Profumo affair witness outlines poolside intrigue in 1961
Stephen Ward testified in his trial that Christine Keeler was involved with John Profumo at a London flat. He recalled the Cliveden estate swim meet and said Miss Keeler’s swimsuit began to slip while others present watched, though he denied she was nude. Ward added he believed Keeler saw Profumo at his flat and claimed only a possible isolated encounter with Soviet captain Ivanov. He described introducing Christine and Mandy Rice-Davies to Douglas Fairbanks Jr. to aid their acting ambitions and said his early feelings for Christine were not reciprocal, though Mandy attracted him strongly.
