Over the last few weeks there has been much media coverage of the impending visit to Mullaghmore, Co Sligo of the Colonel-in-Chief of the Parachute Regiment, Charles Windsor. Endless column inches and hours of airtime have been dedicated to Windsor, to ‘Lord’ Mountbatten, to their relationship with each other and to the IRA operation which killed Mountbatten. The three others that died with Mountbatten, and their surviving families, have also been routinely mentioned in recent media coverage.
