I wonder who played the Trojan horse? He or she made an entry into the coterie, got the most guarded secret out and made it public too. If it is a journalist activist belonging to the most preferred minority community, a finger may be raised at a promiment Muslim journalist. Our meek Manmohan had once talked that the Muslim community had the first claim on Indian resources and a member of the same privileged community has stabbed the scion in the back by writing about he having some issues with his brain. Et tu brute, thus said Julius Caesar, when Brutus, his trusted friend, thrust his dagger into Ceasar's body. In India silence is golden. So the prince and his mother have preferred to be silent on the issue. In any case, the uncrowned Queen too had some undisclosed problem, which the surgeons of New York fathomed to find with their surgical knives but partly failed and partly succeeded. The details are state secret, notwithstanding the Indian tax-payer paying all medical and non-medical bills through their nose.

Is the princess not well? No one is venturing a guess - paternal or maternal. Let us leave it at that and wait for an opportune moment to quizz the 41-year-old bachelor boy on his ailment. Take care not to ask such questions when a South American woman called Veronica is within a hearing distance. Please do not probe the problem further - lest you are charged with making public what once was a state secret both in New Delhi and Rome.
