Sarah Bradford : (3) " The links between the British and the Dutch royal families are strong – Queen Beatrix’s grandmother, Queen Wilhelmina, was evacuated to Britain during the Second World War. But that doesn’t mean they share the same attitudes. " - Sarah Bradford " I do feel sorry for the Prince of Wales, waiting and waiting, while his mother looks better and better.

" - Sarah Bradford " There’s things you just don’t ask, because if you did, the interview would be over very quickly. " - Sarah Bradford
