About Lady Elizabeth Shakerley

Lady Elizabeth Georgiana Shakerley was a British party planner, writer and socialite from the Anson family. She was a first cousin once removed of Queen Elizabeth II and sister of Patrick Anson, 5th Earl of Lichfield. Following the stress of planning her own debutante ball in 1959, Lady Elizabeth founded the firm Party Planners in 1960. Thus, she became known as Lady Elizabeth Anson.
