      It’s interesting you say that. I am not generally attracted to conspiracy theories but my cousin told me about Saville in 1976, as he was in Stoke Mandeville hospital. I found it hard to believe at the time but looking back, if l, a spotty teenager in Ipswich knew about him then, thousands of other people must have known.

      ⁠@@garethjenkins6273For the FBI to accuse the Mountbattens of being sexually unconventional is a bit rich, considering that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover lived in a cosy domestic arrangement with his boyfriend, an FBI agent whose name I can’t recall.
      Hoover’s private hobby at home was dressing up in women’s clothing, which could have been a harmless perversion if the mob hadn’t obtained photos of Hoover in drag. Which they used to keep the FBI off their backs through the later years of his reign.
      Hoover was susceptible to blackmail, unlike the Mountbattens, whose kinky behaviour was known to many, many British people - the rumour was that both of them took turns bonking Nehru separately and together, and nobody really cared. The British public have long accepted that the aristocracy operates by a different set of rules.
      In retrospect, there might have been more fuss about Lord Louis’ taste for Irish teenage boys had it been more generally known, so the IRA’s decision to blow the old bugger up when they did came at just the right time.

    There are more revelations that even today would never be spoken of. So can only be qualified as gossip. Various people, unknown to each other so the gossip obviously comes from different places, assert that Nehru and Mountbatten were also “involved”. The fact that the queer Mountbatten was distant from his wife’s bed shouldn’t surprise. He was in the Navy, and cruising is the main activity in every meaning of the word. Other allegations were that he was a regular visitor to various boys “homes”, including the notorious Kincora boys home in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have even heard discussed that he wasn’t assassinated by the IRA in Northern Ireland, but by British Secret Services because of his behaviour there, not wanting the scandal to become public. Even down to the child who died in the bomb attack being present because of Mountbatten’s appetites.
    But who will ever know the truth? Not in this century, and probably the next either.

He happened to have been dating a foreign model or something like that at the time. IF, you go back into Google and type in "Prince William, 1960s" you'll see a picture of THAT particular Prince William that I'm speaking of.

She had no qualms at all in helping every Indian citizen she could and that needed her.

    Oh for goodness sake. It wasn't a rare and salacious arrangement. It's a fairly standard marital arrangement in 'British Aristocratic Circles'. They were all a bit salacious. To some degree or another. Gossip upstairs and downstairs. It worked in some case, where both parties were agreed and kept to whatever rules/social boundaries were set. It worked in some where one party was a bit slow on the uptake but found it preferable once they'd caught up. It really caught on in places like Colonial Africa.
    In some cases it really, really, didn't go well at all. This was one of those. If anything was leaked that the Royals particularly didn't want getting out, or was on the general list of undesirable stories, it would be hushed up. For the most part, it might appear in jokes or songs for a while. Or the public would choose to disbelieve it. They don't even have to employ Executioners in modern and enlightened times.

He went further in India when he was Viceroy rushing through the partition as he couldn't be bothered stating there for the agreed duration of his tenure. Millions died as a consequence.

    The affairs among the upper classes was rampant, chief sport at society weekends at mansions was who was sleeping with who. I laugh when conservatives look back at the victorian period as a moral zenith, it wasn't, not by a long shot.
