"When my father died, Colin [Stone] was made my legal guardian. He was always a close family friend, but I always thought Harry was my biological father." Then, one afternoon when they were on holiday, Orlando's mum sat him and his sister down. "I found out that Colin was my real father. Not Harry. But Colin." That must have been, well, a surprise? "It was, it was... It's an unusual story but then, you show me a family and I'll show you an unusual story..." |
