An extract from her memoirs:
One evening I was at the Royal Opera House for some gala performance and was talking to [Princess Margaret] about what we had seen when Chris Smith came over (the then Minister of Culture, who is gay).
“Have you met Chris Smith, our Culture Secretary, Ma’am?” I asked.
She peered at him.
“And this is his partner,” I added.
“Partner for what?”
I took a breath. “Sex, Ma’am.”
She stalked off.

Who cares?
HeHe, I might have tried to go for something a little more sutbtle like partner in life.
I am in a gay relationship. There is a little more to it than sex.
Not that any-one cares. (ironic)
Doesn’t it say volumes on what Cherie Blair’s view of gay relationships really is.
Princess Margaret would have moved in circles that included many gay people.
I think this bit of her memoirs shows just what a vulgar person she really is and what her real views of gay people are.
IAW Colchester Pete.
Any indication what Chris Smith’s views on this were? Because Cherie has a very clear self-congratulatory tone right there…
