Catherine Radziwill (March 30, 1858-May 12,1941 , was a Polish princess from a famous Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic family called the Radziwills. She was born as Countess Ekaterina Adamovda Rzewuska. She married Prince Wilhelm Radziwill at age 15 and moved to Berlin to live with his family. She wrote a book gossiping about Berlin society in 1884 under the pen name Paul Vasili.
She stalked an English-born South African politician named Cecil Rhodes and asked him to marry her, but he refused. She then got revenge by forging his name on a promissory note, which ruined his career. Her accusation were eventually proved false.
