Kiki Preston
After Prince Harry admitted in January 2002 to drinking heavily and smoking marijuana at a bar near his father’s Highgrove estate when he was 16, there would be a minor scandal that would see the young Prince shipped off to Featherstone Lodge Rehabilitation Center for one whole day.
But that would be nothing compared to the antics of his great-great-uncle and his relationship with an American socialite.
The great-great-uncle in question was Prince George, Duke of Kent, fourth son of King George V, and considered the original modern royal wild child.
The jazz-obsessed, sexually voracious bisexual brother of the future King Edward VIII of England (we’ll get to him), found the royal life stuffy and stifling and would do anything to escape its mundanity, which he would do in spectacular style when he met New York-born Kiki Preston.
