A Love Story Riddled With Scandal
Lee and Michael Temple Canfield had an on-and-off romance for years. Not only was he devilishly attractive, but he also inherited a tiny publishing business money. He met all of Lee’s requirements, but there was more. Many suspected he was the Duke of Kent’s illegitimate love child with his mistress, Kiki Preston. Lee and Michael chose to marry while they were together. Their wedding took place on April 18, 1953, at her stepfather’s Merrywood home. As you can guess, it was every girl’s fantasy wedding, complete with beauty and glamor. Lee’s wedding was much more important for her because she had beaten her sister to marriage. Lee was pleased, but her family was not.
