It’s awash with notifications from her 13-year-old son, Daniel. “Mom”, one of them reads. “Are you and Dad in an open marriage?” The moment is mortifying, a huge “cause for panic”. But her son’s discovery also prompts Roden Winter into telling her story: the polyamory that she did not expect to find herself in, her surprise that it has made her love for her husband Stewart “even stronger”. Of course, nothing is simple when it comes to open relationships, and throughout her various liaisons, Roden Winter’s feelings constantly fluctuate. “I’m determined to expand my sexual horizons,” she writes, “but I’m also scared of getting hurt and losing Stewart”. You can read the except of her memoir here. Elsewhere in our magazine, we celebrate Blenheim Palace, the Churchill family home that has inspired fashion’s biggest designers.
