It's a lie about me and Lord - well, you know who. Not that I'm naming names, mind you. Because that just wouldn't be right. And I’m not the kind to 'snort and tell' anyway. Not even for £50,000.
But it's not TRUE.
No matter what they say in Australia.

Scotland Yard and the British Courts seem to be sympathetic to your desire for privacy.
I understand how embarassing this must be for you, but do you think it would matter to your public at large?
After all, we didn't hold it against HRH Prince Charles when his fondest ambition was to become an hygenic aid...
Have you thought that it might be best to face the Current Uproar and beat it down?

I must say though...it sort of gives new, uh, depth of meaning to the term 'aide'. Obviously good help is NOT hard to find in certain circles.

St. James West, pray for us now and in the hour of our need.
Maybe the Royals need to buy a castle near Spokane? My partner earned his undergraduate degree in the Inland Empire.* From some of the stories he has told me, it would be a good place for the Royal Family to set up shop. That city even seems to cater to "straight" men having sex with other men.

I'm still hoping that the preacher who promised me that God was more interested in what happened in our boardrooms than what happened in out bedrooms was right. So, completely incurious except... Except, now that this relationship has been announced via a backdoor, are the two of you planning to produce the thirteenth in line by adoption?
...Or does asking that question take this out of Hell and into Dead Horses?

If there were, one trusts it was a priceless Oriental. "Slumming it" with the servants is no excuse for letting one's standards slip.

I admit I AM curious as to why You Know Who can't be identified in the British press when everybody in the world with internet access and the least bit of salacious curiosity know who we're (not) talking about.

I believe the 'logic' is that people who are being blackmailed need not fear that their identities - and their alleged misdemeanours - will be splashed all over the tabloids if they go to the police and to court. Stopping the courts doing the blackmailers' jobs for them, so to say.
And one should not confuse a mere Lord with, say, a Viscount - an error that I would not have expected of you, in particular, Sine...

I believe Sine was referring to a Viscount, not addressing one. In any event, Sine would probably be on first name terms.

Maybe because the law recognises that if you want to catch blackmailers it doesn't help to gain the co-operation of the victim if you start by spreading the allegation around.
I just checked the first three US newspaper web sites I could think of (not counting NYT which hates my browser) and also CNN, and none of them names the alleged victim in their main-page news story.

As a matter of fact, a Viscount should properly be referred to as 'Lord X' as well as addressed as such. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

He may be a tart, but he is also a has been. Idaho should take a lesson (or at least Larry Craig).
This is what happens when you go to the police saying someone is trying to blackmail you, but the facts don't add up.
