naomi - // There would be a question mark because Lady Hussey worked closely with the late queen for 60 years and did the job without complaint. Suddenly there is a complaint - and upon investigation it transpires that it comes from someone who has already wrongly accused the royals of racism and domestic abuse. //
Your naivity surprises me.
In your endless efforts to exonerate Lady Hussey from her creation of this whole sorry business, you are determined that she must be blameless.
Why?
Because she has worked for sixty years at Buckingham Palace!!
If you can think of an organisation more rigidly class-conscious and utterly expert at keeping its dirty linen under wraps, then I can't.
Just because no accusations of bad behaviour have not reached the outside world, it is naive in the extreme simply to assume that there must there be none.
Things get hidden, for decades, but it doesn't mean that they didn;t happen, merely that we didn't hear about them, but that is not the same thing at all.
Remember Jimmy Savile?
Oh hang on, I can think of an organisation more rigidly class-conscious and utterly expert at keeping its dirty linen under wraps than Buckingham Palace - it;s the BBC.
And who was Chairman when Jimmy Savile's crimes were being commited as a matter of course on BBC premises, while its employees looked the other way?
Marmaduke Hussey - late husband of the same Lady Hussey.
I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
