If you knew a foreigner had called your wife nasty, but you then found he was visiting this country and you found you were both invited to the same party, how might you respond?
My thanks tnsweted my question. It must be difficult for her husband. I have little time for the royal family, but at least they do not use their privileged positions to engage in public vendettas.
If it was me, I don't think I would be able to avoid giving the visitor the opportunity to explain his views to me but, as I said, this is hypothetical.
