73 - Anna Pasternak

This week's difficult woman is someone who has scarcely been in the public eye but who has always brought a storm of controversies when she does make the headlines. Her first taste of difficulties was when she published her bombshell account of Dianna's love affair with James Hewitt. Hounded and criticised by the mainstream press unwilling to believe the remarkable story, her vindication would come years later as the story was revealed. Her second major controversy has proven considerably more stressful, embroiled in a copyright feud that could cost her a reported £2million. Defiant to the last Anna is certainly a woman who knows how to stand her ground!
