This may go some way to explain why Churchill expressed no regrets over the carnage of World War II. Why would he regret having so successfully accomplished all he had set out to achieve? Such was the appalling misery heaped upon mankind, it would have been perfectly natural for any government leader, regardless of political persuasion, to express remorse.
In her biography, she concedes that ‘Churchill’s pale pink underclothes were made in very finely woven silk.’ She added that he spent something like £80 on them.
