Harold Wilson had a secret affair during his second term as prime minister with his deputy press secretary, Janet Hewlett-Davies. The affair had remained undisclosed for over 50 years until it was revealed by his former press secretary, Joe Haines, in an interview with The Times.
Wilson's former adviser, Bernard Donoughue, disclosed the long-hidden secret after Hewlett-Davies' death, stating that they kept it concealed originally to protect Wilson from potential harm. Donoughue clarified that the revelation was important for the historical record of Harold Wilson.
