Geordie Greig

Geordie Greig attended Eton College and St. Peter’s College, Oxford, before beginning a career in journalism. He has worked at the Daily Mail, Sunday Today, and the Sunday Times, where he became the arts correspondent and later the American correspondent based in New York. He returned to London to become the Sunday Times literary editor. He is now the editor of the Mail on Sunday and remains a director of Independent Print, Ltd., and the London Evening Standard.

Members of Greig’s father’s family have been royal courtiers for three generations. Greig’s grandfather, Louis Greig, is the subject of his biographical work, The Kingmaker: The Man Who Saved George VI, which recounts the life of Greig and details his time as mentor, physician, and friend of the young Prince Albert, who became King George VI—and the subject of a hit movie, The King’s Speech.
