We are living in a tabloid world and ....

I'm a tabloid girl. (Sung to the tune of Madonna's Material Girl tune.)

In today's Globe and Mail as well as in other media with no delusions of propriety this gossipy little 'news' item appeared.

Six love letters written by Prince Charles to a woman living in Canada, revealing a long-term romance between the pair, are attracting potential buyers after being put on sale for $30,000 on eBay this week.

The letters, addressed only to a Janet, are thought to have been sent by the Prince in 1976 and 1980 to Janet Jenkins, a British-born woman living in Montreal at the time. ...

The letters are suggestive of a long-running affair. In one dated June 8, 1980, Charles laments that on a recent visit to Canada that his staff wouldn't have approved of Ms. Jenkins visiting his hotel room.

"I can see that I shall just have to get married as soon as possible and then all these people might relax a little ...!" the letter, written on Windsor Castle letterhead, reads. "Don't worry, whatever happens I will make sure you are given early warning ..."


I googled Janet Jenkins; I've pretty much eliminated the deacon photographed with her husband and the lesbian mom as possibilities for the ex-paramour of Chowls.
