Came up with this when I should be sleeping, so I thought I'd wake everyone else up too.
In the early 90s there was a run of leaks as the divorcing Prince and Princess of Wales fought it out in the media. The big loser in this was Camilla Parker Bowles, who was widely hated especially after a conversation between her and Charles containing an unfortunate tampon joke was reported.
But suppose there was more to that tape. What if that conversation revealed that the reason they hadn't married in the first place was that Camilla was in the British Secret Service and at the time chose her career over him? Among her missions were assassinations of those responsible for the Lockerbie tragedy and subtle aid in Eastern Europe without which the fall of Communism would have been both delayed and far bloodier. No matter what a newspaper's position was, it's unlikely any of them would pass on this kind of scoop if it somehow got past the government.
What would be the fallout from this revelation? Would foreign governments want her extradited? Would the media face problems or even charges for blowing her cover? And would there be any shift in support for Prince Charles and his mistress once it was revealed that the Rottweiler was as deadly as her nickname?
