Stephen Ward, who was to become one of the central figures in the 1963 Profumo affair, claims to have met Mewes in a doorway in Oxford Street during a thunderstorm at night.
The pair had both worked at Murray's Club in Soho, where Stephen Ward later met Christine Keeler.
[7] In 1953, Mewes gained notoriety as a result of her relationship with Jagaddipendra Narayan, the Maharajah of Cooch Behar, and in 1955, by the manner of her untimely death.
[8] It was said that she died driving back to London from an all-night party at Maidenhead to keep an early photo call,[9] however, the true facts remained unclear.
[10] The car in which Mewes died was being driven by the writer Terence Robertson,[11] author of a number of books, including 'The Golden Horseshoe'.
