About Christine Keeler

  • Christine Margaret Keeler (22 February 1942 – 4 December 2017) was an English model and topless showgirl.
  • Her meeting at a dance-club with society osteopath Stephen Ward drew her into fashionable circles.
  • At the height of the Cold War, she became sexually involved with a married government minister, John Profumo, as well as with a Soviet diplomat.
  • A shooting incident between two of her other lovers caused the press to investigate her, revealing that her affairs could be threatening national security.
  • In the House of Commons, Profumo denied any improper conduct but later admitted that he had lied.
  • This incident discredited the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan in 1963, in what became known as the Profumo affair.
  • Keeler was alleged to have been a prostitute and, although this was not a criminal offence in itself, Ward was found guilty at trial of being her pimp – a trial only instigated after the embarrassment caused to the government.
