Margaret Thatcher had two extramarital affairs, a New book claims,
East Prime Minister Is said it was fun An “extracurricular friendship” with a close colleague who touched her knee during dinner, while she also had two affairs throughout her life.
Tina Gaudoin’s new book, casual feministclaims that iron lady there was one Affair at the beginning of career as one MP And a separate case with another politician.
Ms Gaudoin cited multiple sources who told her that Baroness Thatcher was involved with someone else “very early in her parliamentary career”. The author claimed that she was later “probably” involved with Sir Humphrey Atkins, MP for Spelthorne.
according to many times, Ms Gaudoin said during a discussion about her book at the Cheltenham Literature Festival that she was told: “The joke about Atkins was that the guy who wasn’t very good kept getting promoted. Why was that now?”
Sir Humphrey was Chief Whip under Edward Heath when the Conservatives were in opposition and then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 1979 to 1981. He was married to Margaret Spencer-Nairn and had four children, and died in 1996.
One source cited by Ms Gaudoin was former Conservative minister Jonathan Aitken. Asked about an affair with Sir Humphrey, Mr Aitken said: “There were rumors to that effect at the time. His good looks might have attracted her, but his political mind was hopeless.”
Sources reportedly told him that Lord Bell, Baroness Thatcher’s PR chief, had an “extra-curricular friendship” with the PM, and that “one of her favorite things” was Lord Bell putting his hand on her knee during dinner “and other stuff”.
In his book, he wrote that Lord Bell was “unlikely to reach what the Americans termed ‘third base’ (or even first or second)”.
Lord Moore, who wrote Baroness Thatcher’s autobiography, told many times He saw “no evidence to support” the Atkins rumor.
He said, “I’ve heard the Atkins rumor in the past… My own belief is that it’s unlikely to disappear. I’ve never heard the Tim Bell rumor before. Again, I think it’s unlikely to disappear.”
At the Cheltenham event, Ms Gaudoin said Baroness Thatcher was “normalising women’s power”.
He said, “There’s an element among women that really doesn’t like him just because they don’t like him. I think we really owe him a great deal.”
He further said, “Many of the people I spoke to said that he [Thatcher] She was sexier than she looked.
“A lot of people said there was definitely a panic when she walked into the room.”
