Additional Details

7 October 1989: ". . . It was lovely to meet you at last!

16 November 1989: ". . . All of us are thrilled to bits with this month's (or rather December's) copy of Vogue--thank you for asking us to be involved in the article. . . ."
5 March 1991: ". . . Alas, I fear that there aren't going to be any photographs released for my birthday in July--there is too much of a build up towards the 30th & ten years of marriage. . . . I do feel terribly that there is far too much of this lady in the media! . . ."

"It will always be a reminder of a very special day with Patrick & the team!"
23 January 1992: ". . . I felt a lot of excitement in you as you start your new life in America. It's thrilling to be asked to fill such a post as 'they' obviously think an enormous amount of you across the waters & I know you'll make a huge success of your new role. . . ."
