Years after finding out the truth about her father, Polly – who is now a writer and interior designer – wrote a letter to the Daily Mail in 2008, telling her side of the story.

She said: "Finding out at age 45 that the man I had idolised and put on a pedestal higher than Nelson's Column since I was a small child was not in fact my father was hard burden to bear."

The Daily Mail reported that Polly still attended her father's funeral although he left nothing for her in the will.
