Mandy Rice-Davies met Christine Keeler when she moved to London and later moved into Stephen Ward's Wimpole Mews flat with Keeler.
The two became lovers and Ward at one time even proposed to her.
Mandy Rice-Davies was alleged to have had a relationship with the then Viscount Astor whose pool party in July 1961 at Cliveden, Buckinghamshire became notorious for the meeting of Christine Keeler and John Profumo, the British Secretary of State for War.
