Truth of Pat Kirkwood-Prince Philip's alleged relationship to be revealed in new play

The personal letters of British Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip, which he had written to U.K. screen legend Pat Kirkwood, will be revealed for the first time in a new play. The musical play namedPat Kirkwood is Angry,which iswritten by opera singer Jessica Walker, is based on Kirkwood’s life. The play, starring Jessica herself, touches on her marriages, divorces and the rumoured affair with the Duke of Edinburgh.

Walker reportedly got an access to letters written to Kirkwood by the prince, through the royal biographer Michael Thornton. Thornton said, "My instructions, in accordance with Pat's will, are that these letters are to be shown to no one except the Duke of Edinburgh's official biographer, after his death”. “Jessica Walker, therefore, has not seen the actual documents, but I have been so impressed by her research into Pat's life that I have drawn her attention to brief significant pages in the letters, and these are what she will be quoting in her play," he added. The play is scheduled to be premiered tonight at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, England.
