Pamela says the four of them - father, mother, daughter and Nehru (who was a widower) - would walk out together but always with Edwina and Nehru together side by side up ahead.
"My father and I would tactfully fall behind when they were deep in conversation. But we did not, at any time, feel excluded."
Mountbatten, she said, "trusted them both".
