Blonde denies romance with Duke of Kent

February 20, 1955

A 35-year old woman, Rona MacLeod, idignantly denied as "utter nonsense" a suggestion of a romance with the 19-year-old Duke of Kent.
Miss MacLeod is an hostess at an Austrian ski resort, where the Duke is on vacation. She said she was a "chance partner" at a carnival dance when a photographer snapped a shot of the Duke with his arms around her.
The photo was published in London newspapers, which arouse speculation of a possible romance for the young duke who is a first cousin to Queen Elizabeth II.
