India Remembered: A Personal Account of the Mountbattens During the Transfer of PowerIn a section titled “A Special Relationship” Pamela writes: “My mother had already had lovers. My father was inured to it. It broke his heart the first time, but it was somehow different with Nehru. There existed a “happy three-some” based on firm understanding on all sides”
