A Note on the Author

Born in Palma, Majorca in 1933, Prince Rupert Loewenstein lived in London and Paris, and studied medieval history at Oxford before becoming a stockbroker for the American firm Bache & Co. In 1963 he formed a consortium that bought the merchant bank Leopold Joseph & Sons. Five years later he met Mick Jagger and managed the Rolling Stones’ finances until 2008. Prince Rupert lives in Petersham, near Richmond, with his wife Princess Josephine; they have three children.
