Jackie Kennedy and Lord Harlech, William David Ormsby-Gore, in Cambodia in the 1960s - vintage black and white photo, gelatin silver from 1967-68
Original black and white photo of Jackie Kennedy and Lord Harlech in Cambodia in 1967. Lord Harlech was an adviser to Jackie Kennedy's late husband, President John F. Kennedy, during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The big question regarding Jackie Kennedy and Lord Harlech was brought up on February 29, 1968 in the magazine Paris Match, which wondered whether the mega-star Jackie Kennedy would marry Welsh Lord Harlech.
The photo shows Jackie Kennedy and the British Lord Harlech sitting together in front of a temple in Cambodia.
William David Ormsby-Gore, the 5th Baron Harlech actually proposed to Jackie Kennedy, who rejected him. It emerged in 2017, when a number of love letters were auctioned by Bonhams Auktionshus in London (which later bought Bruun Rasmussen). Instead, she married Aristotle Onassis later in 1968.
Dimensions in photo: Approx. 22 x 16 centimeters.
Modern frame included.
This is an original photo from the late 1960s with ordinary traces of use. Uneven edges.
Text on the back of the photo:
"Will Jackie marry???

The world's most gossipy question is now quite definitely: Will Jackie Kennedy marry Lord Harlech??
The magazine Paris Match comes out today with two full pages devoted to the subject.
Mrs Kennedy, who is at present in New York, and Lord Harlec, who is in Bermuda, have both said that they are not planning to marry, denials which have had the effect of increasing speculation.
Photo shows:
"The picture that didn't quite start the rumours, but at the same time didn't quite stop them". Mrs Kennedy smiling, apparently at a remark Harlech has made at idyll outside a temple in Cambodia during their recent visit there."
The Quirkyness of things is all too easily pushed aside and forgotten in a busy life with many chores. Therefore we have dedicated ourselves to introduce a certain amount of quirky things - to make you smile or wonder.
