∙ 11y agoYes, that is true. The late Robert Palmer was close to the current Lord Harlech, who is the head of the Ormsby-Gore family, as well as with Lord Harlech's late brother, Julian Ormsby-Gore, who died in 1974. Lord Harlech remained close to Robert Palmer in his lifetime.
In the 1970's, Robert Palmer and Lord Harlech became business partners. They were partners in an entreprneurial enterprise that purchased and operated small first class hotels, usually with ten rooms or under. At one point, they owned twelve such establishments located in the United States, England, and France. The hotels were valued by those who wished to maintain their privacy. Another principal in this enterprise was Chris Blackwell, the then owner of Island Records. He was friends with both men and agreed to invest in their endeavor.
A scandal erupted at one of these establishments in France around 1980, where it was discovered that illegal activities were taking place upon the premises. Palmer, Harlech and Blackwell liquidated the corporation at that time, rightly not wanting to be attached to the scandal, which involved drugs and prostitution.
Later, in the nineties, Robert Palmer and Lord Harlech incorportated themselves as business partners in a small import-export operation, which they later sold in 2000.
The two were lifelong friends.
