That is true, according to Chris Blackwell and the liner notes on Pressure Drop. The picture was taken in October of 1975, when Geraldine Edwards was eighteen years old. She had met Robert Palmer that same year.
Chris Blackwell, who was the owner of Island Records, the label Robert Palmer was signed to from 1974 to 1989, quoted in 1987 "In my opinion, Geraldine Edwards sold as many copies of Pressure Drop as did Robert Palmer. Quite a few men bought the album just for it's cover photo. It was risque but I went with it. The seventies were a time of expansion in every way, including the widening of boundaries and what was considered socially acceptable. It shocked some but I as willing to take the risk."

That is Geraldine Edwards, who was Robert Palmer's fiancee at the time of his death. The picture is taken from the cover of 1975's Pressure Drop. Geraldine Edwards posed for the picture when she was eighteen years old. Geraldine Edwards is also the main inspiration for Penny Lane in Almost Famous. On a strange note attached to robertpalmer.org, the forum attached to the site for comment, which was moonfruit.com, had to be suspended due to the fact that individuals were writing in to the site claiming to be Mark Palmer, Robert Palmer's younger brother and also using the tag "The Palmers" alleging that they were aggregatetly Robert Palmer's parents and children acting in concert as a whole regarding their opinions. Robert Palmer's family came forward to say that they had never written to the forum, and that the individuals writing billing themselves as Robert Palmer's family were imposters. It was bad news because some members of the forum had started a personal dialog with these people believing that they were interfacing with bonafide members of the Palmer family. Otherwise, the site is excellent in terms of professionalism and visual appeal. The sites disclaimer stating that they were not responsible for comments made by individuals vis-a-vis the moonfruit forum scandal cleared the site of any legal wrongdoing.
Why do not website of Robert palmer list geraldine Edwards as his girlfriend?
The website you are referring to is not the official website of Robert Palmer, in other words it is not mandated by his family or friends. The Palmer family took down their official website in 2006. The reason that Geraldine Edwards name does not appear as Robert Palmer's girlfriend is that she has not given the site permission to use her name or to post any pictures of her. She has deferred to the Palmer family in this matter, in addition to which the woman has moved on with her life and is now happily married and has been so for years. The only member of the Palmer family who participated on this site in any way was Robert Palmer's brother, Mark Palmer, and he only did so in a peripheral way, by leaving a commerative blog on the site remembering his brother. Beyond that he does not endorse the site. By all accounts Geraldine Edwards is a very private person and does not court publicity for herself. She would prefer not to be listed on any site about Robert Palmer not approved of by the Palmer family. She was also the woman Almost Famous was written about and turned down offers to have a website created for her. She prefers to remain annonymous.
