‘You’re a menace,’ he says, as Alex leads him back up to his bedroom. ‘Dragging me away from a perfectly civilised evening. Your mother is going to think I’m some sort of insatiable crazed sex demon.’
‘Sweetheart, I think everyone in this building – everyone in the entire world – already knows that. Besides, I’m pretty sure they all think I’m the insatiable crazed sex demon.’I love harder now, I think. My family has been great, my friends are great—’ He turns to Prince Henry. ‘Henry is… tolerable, I guess,’ he says with a smirk, but his eyes are soft. The love between the pair of them is as plain as day.
There is one last question the world is still burning to know the answer to: what really happened between the two of them at Prince Philip’s wedding with the cake?
Alex sighs and laughs, and Prince Henry does the same. They look at each other and it’s clear this may be a question that not even the two of them fully know the answer to. ‘I still maintain he pushed me, Henry will say I pushed him, but the rest?’ Alex smirks, and there’s a knowing, playful glint in his eyes. ‘Well, it’s history, huh?’For so long, Henry spent his life walking around wearing steel armour; chainmail, heavy and dull, to protect him from the jagged lances, the barbs and the bullets laced with typewriter ink. Then Alex came along and removed it, link by aching link, and changed each inch of Henry with the gentle brushes of his fingertips. He took the contents of his heart, solid shining gold, and channelled it into Henry, like alchemy.
