Just before the advent of the social media age, Charlie’s Dimbleby biography and interview opened the floodgates and led to controversial books from his first wife and son, and now here we are.Maybe a tad harsh, but isn’t this a case of ‘what a tangled web we weave, when we first practice to deceive’ ?
Or perhaps more pertinently ‘when we first practice to keep quiet’ in the face of massive world wide public interest.
Charlie might now regret binning the old family motto of ‘never complain, never explain’ that served the old Queen so well.
