Boris and Carrie have got married!

I think it’s all a bit pointless really, I imagine it’s for monetary or tax reasons.

It still shocks me about John Major and Edwina - always the quiet ones!
Wasn't it around the same time that Cecil Parkinson had an affair with his secretary, Flora Keys? I remember finding that sad as they had a little girl with health issues and I don't think he supported them.

Baron Parkinson got his secretary pregnant in 1983 Flora is 37 now and was treated despicably by Parkinson.
Edwina was having her affair with JM in 1985 and felt very sorry for Parkinson and his wife and family - but obviously not bothered about poor Norma.

We definitely cannot add Edward Heath to the list - he never married! But he allegedly had a very sinister/secret private life.

Wasn't all the stuff about Heath based on a case that was proven to be untrue. I can't remember the details, something about proof he wasn't there.

Trouble is mud sticks.

Harold Wilson and Marcia ?

My mother was at boarding school with Wilson's wife Mary. Both of them were daughters of clergymen. Apparently Mary was very saintly, prim and proper, (stuck up). Maybe Wilson needed a bit more fun elsewhere?
My mother was a real rogue at school!

We don't need men to put women down do we, we do it so well ourselves.

You are not wrong there theworriedwell

Apologies last two posters. What I said about Mary Wilson being prim and proper was actually taken from the perspective of a 8 to 11 year old school girl.
Sorry for the put down.

I always thought Mary Wilson was a very nice woman.
Nice might seem inadequate and overused, but I think sometimes it is appropriate.
Pleasant? Kind? Decent? Agreeable?

Nice.

I have heard that Harold Wilson stepped down as PM in 1976 because he had been diagnosed with early signs of dementia.

We were invited to a Buckingham Palace garden party in 1992 and saw Harold and Mary Wilson there. He looked very frail and she seemed very caring.

It has often been said that Harold Wilson was Her Majesty's favourite PM.

That's nice Varian. I like the way he was depicted in The Crown and the relationship with HM - very touching.

I heard that too.
