Roddy Llewellyn |
Roderic Victor Llewellyn (born 9 October 1947 in Monmouthshire, Wales) is a British landscape gardener, gardening journalist, author and television presenter.
He is the younger son of Sir Harry Llewellyn, an Olympic gold-medalist in show jumping, and his wife, the former Christine Saumarez. His elder brother is United Kingdom Independence Party politician Sir Dai Llewellyn. Llewellyn has written gardening columns for the Daily Star, from 1981 - 1985, and The Mail on Sunday from 1987 - 1999. He was also the presenter of The Home Show (1990) and The Gardening Roadshow (1992 - 1993) for Thames Television.
In 1973, Llewellyn, then 25, became the companion of Princess Margaret, who was 43. The highly publicized eight-year affair eventually led to the dissolution of the princess's long-troubled marriage to Lord Snowdon.[1]
Roddy Llewellyn is married to the former Tatiana Soskin, a daughter of the film producer Paul Soskin, and has three daughters, Alexandra, Natasha, and Rosie.
