Late 1950s, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Kennedy pose with Lord Beaverbrook, a friend of the Kennedys. Mr. Beaverbrook owned a house in Naussau, Bahamas, and Joan & Ted stayed there during their honeymoon. From what I’ve read, I don’t think it was their choice to go there - Joe Kennedy forced them. Joan said that the place wasn’t very luxurious and that there wasn’t a lot to do (from what I remember).
Sir Richard Carlisle was inspired by the real life bombastic newspaper magnate Lord Beaverbrook.

“The World’s Most Popular Drink,” Border Cities Star. November 5, 1930. Page 26. ---- Beaverbrook: ‘Call it what you like, boys. It all comes out of the same cask.’ [British and Commonwealth figures drink ‘Canadian Claret’, ‘Protection Port’ and ‘Australian Burgundy’ all coming from a cask called Empire Free Trade.] - From the London Daily Express
