Kenneth Vivian Rose CBE FRSL (15 November 1924 – 28 January 2014)[1] was a British journalist and royal biographer.The son of Ada and Jacob Rosenwige, a Bradford Jewish surgeon, Rose was educated at Repton and New College, Oxford.His journalistic career began when he joined the Editorial Staff of the Daily Telegraph, a position he held from 1952 to 1960.Two well-regarded volumes of Rose's journals edited by DR Thorpe were published in 2018 and 2019.A review in The Spectator by biographer Philip Ziegler said: 'He was, of course, a snob — nobody could write a social column in the Sunday Telegraph for more than 50 years without some snobbish instincts — but he was an intelligent one, singularly well-informed, and capable from time to time of administering a sharp bite to the noble hands that fed him his material.
