   Would I be right to think that you don't believe the first part of this,   
   i.e. the idea that they were friends for many years? In which case, I   
   would agree with you. But then it would hardly be very strong to cite   
   the second part as if it were gospel...   
      
   Me? Well I have an open mind as to when they started their relationship,   
   just as I do about who 'Prince' Harry's father is. I do think it's   
   interesting that she phoned Hasnat Khan so much from the yacht.   
      
   Anyone who thinks Rosa Monckton is a reliable witness BTW is extremely   
   naive. Buying the engagement ring kind of speaks much louder, to put it   
   mildly.   
      
   We should always bear in mind that tycoons' yachts get used for stuff   
   that people want to keep very secret from snoopers. Sometimes very   
   high-level stuff indeed. This is part of the reason they have yachts.   
      
   The idea that they were playing up to the press during the whole of each   
   of their stays on the yacht...is untrue IMO. James Andanson in the   
   helicopter...just a hack photog, I don't think so.
