Mandy Rice-Davies

Now, Stephen Ward, as well as being an osteopath, has a number of side hustles.

He has these weird relationships with young girls like Keela and this other woman called Mandy Rice Davies, who's about the same age.

In fact, I think she's even slightly younger than Keela.

And they're all engaged in what you might broadly call sex work.

So this is also from Denning.

On the 14th of December 1962, she went to 17 Wimpole Muse where she was visiting Marilyn Rice Davies.

So at this point, she's moved out of Ward's house and this other girl, Mandy Rice Davies, is living there.

At about 1pm, Johnny Edgecombe showed up in a minicab.

At the club, Keeler met and befriended two people who would play important roles in the Profumo affair.

Mandy Rice-Davies and Stephen Ward.

Rice-Davies was a showgirl like Keeler, while Stephen Ward was a successful osteopath who had a lot of high-profile clients such as movie stars and politicians.

A short while later, Keeler had moved in with Ward, although she insisted that their relationship was purely platonic, more like a brother and sister.

Just focus on the end goal.

[laughs] And I mean, you know, there's an element of Mandy Rice-Davies there.

You know, he kinda, he would say that-

Mm

Yeah, he says not, but you would expect him.

Now, that's the Mandy Rice-Davies.

Uh, you, he, he would say that, wouldn't he? Um-

Yeah

Well, he would say that, wouldn't he? To quote Mandy Wynne-Williams.

Not Mandy Rice-Davies, I should say.

Yes, he would say that.

Yes, Mandy Rice-Davies, who said it in the context of the Profumo scandal.

And this is the reality.

All they do is rattle off abuse about fake news and they move right along.
