Heya,

Yup, this was discussed in the media from time to time back when BBM was new on the scene.  People used to speculate about whether her brother being gay had an impact on Anne's decision to take a role in BBM.

Here are two threads about it.

It sure sucks!!!! I cannot come to terms with it.I will be in the middle of something mundane,then WHAM, it hits again.I end up crying,and feeling silly.To think how scathing I was when Princess Diana died.I cringe when I think of some of the things I thought about the outpouring of grief.I truly thought the country/world had gone mad,Fast forward,and here am I.!!!!

Peachy:
I don't know if this has been posted in here but as it's just been Heath's birthday... there's a website at
http://houseoffame.blogspot.com/ called Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog, written by 'Geoffrey' in ye olde English.  It is very funny, and I've just found this poignant, Knights Tale style entry written back in February.  The olde words make it tricky, but the gist of it's quite clear for fans of Sir William Thatcher. :)


"Thogh my pen is but a sely thing, bettir fit for ditees and smal jokes and puns, yet ich koud nat but trye to write sum few lynes of rym for the memorie of my good freend, the which ich share heere. Ich knowe that newes of his deeth hath long ben known, and many wyse folk have seyd thinges of hym, yet tak this rym-doggerel for my part.

A COMPLEYNTE ON THE DETH OF SIR WILLIAM THATCHER, SUMTYME YCLEPED ULRICH VON LIECHTENSTEIN

Yif al the woe and teeres and hevinesse
And eek the sorwe, compleynte and wamentynge
That man hath heard in thes yeeres of distresse
Togedir were y-put, too light a thynge
It sholde be for this yonge knightes mournynge.
Withouten hym this world can no wey plese,
Fulfild it is of shadwe and disese.

In sorwe and teeres and eek in hevinesse
Stand Roland, Wat, and Kate, his compaigyne,
(And eek mynself, the forger of noblesse):
Sir Deeth wyth falshede and wyth sorcerye
Hath slayn thys knight who never feered to dye,
Of honor nat of lyf took Ulrich kepe.
A see of teeres nys nat ynogh to wepe.

Proud Deth, yower trophie is our hevinesse,
Your heraud may ful loude yel and crie,
For thou hast slayn the flour of hardinesse:
Sir Ulrich knewe the herte of chivalrie
And evir daunce he coud to melodye;
A silent yere he spent oones in a toun
In Itaylye to understonde a roun.

This feble world fulfild of hevinesse
Offreth us nat but wo, o welaway!
No thyng it hath may us give restfulnesse
For yisterday was noblere and moore gay
Than thys clipt peni that we hold today.
On Ulrich spende yower XII last silver teeres
Syn now departid aren hys golden yeeres.

He chaungid hys sterres, ros out of lowlinesse,
Bicam the man that fyrst did make me thinke
Our dedes nat our birth bring gentilesse –
And when ich was depe in the dice and drinke
He bought my pants ayein, it is no nay
May hevenes blisse repay that charité!
For blessed on erthe are al who had the chaunce
To walk the gardyn of his turbulaunce.
