Nehru and Edwina
Witness goes back to 1947 and the rumours of a love affair between the glamorous wife of Britain's last viceroy and the Indian prime minister.
As India gained its independence from Britain, the last Viceroy's wife was falling in love. Edwina Mountbatten's younger daughter, Lady Pamela Hicks remembers her mother's deep love for India's first post-independence leader. She talks to Witness about Pandit Nehru's charm and sense of fun, and the correspondence that continued until Edwina Mountbatten died.
