He combined two qualities: generous loyalty to those he loved, and an acid tongue and pen for those he didn’t. Most of the latter, I tend to think, richly deserved what they got. Randolph Churchill’s public persona was based on the latter quality. In the mid-1950s, surgery revealed that a tumor on his lung was benign. His friend Evelyn Waughburst i...
In youth Randolph was spoiled by his father, who held up his famous cigar for silence whenever Randolph held forth. Worse, he learned to drink, and drink hard, in the company of famous cronies like F.E. Smith, Lord Birkenhead. The outspoken, sarcastic and often boorish result of that upbringing alienated his mother, and their relations were general...
With his prewar good looks and affections, Randolph had many lady loves. He almost married Kay Halle, the Washington socialite. She loved him always, but never doubted her decision to refuse him. His marriages to Pamela Digby, later Harriman, and to June Osborne later, were striking failures. None of his lady friends could really handle him, but th...

Britain’s tabloids pounced. “The Profumos were to all intents and purposes besieged in their own home,” Sir Martin wrote. “In strictest secrecy [Randolph] offered Stour as a sanctuary.” Randolph’s instructions, headed “Operation Sanctuary,” exp...
In 2009, hosting a Churchill Tour of England, we visited Stour by kind invitation of its owners. Sir Martin joined us, returning for the first time since Randolph had died. Tears streaming down his face, he relived his memories. “Gone, alas, like our youth, too soon.” One sees life at Stour as almost quintessentially English-country-house. The furn...
I wrote this piece over thirty years ago in a review of Anita Leslie’s Cousin Randolph. A friend of Randolph Churchill reminded me of it. He thinks it captures Sir Winston’s son. Thus I republish it, with some additions, for the judgment or clemency of readers. Click herefor more on Randolph Churchill, including links to books about him, notes on w...
