Strong and famous men started relationships with mistresses for the sake of pleasure, but did not even realize that by doing so they endanger their reputation, fortune and even life, says Big Picture.
At first glance, it seems that a mistress, unlike a wife, does not play an important role in a man's life. However, the examples of these women show that at all times, lovers could not only influence the lives of famous chosen ones, but also destroy them.
Cleopatra
It is impossible not to remember the Egyptian empress. Many men were ready to take their lives in order to spend the night with Cleopatra. Everyone hoped to impress the queen in order to survive. But the rule was immutable - after the night's pleasures the lovers were executed.
The queen herself was Julius Caesar's mistress. The emperor was crazy about Cleopatra and wanted to help her take the Egyptian throne. However, he was so consumed by feelings for this beauty and someone else's war that he did not notice the conspiracy being prepared against him. Caesar was killed, and Cleopatra immediately began an affair with his friend and successor Mark Antony.
Camilla Parker Bowles
Many in the UK still consider Camilla Parker-Bowles to be the lovemaker, because of which Prince Charles broke up with his wife. His wife Diana was a popular favorite, "the queen of human hearts," because of which the divorce with her caused a huge scandal. The public was on the side of the princess.
Although Camilla and Charles had known each other long before his marriage, the Crown Prince really loved this woman. On the wedding day, he cried, as he was forced to marry the one that suited him in status. The first time in marriage, Charles tried to work on relationships, but after a few years he realized that he was completely unhappy. Divorce and open betrayal of the heir to the throne was a huge reputational blow to the royal family.

Kristen Keeler
Kristen Keeler came from the hinterland to conquer the catwalks of London at the age of 15. But with a career as a model, difficulties arose, and the girl had to perform in a cabaret. There she met the influential physician Ward, who was familiar with many high-ranking men.
So the girl simultaneously began a relationship with the British Secretary of War John Profumo and the Soviet intelligence officer Yevgeny Ivanov. Kristen could hide her connections for a long time, if not for another of her fans, who started shooting at Ward's house.

In her autobiography, Judith later admitted that she became the chosen one of the 35th President of the United States for almost two years. And although the public was accustomed to the then president's betrayals and novels, Exner's published memoirs and subsequent connections with major American mafiosi cast a shadow on the reputation of the head of state.
Sun-Yi Previn
