I remember when this happened, and reading that Mountbatten, who still loathed the Japanese for their methods and treatment of British prisoners in Burma and Asia in WW2, had insisted that no Japanese officals be in attendance at his funeral. In another story, I think he was the British Raj top dog at the time of Indian independence in 1947, and its civil war leading to the creation of Pakistan. Some time after, he and Lady Mountbatten went to Pakistan to visit its first independent ruler, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who was known to be a massive stiff. Jinnah had prepared a cute little line to say with them in front of the cameras, expecting that LM would stand between himself and Lord Mountbatten for an official photo. Instead, they positioned Jinnah between themselves, but being a stiff, he said the line anyway, which was, "Ha ha, a rose between two thorns." And there was general discomfort all around. 😂
