Few Profumo Affair documentsTelegraph
•70% Informative
Christine Keeler kept her green Harrods appointments diary for 1962 the year before she exploded to fame as the girl who sparked the Profumo Affair .
A year earlier she had met John Profumo , secretary of state for war, at Cliveden , Viscount Astor’s Buckinghamshire seat.
Profumo began an affair with her, who also had a fling with Yevgeny Ivanov , the Soviet naval attaché, which at the height of the Cold War was a clear security risk and a huge indiscretion.
Now that diary, along with her passport and the heartbreaking letters she sent to her mother from prison, are up for sale at Sothe .
The most poignant items in the sale are Keeler ’s letters from jail to her mother and stepfather.
Her passport is also hugely significant as it helped us date some of the key events in her life, especially with regards to her trial, and when she fled to France to get away from Lucky Gordon .
Seymour Platt is now seeking a pardon for his mother's conviction.
Though estranged, Keeler ’s father, Colin , sent her a telegram at the beginning of her 1963 perjury trial.
The diary, passport and letters are being auctioned as a single lot, with an estimate of 8,000-12,000 .
Few Profumo Affair documents survive: the principal figures didn’t want to record what they were up to.
