'A taboo subject’
NZPA London Roderick Llewellyn, the 30-year-old companion of Princess Margaret, said in an exclusive interview in the London “Sim” newspapex that he is anguished by his friendship with the 47-year-old princess, the Associated Press reported. Princess Margaret announced officially 18 months ago she had separated from her husband, Lord Snowden, and newspapers began linking her name with Llewellyn, son of Olympic show-jumping gold medalist. Sir Harry Llewellyn. In the interview, Roderick Llewellyn said his friendship for the Princess was “a very difficult and unique situation for me.” He added: “I cannot talk about my feelings for the Princess or her feelings for me. That is a taboo subject. “As for the future, all I can say is that for the moment I must remain an enigma. I am tired of hiding in cupboards — I think the time has come to hold my head upland smile.” Llewellyn said in the interview that he had met the Queen but added, “I cannot tell you how or where I met her, but it was informally.”
