Well said Guinevere, This thread is about Tommy Cooper and his personal arrangements, so why mention anyone else, and in any case I don't think that finance (which we were primarily discussing) would have been, or is, an issue with the Royal Family!!!!! I don't approve or disapprove of adultery and I certainly don't have a problem with Charles and Camilla, in fact I like them, (shock horror!!) and I think they make a happy and seemingly contented couple who have done no more or less than thousands of other married people over the years, and yes 'saintly' Diana was an adulteress too and less than perfect like most of us, in case we've all forgotten that!, but I do think adultery can lead to a lot of heartache, and that a mistress in particular can find herself in a in a very vulnerable position and perhaps needs to understand that at the outset to save future disappointment!! |

I don't dislike adulterers per se, Merlin, although I disapprove of adultery because it's more honest to end one relationship before moving on to another. |

No but as you dislike adulterers (As I do) just wondered what was your opinion of them, |

It takes two to tango, nobody MAKES anyone be someone's mistress, and if you are in that position, you must know the score, ie, at the end of the day a wife wins out every time because if a man is serious about his mistress he will leave his wife for her and make HER his wife. Sometimes this happens, but mostly it doesn't - endless promises are not the same. I'm afraid men will always be men for all their fine words, and it's a foolish woman who doesn't after a period of time realise this, and 'make hay etc', 'cos when that sun goes in she will be left in the cold, and having to resort to 'dirty tricks' and 'dirty washing in public' to get your hands on someone else's money, in ALL respects is not very edifying and certainly not very dignified! |

He is a very rich man I can assure you ,where she could reduce his money. She knows what she is doing the same as what that Mary knew she was doing. At the end of the day you cant help who you fall in love with x |

My daughters friend is a mistress and also has a daughter by him. She knows the score. He pays for her to live the good life. She has many lonely holidays in Dubai etc where he cant make it. She snatches her time with him. He keeps his daughter and I should imagine if anything happens to him his daughter will be provided for. She knows she will get nothing. I cant see her writing a book about him. |

I don't altogether approve of men who keep mistresses. Any decent man wouldn't have a long term mistress, surely? And if he did have one. any half way decent man would have provided for her after his death. |

So what, she was only a mistress NOT a wife. It was a particularly spiteful thing to do and not one I would have thought any decent person would approve of. |

He left her out of the will - she has to make money somehow. |

From what I have read about Mary Kay and her son, they have exploited the media for their own purposes. The son claims in the press to have been a close friend of the whole family, yet he refers to Tommy's daughter Vicky as Victoria, a name she never used and neither did the family. Bit of a giveaway I would say. |

I thought it was based on his mistress' book - if she didn't know him well then who would? |

Maybe Bruce Forsyth should get started on his bio-pic now, so that he has a chance to see it and respond in his lifetime. |

I didn't care for Tommy Cooper's humour, but I think it is just horrid to denigrate a person when they are no longer here to defend themselves over what is their personal and family life. I didn't see the programme as I didn't want to have to see what was frankly none of my business to make a judgement about. What he was or wasn't in private is nothing to do with anyone except his family. He gave a lot of people a lot of pleasure and I think it is shameful to 'burst that bubble' for no other reason than 'MONEY!!' |
