Personal Life
During her youth, Guinness was connected to a number of high-profile public figures and celebrities. She was in a relationship with Prince Charles in 1979, which lasted nine months. During this time, she was frequently photographed with the Prince and attended various events with him at Balmoral in the presence of the Queen. Though the Prince was said to be in love with her, he broke up with her suddenly, and the rumor mill blamed the Queen, who was said to have disapproved of Guinness's romantic past.
Guinness had been linked to musicians Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart and actors Michael Douglas and Jack Nicholson. Her prominence as a socialite led to her being dubbed the "It Girl" of her generation by various publications. However, she spent the majority of her life unmarried and split her time between London and Hollywood, where she worked as an assistant producer on films for ten years.
In June 2014, Guinness married the playwright Sir Tom Stoppard in a small ceremony in East Dorset, England, after initially meeting in 2011. Some of Stoppard's most prominent plays include "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," "The Invention of Love," and "Night and Day," among others. He has also worked on screenplays like "The Russian House," "Shakespeare in Love," "Anna Karenina," and "Enigma," among others. Through their marriage, Guinness became Lady Stoppard. The two have a home together near Blandford in Dorset, though Guinness still maintains a pied-à-terre in London.
