Prince Philip Linked to Profumo Affair in FBI Files

Recently released FBI documents have named Prince Philip in connection with the infamous 1960s Profumo affair, a scandal involving sex and espionage that brought down the British government. According to a memo written by then-FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, American businessman Thomas Corbally claimed there were rumors of Prince Philip's involvement with Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies, two women central to the scandal. Stephen Ward, an osteopath and key figure in the affair, was known to have connections with Prince Philip. The documents, now available due to a Freedom of Information request, corroborate elements of the storyline depicted in the Netflix series 'The Crown'. The Profumo affair had significant national security implications, involving high-profile figures and Soviet espionage during the Cold War.
