The astounding suggestion that British royalty was involved in the shameful mess was almost a guarantee that the paper would be bought and the story read to the last word. The trick was a familiar one to British readers, wise to the ways of the brazen innuendo, the veiled hints of Fleet Street's popular press.

The Brookes had three pretty daughters, who grew up in England and were known to every tabloid reader as Princess Gold, Princess Baba and Princess Pearl. At a glittering society wedding in 1933, Gold became Lady Inchcape, but Baba and Pearl were toasted in every pub when they were married: Baba to a wrestler, Pearl to a bandleader. Stockpiling Heads.
