The romance with Diahann — who starred in Dynasty — was a sensation at the time. He showered her with baubles, reportedly including a rare ruby and rose-cut diamond brooch which had once belonged to the Royal Family. After much speculation, the couple got engaged in November 1972 in New York, after buying a 200-year-old, egg-sized diamond engagement ring. ‘It’s delicious,’ said Frost, of the engagement. Flashing her diamond, Diahann purred: ‘It’s as big as my heart.’ The happy couple planned to marry in London the following Easter, but before the wedding could take place, Diahann decided to marry someone else instead — a 39-year-old boutique owner, Fredde Glusman. Maybe Frost had it coming after his treatment of Bernadette, but this was a ‘defrosting’ like no other. Diahann explained: ‘I came over to Las Vegas for some meetings with my business manager and we planned to have some cocktails with Fredde Glusman. ‘The next thing I knew I was standing in front of a judge getting married.’ As you do. Frost was gallant and ever the gentleman in defeat. ‘Life is full of surprises,’ he said. ‘But if Diahann is happy, then I am happy, too.’
