She was also a very loyal wife who gave up her career to help him as an MP. She of course knew he could never be monogamous as he had had previous affairs.

Also how could a man of his stature and position not realise tha Christine was a Kiss and Tell Girl ?

Christine Keeler was a Man Magnate and me of all ages were attracted to her like moths to a flame.
It did not matter that she had slept around, and smoked like a chimney and had a mouth like a sewer when angry.
She was naive, and had no idea that she was playing with fire, consorting with a high ranking MP and a Russian Spy at the same time.

That was the Era when may high ranking figures and MP's had affairs and as a matter of course blind eyes were the order of the day.
Mistresses were passed around like 'Pass the Parcel Including Royal Mistresses.

All this makes for very entertaining TV.
Good post says it all.

And no way even after the court verdict was she a Prostitute.

To any one to say she was is disgusting.

Found it hard to watch this series.

Re: The Trial of Christine Keeler.

I was only 10 in '62, remember the scandal, but not the detail.

I'm currently enjoying binging this on iPlayer, top period drama where I feel I was there, daddy drove a Jag like that, the cops drove cars like that .... loving it.

Re: The Trial of Christine Keeler.

I'm hooked, loved the miniseries, and now I need to know more.

Here is an excerpt from the Stephen_Ward Wikipedia page:

Ward introduced Keeler to Profumo, who was greatly attracted to her and promised to keep in touch. Ward later reported to MI5 that Profumo and Ivanov had met, and that Profumo had shown considerable interest in Keeler. This information was an unwelcome complication in MI5's plans to use her in a honeytrap operation against Ivanov which might secure his defection.
unwelcome complication .... hmmm
