Caterina Irene Elena Maria Boyle, Lady Saunders (née Imperiali dei Principi di Francavilla; 29 May 1926 – 20 March 2018), usually known as Katie Boyle, was an Italian-born British actress, writer, radio announcer and television personality.

[6] She hosted the 1974 contest wearing no underwear; it had been cut off from under her satin dress moments before the broadcast began.

In 2004 Boyle was a guest on a special Eurovision-themed celebrity version of Weakest Link on BBC One, hosted by Anne Robinson.

In Queen Elizabeth II: A Woman Who Is Not Amused by Nicholas Davies it is alleged that Boyle had a long-standing relationship with Prince Philip in the 1950s.

You can't take legal action because it fans the flames, so you just have to accept people telling complete lies about you.

A keen owner of Yorkshire terriers, she was a committee member of Battersea Dogs Home for more than 25 years.
