MY INITIAL reaction on glancing at the front pages of some newspapers on Monday morning was that they were promoting a new tinseltown release of ‘Romeo and Juliet’.

Closer inspection however revealed that it was a theatrically posed picture of a middle-aged couple, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, emulating a pair of lovestruck teenagers, for release to the world, to accompany the announcement that they are expecting a second child.

Which reaffirms, of course, their much-publicised desire to lead a more private life, away from the media spotlight.
