Mark Connolly Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 That BBC "If you want to complain, just give us your email address and we'll send you our stock response later" is shitebaggery in the extreme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Settle. The piece said they first met when she was 13 on a particular occasion. It didn't say he fell in love with her at that stage at all. I don't think ordinary citizens get jailed for being in someone else's presence.The reporter said they met at Dartmouth when Elizabeth was 13, after which they began regularly corresponding with the young Elizabeth falling in love almost immediately. The meeting between the two was arranged by Lord Mountbatten, that’ll be good old uncle Mountbatten who had a fondness for children (allegedly), who was delighted at the meeting between the two calling it a great success.The queens cousin even wrote in her autobiography that she was “truly in love from the beginning” 18 year olds grooming 13 years old nowadays would get the jail, it’s behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlion Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I can understand some folks’ grief. This lassie was practically related to him, if you really think about it long enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 None of that was in the BBC report at lunchtime today that you were commenting on.There was definitely a mention of her being 13 in the radio coverage in the afternoon. It was as part of an interview with a woman who knew them back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it said she was 13 on the TV bit too, when she visited Dartmouth with her parents and first met him. That was all though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why the papers are bothering there can't be a single fact about his life that hasn't been covered in great detail by the TV and radio coverage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In years to come the paperboys union will be taking the royal family to court for causing spinal injuries in paperboys. They didn’t take action after Diana, haven’t learned their lesson even now and they know it will be worse in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geriatric Gay Romance novel "The Captain and The Duke" coming to Amazon self publishing soon. It's a slash, surely? That's why it's called 'slash fiction'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
