|summary=Kathleen Lyon, whose family were respectable and hard working but with no claim to celebrity other than a distant relationship to the [[The Man Who Was George Smiley: The Life of John Bingham by Michael Jago|Earl of Clanmorris]] married Michael Christiansen, scion of a newspaper family, in a fashionable London church in 1948. Both were talented and successful journalists and they were very much in love. ''I know you're going to be happy'', wrote a senior Fleet Street figure and Rupert Christiansen wryly points out that this was too tempting to fate. There were two children of the marriage and when Rupert was four and his sister Anna just a few months old Michael Christiansen announced to the family that a photographer from his paper would be coming to take pictures of them all that afternoon - and he then told his wife that their eleven-year marriage was over and he was leaving to live with his secretary.
