David Guyatt Wrote:Precisely my thoughts too. He was related to the Queen Mum and knew here quite well (probably her secrets too). He might've been a traitor but since he saved the royals family from extreme embarrassment at the end of WWII he was saved from prison for 15 years by patronage - even though he confessed in 1964. I never fully understood why Thatcher finally outed him in 1979 - but then Thatcher was a spook's moll and doubtless was doing the bidding of the the right-wing elements in MI-5, as suggested HERE.
I wonder if Blunt's published memoirs are free of judicious state editing?
Thatcher said it was because she could see no reason for cover up....I never think of Maggie as a champion of transparency some how. Can't remember any other matter in which she seemed so intent on bringing it to the light of day. I do remember that her relationship with Mrs Windsor was not always the easiest.
Pretty sure that the state wouldn't be able to resist doing some editing...
Victor Rothschild's role in this and several other matters is crying out to be told. Didn't he bank roll Thatcher too?
