India Hicks: Born Into History, Living Between Worlds

In this episode of Violet Manners in Hidden Heritage, Violet is joined by designer, writer and entrepreneur India Hicks - a woman born into history who chose to build her life somewhere entirely her own. The daughter of Lady Pamela Hicks and the legendary designer David Hicks, India grew up at the intersection of royal history and radical interior design. Her mother stood at the heart of 20th-century royal life. Her father reshaped the visual language of Britain’s great houses. And yet India chose Harbour Island in the Bahamas. In this conversation, India reflects on: Growing up between tradition and reinvention Who Lady Pamela truly was behind closed doors The influence of Lord Mountbatten Her father’s creative audacity Recording the podcast conversations that brought her mother’s voice to a global audience Life in the Caribbean beyond the postcard image Her work with The King’s Trust Marriage later in life Reinvention, resilience and legacy A conversation about identity, inheritance and choosing your own horizon. 📖 India’s books: India Hicks: Island Style – https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0847841957 India Hicks: Island Life – https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/084784851X Luxe Tours: https://www.heritagexplore.com/luxe/ Learn more about your ad choices.
