LikeDylann, that's just it, I didn't read it, I heard it from a nurse working in the nursing home- she told my aunty who lived there in Ireland
And the pub bore told me that he was in the SAS and another sad old drunk told me he was on Aston Villa's books and would have been a professional footballer but for a knee injury and I've lost count of the number of people who claimed to be in an early line up of Black Sabbath. In fact I'm a Nigerian prince who needs to get a £1m pounds out of the country and I just need your bank account details to facilitate the transfer.
People lie to make themselves look important or in the know or pass on baseless rumours as if they were fact.
Couldn't give a rat's ass about whether it's true or not, but interested to see how bristly some are about it.
So why repeat it then? Your post annoyed me because you didn't engage your critical faculties and work out the course of events you suggested was utterly unlikely and there was no credible evidence.
She was the eighth child and not the heirless to the title and if they couldn't cope with the 'shame' of having a daughter with a birth defect, they could have quietly shielded her from view or packed her off to an institution as the Queen Mother's sister in law did when her children were born with learning difficulties.
The whole charade with a cook with whom her father was having an affair and happened to get pregnant at exactly the same time as his wife and who had thus given birth at almost exactly the same time and was able to do a quick switcheroo when it was discovered his wife's child was brain damaged is so too fetched to be believed. If you'd engaged your noggin for a second you could have worked this out.
The other inconvenient thing is that the Queen Mother bears a very close resemblance to her mother. So not only would a baby have to be on hand, it would have to strongly resemble his wife, rather than its own mother. See the picture of the Queen Mother's mother below.
Id say the odds are high that Catherine will have an affair sometime. I'd take a bet on it. Who wouldn't when all the heirs are born?
You seem weirdly and creepily fixated by this.
Well consider this far fetched possibility ... she could actually be in love with her husband. Neither of them do a great deal for me in either the personality or attraction front, but perhaps they y'know love each other and are compatible. There's plenty of friends where I think 'don't fancy yours much' about their partners but they seem blissfully happy with one another.
Also, I'm sure there's people on this thread who've finished with childbirth but aren't leaping into bed with all and sundry, especially not their brother in law.
