Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. British actor Hugh Grant was arrested in Los Angeles, California after propositioning a prostitute on Sunset Boulevard. What was her name?

Answer: Divine Brown

Grant was arrested on June 27, 1995 for lewd conduct, pleaded no contest, and was sentenced to two years probation. Since the incident with Grant, Brown has appeared on the "Howard Stern Show", and has posed for "Penthouse" magazine.
2. Perhaps the best known affair in British history was the longtime affair between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. What was the name of Camilla Parker Bowles first husband?

Answer: Andrew Parker Bowles

Camilla and Andrew married in 1973, three years after she met Prince Charles at a polo match. At the time the royal family believed Camilla was not a good match for Charles. He later married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. Rumors of the affair between Charles and Camilla led to the divorce of Charles and Diana in 1996. Camilla divorced Andrew in 1995 and married Charles in 2005.
3. What was the name of the Duchess who was accused by her husband, the Duke of Argyll, of having had affairs with 88 men during their 14 year marriage?

Answer: Margaret Campbell

In 1951 Margaret became the third wife of Ian Douglas Campbell, the Duke of Argyll. Due to her infidelities, the Duke sued for divorce in 1963. To help prove his case in court he produced a list of 88 men the Duke believed had had having sexual liaisons with his wife.

The list included a number of government officials and a few royals as well. Needless to say he was granted his divorce and later that year married his fourth wife Mathilda Mortimer.
4. Antonia de Sancha is an actress who had an affair with a British Member of Parliament in July 1992. What was his name?

Answer: David Mellor

Mellor, who was married at the time of the affair, was also involved in a scandal involving the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) which coupled with the de Sancha sex scandal, led to his resignation in September 1992. Mellor was elected to the House of Commons in 1979 and became the Chief Secretary to the Treasury in 1990.
5. The Profumo Affair is a well known scandal in 1963 involving John Profumo, the British Secretary of State for War and a showgirl who was also the mistress of a Russian spy. What was her name?

Answer: Christine Keeler

In the middle of the Cold War it was not a good idea for the Secretary of State for War to be having an affair with a British showgirl linked romantically to Yevgeny Ivanov, the senior naval attaché at the Soviet embassy in London. The affair led to Profumo's resignation and eventually brought down the government of British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan in October 1963. Joanne Whalley, listed above, played Keeler in the 1989 movie "Scandal" about the Profumo Affair.
6. Which former conservative politician was accused of having sex with a prostitute named Monica Coghlan in 1986?

Answer: Jeffrey Archer

The tabloid newspaper the "Daily Star" accused Archer, a Member of Parliament and a deputy of the Conservative Party, of having sex with prostitute Monica Coghlan. Archer later sued the "Daily Star" for libel and won. Archer was later found guilty of perjury during the libel case against the "Daily Star" and was sentenced to four years in prison for his crime.
7. Sara Keays is the former personal secretary and mistress to which former British Secretary of State for Trade and Industry?

Answer: Cecil Parkinson

Parkinson was elected to the House of Commons in 1970 and later was the chairman of the Conservative Party. His 12 year affair with Keays, which also resulted in a pregnancy and birth of a girl named Flora Keays, led to Parkinson's resignation in 1983.
8. In 2006, which former Deputy Prime Minister admitted to having a two year affair with his diary secretary?

Answer: John Prescott

In April 2006 John Prescott, the British Deputy Prime Minister to then Labour Party Prime Minister Tony Blair, admitted to having a two year affair with his diary secretary, Tracey Temple, from 2002-2004. This after Temple had sold her story to the "Mail on Sunday" newspaper for 250,000 GBP. Prescott however did not resign immediately following his confession, but did finally resign after Tony Blair resigned as Prime Minister in May 2007.
9. This member of the House of Lords is also one of the richest men in Scotland. He was involved in a sex scandal in Monte Carlo in 2008. Who is he?

Answer: Irvine Laidlaw

Baron Laidlaw was secretly filmed by the British tabloid "News of the World" at the Hermitage Hotel in Monte Carlo with four female prostitutes and a male gigolo. There was also some drug usage caught on camera. The 65 year old Baron later admitted to suffering from a life long battle with sex addiction and checked himself into a clinic in South Africa.
10. This British Baron was imprisoned in 1954 for homosexuality. Who was he?

Answer: Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu

In 1954 he was convicted of "conspiracy to incite certain male persons to commit serious offenses with male persons." In 1957 the case against Baron Montagu led to the creation of the Wolfenden Committee report of 14 leading religious, political and legal scholars, who recommended that homosexuality between consenting adults in private should not be a criminal offence. These laws against homosexuality, however, stayed on the books until 1967. Baron Montagu's case is often singled out as being very instrumental in the decriminalization of homosexuality in Britain.
