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.

I always say if you're giving an aide coke, make sure it's in a plain envelope and not one with your name on it. Not that it's true. It's a lie.

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.

*Spokane, Washington, metro area.

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?

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 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]

I have every confidence in Sine's superior understanding of such matters of etiquette.

I've written a book! Catherine's Pascha: A celebration of Easter in the Orthodox Church. It's a lovely book for children. Take a look!
