Free-spirited members of society are in mourning for the man who knew, and kept, their most intimate secrets, and safeguarded their health — Dr Tony Greenburgh.
His impish charm and uninhibited approach to medicine endeared him to half the aristocracy.
‘Tony had gone out to , where he’d had a fall, breaking his hip or pelvis,’ a chum tells me, explaining that, as a doctor, Greenburgh ‘slightly bent the rules — for his patients’ benefit’.
His patients were desperate to help.Indeed, one of them, Prince Ernst of Hanover, flew to Thailand. ‘Tony had heart problems during the operation to fix the break.

It was there that Greenburgh died, aged 91, prompting an outpouring of heartfelt messages from the likes of the Duke of Marlborough, Countess Lloyd-George of Dwyfor and baronet’s daughter Vicki Hodge.’Part of all our lives, dearest Doc. You will be so missed,’ says Hodge, who had a fling with Prince Andrew and a relationship with John Bindon, the gangster photographed sitting next to Princess Margaret wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words ‘Enjoy Cocaine’.

All adored Greenburgh.’An extraordinary man; what a doctor,’ reflects one chum, who acknowledges that other medics were ‘outraged’ by Greenburgh’s zest for recreational pleasures.

Keyboardist Roy Young turned down the chance to join The Beatles in the early 1960s.Did he have any regrets? Mott The Hoople singer Ian Hunter, who played with Young at Hamburg’s famous Star-Club, recalls: ‘Brian Epstein rang Roy and said, ‘We’ve talked, and we would like you in the band.’ Roy turned it down because he had a Cadillac (a gift from club owner Horst Fascher).
‘I asked him later, ‘How does that feel?’ He said, ‘You know, I get up every morning, I go in the bathroom, I bang my head against the mirror once and everything is cool’.’
The Beatles later asked Young to play keyboards with Paul McCartney on Got To Get You Into My Life.That time, Young didn’t need asking twice.
