In an essay called "London Grandeur"[1] Phaedra Kelly says that de Lambray claimed she would be "the most famous transgenderist ever and die dramatically at the age of 30".
She would place a large "Vicky de Lambray – Entertainer" sign in the back of the Rolls and drive for hours around central London or park outside Harrods.
In March 1983, a senior British civil servant, Sir James Dunnett, was questioned by Scotland Yard detectives over a brief sexual encounter he had had with de Lambray in the early years of his retirement.
Official concern over this liaison stemmed from the claim of the prostitute that a Soviet spy had also been among her clients at that time, a circumstance which might, given Dunnett's former position at the Ministry of Defence, have constituted a security risk.
Gay News carried a short article in September 1983, saying de Lambray was a convicted High Society art thief and apparent MI5 tempter/temptress, and noting her brief sexual relationship with Captain Anatoly Zotov, former Soviet Naval attache.
[5] In May 1986, detectives investigating a series of homosexual murders found de Lambray's name listed in a suspect's address book.
