Robert Montagu says: "There’s a huge amount of shame and a huge will not to cause damage within your family.
"I wrote the first draft when I was 16 and I’ve probably done ten versions since then.
"I always intended it to be written as a novel but then I came to realise in the last three months it had to be done as a memoir.
"If you want the message to come across that people should be brave enough to speak out, you really have to put your name to it and write it with people’s names as they are."
"After all, as a therapist I spend my life advising people to tell what’s happened to them, and I can’t therefore continue to take cover under my own story and disguise it. It’s not an honest thing to do...
"I could lose all contact with my brother... It’s going to give him problems walking round the House of Lords and I sympathise with him but I’m afraid I can’t spare him... I’ve spared him for 55 years."
