On January 1st in 1991, George Harrison invited his former wife, Pattie Boyd, to his Friar Park mansion for a friendly, New Year’s Day visit.
Harrison first met Pattie Boyd on the set of the Beatles’ movie, “A Hard Day’s Night,” in 1964. Instantly captivated by her beauty, George pursued Pattie, and their romance blossomed against the backdrop of the Swinging Sixties. They tied the knot in 1966 in a lavish ceremony attended by friends and fellow band members.
The couple’s love story was not without its challenges. George’s intense focus on his music, combined with the pressures of being part of the world’s most famous band, often left Pattie feeling neglected. Despite this, their relationship endured for several years.
Pattie Boyd’s influence on George Harrison extended beyond their personal life; she is said to have inspired some of the most iconic Beatles songs. One such song is “Something,” penned by Harrison and widely regarded as one of the greatest love songs of all time. The lyrics reflect the depth of Harrison’s feelings for Boyd.
