There is no doubt in my mind at all. The Duke of Edinburgh has had affairs - yes, full-blown affairs, and more than one.

Now, I think perhaps I got it wrong over Prince Philip. I think he loves pretty women, and he likes flirting, but I'm not sure how important actual sex is to him, put it that way.

You check off stories to make sure if they're true or if they're right.

The links between the British and the Dutch royal families are strong - Queen Beatrix's grandmother, Queen Wilhelmina, was evacuated to Britain during the Second World War. But that doesn't mean they share the same attitudes.

It is true that I am a writer, and I was married to a composer, and I have lived in a small village in New England, but my children are not named Heracles and Persephone, and my daughter doesn't disappear underground every six months and emerge in the spring.

Losing Jane was tragic and I thought I'd never get married again, or have more children, or would even ever want to.

Being married has not affected my career at all other than just making me happier to be on the road.

I think it all comes down to relationships - how I treat my wife, how I treat my kids, how I treat the guys at the grocery store, all aspects of every day, what I'm involved in.
