-

William Waldorf Astor III, tercer vizconde Astor, se casó con Janet Gladys Aitken, hija de un rico hombre de negocios, en 1916. Después de la muerte de su padre en 1919, William heredó una gran fortuna y se trasladó a Inglaterra junto a Janet. Allí, compraron la finca de Cliveden, en donde se celebraban frecuentemente fiestas y reuniones importantes.

Janet Gordon-Lennox, condesa de March y Kinrara, era amiga de los Astor y solía visitar su casa en Cliveden. Durante la década de 1960 se hizo conocida su amistad con Stephen Ward, que finalmente llevó a su involucramiento en el escándalo del Profumo. Aunque Janet siempre negó haber tenido una relación sexual con John Profumo, lo que llevó al ministro a dimitir, su amistad con Stephen Ward y su asistencia a fiestas en Cliveden desató una gran controversia.

Más tarde, en 1963, la propiedad de los Astor en Cliveden fue el lugar donde se alojaron los participantes en el encuentro histórico entre el presidente Kennedy y el primer ministro británico Harold Macmillan. Después de la muerte de William Astor en 1966, Janet siguió hospedando a importantes invitados en Cliveden, pero en 1984 la propiedad fue vendida a la National Trust.
