A famous actor had a gossipy father. He was well-versed in the secrets of high society and of diplomatic and royal circles. (This is the father, not the actor, you understand.)
One of his favourite stories, which he gladly recounted at top dinner parties, concerned a prince of a European dynasty who had a youthful but short-lived affair with a lowly palace maid. What was surprising about this story was that at this stage of his life the prince was rumoured to be gay… especially in the world in which the gossipy father’s son moved.
