Do we know why his parents christened a French boy with an English name? -- JackofOz ( talk) 09:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC) reply

he wasn't christened Henri but changed to henry as was an anglophile -Judith THurman 92.41.64.142 ( talk) 18:11, 17 December 2022 (UTC) reply

The article makes the peculiar and unsubstantiated claim that M. Willy was bisexual. Since no evidence for this exists at all, and since he was a notorious skirt-chaser who was compulsively interested in female conquests (according to Judith Thurman, Margaret Crosland, Genevieve Dormann and other biographers), this should be excised from the article.
