Nelson used the expression 'the Nelson touch' on more than one occasion, and its origin has been the subject of debate amongst historians. A favourite suggestion is that it derives from a line in Nelson's favourite play, Henry V (Shakespeare): 'A little touch of Harry in the night' describing how the king would calm his soldiers on the eve of battle.

  • Nelson used the expression 'the Nelson touch' on more than one occasion, and its origin has been the subject of debate amongst historians. A favourite suggestion is that it derives from a line in Nelson's favourite play, Henry V (Shakespeare): 'A little touch of Harry in the night' describing how the king would calm his soldiers on the eve of battle. Nelson also wrote in a private letter to Lady Hamilton about 'the Nelson touch, which we say is warranted never to fail'. Seen in this context it is easy to see why some have seen it as a private sexual joke between the two lovers (a little touch of Nelson in the night).
