The Profumo Affair was the political scandal of the twentieth
century. The Tory War Minister, John Profumo, had been sleeping
with the teenage Christine Keeler, while at the same time she had
been sleeping with a Russian spy. The ensuing investigation
revealed a secret world where titled men and prostitutes mixed, of
orgies and S&M parties. The revelations rocked the British
establishment to its core and lead to the resignation of the Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan. And seemingly at the centre of it all
was one man, Dr Stephen Ward. Stephen Ward was many things to many
people. He was a successful osteopath to an establishment list of
clients. He was a part-time artist who had drawn portraits of
members of the Royal Family. To some he was a 'provider of popsies
to rich people'; a man who knews lots of pretty girls of flexible
morals. And finally, when the scandal came crashing down on the
government, he was a scapegoat, put on trial and, ultimately,
hounded to his death. The Secret Worlds of Stephen Ward is the
definitive investigation into the Profumo scandal and the life and
mysterious death of the man at its heart.
