The hidden life of Elizabeth Taylor as seen by her son: Her love for Richard Burton never went away'
Briefly

Chris Wilding reflects on his childhood experiences with his mother, Elizabeth Taylor, stating, "Whenever they left the house, photographers would be waiting for them. It was horrible." He shares how desensitized he became to the constant media attention and how it made their lives incredibly overwhelming—an experience difficult for anyone to fathom today. Despite Taylor's fame and iconic status, Wilding’s memories mainly reflect the discomfort and disruption her celebrity brought to their daily lives.
Wilding describes how his mother, despite her ultimate fame and accolades, was simply 'Mom' to him. He comments, "She was so famous and infamous, sexy and scandalous, but to me, she was just my mother." This highlights the dichotomy between public perception and personal reality, showing how even the world's most renowned personalities have intimate family relationships that starkly contrast with their public images.
