Ghislaine de Polignac

Princess Ghislaine de Polignac (5 September 1918 – January 2011) was a prominent member of Paris society, bon vivant, fashion stylist and promoter, and author.

In 1947 she created a scandal after being discovered by her wealthy American host Rosita Winston in bed with her husband, property magnate Norman Kenneth Winston. In the early 1950s she was the girlfriend of drama critic and novelist Christian Mégret. Her intimate knowledge of the relationship between de Rede and Arturo Lopez enabled Mégret to pen a novel based on them called Danaé, which resulted in her deletion for a time from de Rede's famous guest list. Her last relationship was with the fellow bon vivant Baron Philippe du Pasquier.

She was a close friend of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

Death Princess de Polignac died in Paris aged 92 in January 2011. She was survived by two sons and two daughters, and a mass was held for her in Paris on 3 February 2011.
