I don't think it was anyone terribly famous like that, Ken (how come you
know all about our Limey royal families? suspicious...)- it *was* a
specialist work for perverts dealing in recherché circumstance of
long-forgotten executions etc....DON'T ever say the L word about or to
Blair - he might have you summarily extradited - ooh, I forgot, he only
permits the American authorities to do that with British citizens for
any 20-year-old-or-so charges without a whiff of substantial evidence,
while the US authorities wouldn't hand over Bluebeard - or a Nazi
scientist; our Ton' will eagerly grovel (at anyone else's expense) where
Uncle Sam is concerned. And his soldiers do the same dirty work on Iraqi
prisoners, but it takes a pharmacist's assistant for the facts to come
out at all - no independent Army investigations in the land of Official
Secrets (meaning practically everything you might ever want to know).
