Journalist, Dame Anne Leslie recalls a conversation with the Prince’s uncle, Lord Mountbatten, in which she berates him for advising the young heir to the throne to marry a virgin.
She told him “You’re mad, I mean this is the seventies. There cannot be a virgin in the land.”

The Prince was once snapped on a beach in Australia, when a young girl in a bikini ran up to the royal and enthusiastically tried to kiss him.
An expert said: “There is obviously going to be special interest to the heir to the throne.
“Where he went or whatever he did there is going to be a camera or somebody to pick up something he might have said or going to somebody ‘did he say this?’.
“There was always a picture of him and even in Australia when he came out of the sea there was a girl chasing him and trying to kiss him, it never stopped.”
