Review - The Prince and the Jellicle

By:

In this amusing and somewhat bittersweet interview with the BBC, Ruthie Henshall tells of being smuggled into Buckingham Palace regularly after performances of Cats in order to visit her secret boyfriend, Prince Edward. Though she was in love with the British royal, the relationship ended because she knew she could not continue her theatre career if they wed.

But my favorite part of the interview is the way she describes her first reaction to meeting her eventual husband, Tim Hower:

"When I met him my ovaries were screaming, I knew he was the father of my children."

Ah, those reserve and understated Brits.
