Royal Family Affairs and Relationships

Royal family do is they pass mistresses on.

So, um-

They what?

They, they, they kind of pass the mistresses on to

another member of the royal

family. It's, it's like a sort of

game of pass the parcel.

Pink one. Yeah.

Yeah. Pass the parcel. Um, and, uh, so one of these women also became

Philip's mistress, and, um-

Wait, the f- the father?

So, so, um, she was a lot younger. Actually, this happened with two different

women. Uh, um, uh, and, um,

but I never thought I would be moving on to doing, for example, a book on Philip.

So now I can begin to talk to some of these people again because I w- I kind of

didn't blow it with, with them. I didn't all,

didn't say everything I could have

said.

Mm.

But yeah, they were odd. I mean, there's, there's one woman,

I mean, this is now very much in the public

domain, but Mountbatten had an

affair with a woman who was 40 years younger than him,

who was his goddaughter.

Uh, and then, uh, she was then passed on to,

to, to Philip, who was only 20 years older than her.

Is that the one whose child died?

Uh, no, that's not Penny Mountbatten.

Okay.

No, it's someone called Sasha Abercorn, but another of those aristocrats.

Yeah.

So they kind of keep it very much within a very tight little group.

Yeah.
