Royal Historian Hugo Vickers Embarks on New Romance with 'Plastic Surgery Queen' Cindy Jackson
Hugo Vickers, the esteemed royal historian renowned for his meticulously detailed biographies of the Royal Family, is now making headlines for his own personal life. At 74 years old, Vickers has separated from his wife and is enjoying a passionate romance with American Cindy Jackson, 70, who is famously known as the 'queen of plastic surgery'.
A Surprising Love Story in Later Life
'We have been together since last year,' Cindy Jackson revealed in an exclusive interview. 'People have been surprised. They didn't realise that people could experience such joy at our age. I tell them that it's a plot twist and this is our final chapter.'
Jackson, who once modeled herself on Barbie, reportedly underwent a world-record 52 cosmetic treatments back in 2011. She now describes herself as an aesthetics and anti-ageing specialist. Her romantic history includes a relationship with James Hewitt, Princess Diana's former lover, which ended in 1999.
'I knew James had a terrible reputation and my friends warned me to stay away from him,' Cindy recalled about her time with Hewitt. 'Stupidly, I thought I was the one who could change him. But now I know I was wrong. He is a total rat. I trusted him and he repaid me by breaking my heart.'
Vickers' Personal Background and Modern Approach
Eton-educated Hugo Vickers has three children with his second cousin Elizabeth Vickers, whom he married in 1995. Reflecting on their early meeting, he explained: 'I first met her when she was six. She was a little girl on a tricycle. That was in 1970, when I was 18.'
Vickers has demonstrated a modern approach to relationships, joking about his marriage: 'I'm a thoroughly modern man. I've allowed my bride to keep her maiden name for professional reasons. One has to make concessions.'
Travel Hiccups and Public Revelations
The new relationship hasn't been without its challenges. Recently, Cindy was delayed at airport passport control while traveling to Germany, where the couple is promoting Vickers' latest book about Queen Elizabeth II, which is being serialised in the Daily Mail.
She took to social media to share her experience: 'Held up at passport control again for not looking 70, as my passport states.' This humorous incident highlights the age-defying effects of her extensive cosmetic work.
