Mary Wilson

Their marriage was built on a strong foundation - Her money!

It was Nehru.

An open marriage suited them . Let’s not point fingers at the likes of Edwina Mountbatten , women had affairs, some with men in positions of power some with the milkman

Did I say she had an affair with Ghandi? No I didn’t so stop posting things I didn’t say MB -OK?

An open marriage suited them ab ? But what about their marriage vows - you know those really really important marriage vows that JC apparently plays fast and loose with.

Oh wow - did you see what I did there? I brought JC into a thread first

I always felt rather sorry for Mary Wilson as she seemed to my young eyes to cut a rather sad figure. Being married to Harold perhaps wasn't that easy, who knows, Marcia and all that certainly led to speculation! I remember her saying in a rare interview that she liked the popular song 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' (don't know when I'll be back again) was that telling us something?!!

Bl**dy h*ll, did I ever say you did MaryEliza?
Anyway, I got it wrong, it was Nehru! but it was a strong rumour at the time and since.
Don’t be so touchy.

Jane10, Anniebach and all those who will have spluttered into their coffee.
A more credible rumour than my bonkers version!

Don’t try ? with me MB re Ghandi.

Hello, “sarcasm” what sarcasm?
Here we go again.
Fight, empty room, go figure.

Don’t be so touchy - don’t tell me what to be - I wonder why I might be touchy today?

You go figure - ??????????. I’ll go and find a thread with some grown ups

Hormones?

Actually you will no doubt tell me.

Just before I go - here’s a suggestion MB why don’t you go and start a thread ‘Why is maryeliza so touchy today? ‘. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of support.

An open marriage means both parties agree to conduct their marriage this way , it does not mean ‘my way or no way’

I'd love to join in on this topic but the usual angry and aggressive posts deter me. I wonder how many others are put off too? Can't we just discuss the subject OP started and leave the bile out of it please?

Wives of politicians ?

Heaven's above, ladies!!! We're discussing the demise of a much admired and respected political wife aged 102, not who slept with whom in c1946!! Frankly who cares!! ( it was Nehru!!!) Yes I remember Lord Boothby, Lady Dorothy, and the whispers connecting him to Ronnie Kray. (Princess Margaret?) Harold Macmillan behaved with great dignity as did Mary Wilson in the face of swirling gossip. I think certain people did in those days and we all thought the more of them whatever their political persuasion. Just my opinion before I get leapt at !!

If it's safe to post now . ..... I heard someone on Radio 4 yesterday morning say that MR was a very kind and gentle woman. When he was suffering with dementia, in later life, she accompanied him to formal dinners, made sure that he was immaculately turned out and guided him through social situations. Her deep love for him lasted to the end. She was deeply loved and admired by her family and friends for being kind and loyal. A good way for anyone to be remembered, whoever they are.

Sorry for gobbledegook on previous post. I'm on a mobile phone and the screen is miniscule.

Mary Wilson also had to put up with the rumours surrounding Harold and Marcia Falkender.
