MummieDeckTheHallsOutHunnie · 29/11/2010 22:01

flyme, I remember in the early 90's it was common knowledge abroad Andrew was the queens racing managers son, there was a news backout over here at the time, and no one seems to have heard of it, apart from you!

MagnamOfChristmasCheer · 29/11/2010 22:03

I have heard the same rumour about 10 years ago that allegedly all of Fleet Street are aware that Edward is the smoke screen for another royal Wink

ladyfirenze · 29/11/2010 22:04

actually, some of that's not very nice... i only like the harmless funny stuff!

PerArduaAdNauseum · 29/11/2010 22:06

yy - I remember a journo friend saying there was a d-notice on both the real father thing and his being gay - which is why SF got a decent settlement.

Oh, all that drinking with random strangers in the 90s finally paid off Grin

Flyme · 29/11/2010 22:07

Ah. i just heard a snippet on the radio I think mentioning a 'love child' of the queens and A was the only one who seemed obvious. Fancy. Well there's precedence for the acceptance of Harry then.
My sister told me he had homosexual leanings about 20 years ago. She had a journalist boyfriend at the time.

MummieDeckTheHallsOutHunnie · 29/11/2010 22:11

what's a d notice? oh I really hope that if the father thing comes out that all those people over the years that looked at me with sceptical faces, and remember !

PerArduaAdNauseum · 29/11/2010 22:16

From wiki:

In Britain, the original D-Notice system was introduced in 1912, run as a voluntary system by a joint committee headed by an Assistant Secretary of the War Office and a representative of the Press Association.

D-Notices and DA-notices are merely a request and therefore not legally enforceable and consequently news editors can choose to ignore them without (in theory) official repercussions, although they are generally accepted by the media. In 1971 all existing D-Notices were cancelled and replaced by standing D-Notices that gave general guidance on what could be published and what could not, and what would require further advice from the secretary of the Defence, Press and Broadcasting Advisory Committee (DPBAC). In 1993 the notices were renamed DA-Notices.

As of 2008[update] there are five standing DA-Notices:[1]

DA-Notice 01: Military Operations, Plans & Capabilities
DA-Notice 02: Nuclear and Non-Nuclear Weapons and Equipment
DA-Notice 03: Ciphers and Secure Communications
DA-Notice 04: Sensitive Installations and Home Addresses
DA-Notice 05: United Kingdom Security & Intelligence Special Services
On 8 April 2009 the Government issued a DA-Notice in relation to sensitive anti-terror documents photographed when Assistant-Commissioner Bob Quick arrived at Downing Street for talks about current intelligence.[2]

On 25 November 2010, the Government issued a DA-Notice (types 1 and 5) in relation to sensitive documents expected to be imminently released on the website WikiLeaks. [3] [4] [5]

MardyBra · 29/11/2010 23:12

Why would Edward be happy to be a smokescreen? Or does he have no choice about it?

MerrilyDefective · 29/11/2010 23:14

I always thought Sophie Wessex was a beard.

scottishmummy · 29/11/2010 23:57

was a beard,what does that mean?a euphemism

MerrilyDefective · 30/11/2010 00:05

A beard is a cover (girlfriend) for a gay bloke.Sad
