PHILIP NAMED IN FBI PAPERS ON PROFUMO

Claim Prince 'involved' with Keeler and her pal

- PAUL BYRNE

PRINCE Philip was named in top secret US documents about the 1960s Profumo affair.

They reveal the FBI was told of a rumour claiming that he was personally "involved" with models Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies.

Last night, Keeler's son Seymour Platt, 51, said: "This is another piece of evidence that supports my mother's telling of the scandal. Whether it's these FBI files or the MI5 documents released last October." Keeler and Rice-Davies were at the centre of the sex scandal that brought down the Tory government.

In March 1963, John Profumo, the secretary of state for war, denied having a sexual relationship with Keeler, when he was 46 and she was 19.
