That’s because he was well aware of how his family was held up to press scrutiny and public interest interest and intrusion into their daily lives. He knew that any woman would also have to live this kind of unbalanced lifestyle.

Royal watcher Ingrid Seward wrote the book Prince Edward: A Biography. According to her, Edward once said, “It’s not going to affect me at all because my anonymity has gone and I accept that. But you become very conscious of the feeling that if you try to get to know anybody they are just going to suffer a stigma for the rest of their lives.”
