Tatler, The

Mr. Jones had spent three decades documenting the social scenes of British and American upper classes for The Tatler, The New York Observer and Vanity Fair under Tina Brown and Graydon Carter, but the frenetic pace of society photography had never given him time to look back on his own work.

Tatler, the British society magazine, humorously called the matter “The Curse of King Charles.”

According to Tatler, the tennis pro personally covered the cost of the $75,000-a-night room bill.

“The answer to creepy men,” said Brown — who has topped the mastheads of Tatler, the New Yorker and the Daily Beast — “is being the boss.”

Despite self-professed dyslexia, he went on to write his first article for Tatler, the society magazine, in 1991.
