It is widely acknowledged today that Lady Mountbatten was a lesbian, and a rich
one at that, then the richest woman in Britain : her consort, Lord Mountbatten,
was known as a poor Royal. The so called 'romance' with our famous politico
was something that would be labelled a gag, in the U.S. In any case, i do not
believe they ever meant to convey that message: it would have been fatal to
their careers. They were an urbane products of class, where a man is expected
to 'take the arm' of a friends wife when spending 'an evening' together. The
politician, subjected to an arranged marriage, was widowed when in his
thirties. He had left behind the ivy clad walls of Cambridge, and the likes of
Society figs ( and traitors ) McLean and Burgess, and returned home in the
company of a fellow barrister, a Marxist who was entrusted with the safety of
the nation, and who we remember as the architect of the Chinese border war
fiasco: they would live in adjoining homes for thirty years.
Moraes knew them intimately, as university student union debaters, on the
legal circuit, and over a long career of reporting and editing. He made gentle
references to the ' effeminate ' gentlemen, which, for the times, was brave,
and saw the book 'The Lotus Eater of Kashmir' banned in India.
