Both the 1963 and 1964 "notes" seem to me like the kind of things that were often said about celebrities at the time - the most frequent then were paternity allegations but literally dozens a week used to be made and dismissed as time wasting. The "Carl Beech" types were even more prevalent and suitably treated (many were against the Royals and other rich people). The one interesting co-incidence is the Duncroft mention but Anna's details about the girl who invited Jimmy to Duncroft for the first time in the 70s were very specific.

and have you ever heard of a paternity suit since??

Jack Nicholson said in an interview he got tired of paying off paternity suit claimants but it was far cheaper than battling them in court.

Now DNA has stopped false claimants.

I've also met 2 claimants who reckon they are the illegitimate sons of Prince Philip. Who knows? My Aunt who ran hotels told me once she had to tell he and a party of rowdy sailor pals (in the 1950s) to stop making so much noise and that they couldn't take a girl up to their room.

One bloke here in Sydney has been dining out on his claimed heritage to Philip..even had a title (he bought it on-line) and was able to bilk a few businesses including a well known Gentleman's Private Club who believed what he claimed.

Apparently he now lives in a Scottish village and the locals laugh at him.
