CHAPTER SEVEN: Kate’s Story

My name is Kate. I am thirty-five. I am a divorcee who’s never had children.

I’m not boasting, but I think I am attractive, quite intelli-gent, fairly amusing, with a bit of a bubbly personality. I have a good figure and I dress well. I live on my own in a nice flat in a town in Kent, and I drive a BMW. I have been involved in various business ventures over the years, including a kissogram company, and achieved success.

I have never been a notorious sort of person. I have never made newspaper headlines. I never expected to and I never wanted to. But, none the less, I did. Because I am the woman who married Ronnie Kray. I am the lady who really did say, ‘I do, Ron, Ron. I do.’ And I’m not kidding!

Sometimes, I’ll be honest, I find it hard to believe myself what has happened. But it’s a fact. For better or for worse - and often it’s been for worse - I have been Ron’s wife since 7 November 1989. And, as I write, I am still Mrs Kray. In that time I’ve known laughter, tears, bitterness and happiness. Some- times, when I see silly headlines in newspapers, like ‘Blonde tells of her love for Mad Ronnie’ and ‘I stole Ronnie Kray’s heart with laughter’, I still find it difficult to believe it’s me they are writing about.

I first became involved with the Krays in 1987. How it came about was really strange, though I knew from an early age that I would have a long association with a prison or someone in a prison. I don’t know how I knew that but I always did, it was like a premonition I had inside me.

It all started at the end of a day’s shopping in London. I had just missed my train home to Kent and, while I waited for the next train, I thought I’d have a look at the books and magazines at one of the bookstalls on Charing Cross, station. I’ve never really been a great book reader, I’ve never seemed to have the time and I don’t think I’ve ever bought a book for myself in my whole life. For some reason I found myself looking at the books in the crime section and one book seemed to catch my attention. It was called The Profession of Violence by John Pearson. Perhaps it was the photograph on the front of the book which held my attention - a photograph of two rather grim-looking young men. I picked up the book and started flicking through the pages and saw some more pictures of these same young men. They were, of course, the Kray twins. I’d heard of them but I didn’t really know much about them. To this day I still don’t know why but I felt compelled to buy the book. I also bought a couple of magazines and it was them that I read on the journey home.
