文笔娴熟细致,文风雅致幽默,遂即逐渐成为皇室忠实的记录者,甚至被是视作为是皇室的铁杆仰慕者。他对很多皇室成员做过访问,其中包括,阿斯隆的伯爵夫人,爱丽丝公主(1981年,在其逝世后不久所发表的传记),皇太后,和玛格丽特公主,以及几个宫廷侍臣。这位短小精干的男人所醉心地聆听着所有的这些受访的者的陈述,在互动中,轻微地阿谀之词之间,而绝非是沉闷地恭维。
作者身前共著有23本书,在塞默塞特郡的弗罗姆去世,享年73岁。
