    At least the MASTER OF DISASTER had an interesting and full life. But he NEVER had self-doubts, the sign of the fool.

      Charles and Andrew were raised by Mountbattens which is how they became Narcissist and sexually deviant themselves.

    They were ahead of their time then, open marriage and acceptance of a different sexuality. Roaring twenties then and now I guess. There is nothing new in human history.

    The real scandal of Dickie was his sponsoring the disastrous, under-prepared and poorly planned Dieppe Raid, and then lying about it (as he did on many other matters) in the obsequious television series "The Life and Times of Lord Mountbatten" which British television broadcast in the 1970s. The series was the crudest form of propaganda.

    People were trafficked? And this was hushed up? Not surprising .............Anything else? People don’t repeat the same story because they have nothing better to do. Kinky too!

    If it is true that he was bisexual then that might help to explain Edwina's numerous affairs.

      NO: Britain refused to come to terms with homosexuality even though they sent their kids to public schools to learn it.It says something about medieval attitudes in Britain that a wife would put up with an arthur/martha husband. Both partners were partial to dark skinned men.And the plutocracy sang the praises of both,inventing him as the hero of the war against Japan and forgetting his total ignorance and incompetence on the Indian sub continent.His sexuality was well known to the FBI but hushed up (of course) in Britain

      Not really. Seems she started cheating on him right after the honeymoon. Look up their biographies. She was bored and empty headed. Her own daughter said she was mroe interested in her boyfriends than her own children. Wretched woman. Seems she was really something else, all on her own. Match made in hell, I suppose. Their poor kids.

      @acommentator4452 yes he was a German-Jewish banker who was ennobled by the King. Many authors do conceal this fact. I emailed the latest biographer of Mountbatten and told him that he had devoted a half paragraph about her descent. He did not really respond.
