Henshall claims the relationship involved private meetings and personal details that were not publicly known. The article describes her account as including encounters that she links to time at or near the Palace, as well as handwritten love letters. It also reports that the relationship had physical and daily-life indicators, such as a name written on clothing, and that she later appeared “bleary-eyed,” suggesting the relationship affected her sleep or routine in the following days. The report further states that Henshall believed her meetings included the late Queen, though the details are presented as part of Henshall’s recollections rather than independently verified public information. Across the available sources provided here, the key point is that Henshall publicly discusses alleged personal involvement with Prince Edward, framed as a private relationship kept out of public view.
