Maggie Meller was a French-born woman who worked in a brothel before becoming a courtesan. From 1917 to 1918, she had an affair with the prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) and went on to marry Egyptian aristocrat Ali Kamel Fahmy Bey, who she killed in 1923 at the Savoy Hotel in London. She was eventually acquitted of the murder charge.
