The son of Ernst L. Freud and grandson of Sigmund Freud, Clement moved to the United Kingdom from Nazi Germany as a child and later worked as a prominent chef and food writer.

He became known to a wider audience as a television and radio personality. Freud was the longest serving panellist on the BBC Radio 4 panel show Just a Minute, appearing in each of the first 143 episodes, and making subsequent regular appearances up until his death in 2009.{{cite web|url=http://just-a-minute.info/eps.html|title=JUST A MINUTE EPISODE LIST!}}

Freud was elected as a Liberal Member of Parliament in 1973, retaining his seat until 1987, when he received a knighthood. In 2016, seven years after his death, three women made public allegations of child sexual abuse and rape by Freud, which led to police investigations.

Early life

Clement Freud was born Clemens Rafael Freud in Berlin,{{London Gazette |issue=34708 |date=13 October 1939 |page=6866}}{{cite news |url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesonline-uk/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=126283328 |title=Sir Clement Freud |date=16 April 2009 |agency=Associated Press |access-date=16 April 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160505121833/http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesonline-uk/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=126283328 |archive-date=5 May 2016 |url-status=live }} the son of Jewish parents Ernst L. Freud (an architect) and Lucie Freud (née Brasch). He was a grandson of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and the brother of artist Lucian Freud. His family fled to the United Kingdom from Nazi Germany and his forenames were anglicised to Clement Raphael.[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/culture-obituaries/tv-radio-obituaries/5163084/Sir-Clement-Freud.html "Sir Clement Freud"], {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180202011103/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/culture-obituaries/tv-radio-obituaries/5163084/Sir-Clement-Freud.html |date=2 February 2018 }} The Daily Telegraph (London), 16 April 2009 He spent his later childhood in Hampstead, where he attended the Hall School, a prep school.{{cite web|url=http://www.hamhigh.co.uk/content/camden/hamhigh/news/story.aspx?brand=NorthLondon24&category=Newshamhigh&tBrand=northlondon24&tCategory=newshamhigh&itemid=WeED16%20Apr%202009%2016%3A26%3A39%3A610|title=Obituary Hampstead and Highgate Express|access-date=23 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090423000627/http://www.hamhigh.co.uk/content/camden/hamhigh/news/story.aspx?brand=NorthLondon24&category=Newshamhigh&tBrand=northlondon24&tCategory=newshamhigh&itemid=WeED16%20Apr%202009%2016%3A26%3A39%3A610|archive-date=23 April 2009|url-status=live}} He was then educated at two independent schools: at Dartington Hall School, where he boarded, and at St Paul's School in London. He was naturalised as a British subject on 4 September 1939, three days after the outbreak of the Second World War.

During the war, Freud joined the Royal Ulster Rifles and served in the ranks, acting as an aide to Field Marshal Montgomery. He later worked at the Nuremberg Trials, and in 1947 was commissioned as an officer.{{London Gazette |issue=37983 |date=13 June 1947 |page=2669 |supp=y}} Freud married June Flewett (the inspiration for Lucy Pevensie in C.

Early career

Freud was one of Britain's first celebrity chefs.{{Cite web|title=Clement Freud profile: The life and times of one of Britain's best connected men|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/15/clement-freud-profile-the-life-and-times-of-one-of-britains-best/amp/|access-date=2021-01-13|website=www.telegraph.co.uk}} He worked at the Dorchester Hotel and went on to run his own restaurant in Sloane Square at a relatively young age. Freud appeared in a series of dog food television advertisements (at first Chunky Meat, later Chunky Minced Morsels) in which he co-starred with a bloodhound called Henry (played by a number of dogs) which shared his trademark "hangdog" expression. In 1964 he appeared in Strictly for the Birds. In 1968 he wrote the children's book Grimble, followed by a sequel, Grimble at Christmas, six years later. Whilst running a nightclub, Freud met a newspaper editor who gave him a job as a sports journalist. From there he became an award-winning food and drink writer,{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/5162533/Sir-Clement-Freud-dies-at-84.html |title=Telegraph Obituary: Sir Clement Freud dies at 84 |date=16 April 2009 |access-date=18 April 2009 |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |first=Jon |last=Swaine |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090419105913/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/5162533/Sir-Clement-Freud-dies-at-84.html |archive-date=19 April 2009 |url-status=live }} writing columns for many publications.

Political career

Freud stood in the 1973 Isle of Ely by-election, becoming the Liberal Member of Parliament for that constituency (later North East Cambridgeshire) from 1973 to 1987. In 1983, to support employment in his constituency, he assisted the management buy-out of a concrete pipe manufacturer in March, Cambridgeshire, led by Tom Moore, and became an investor in the resulting March Concrete Ltd.{{cite book |last1=Green |first1=Sebastian |last2=Berry |first2=Dean F. |title=Cultural, Structural and Strategic Change in Management Buyouts |chapter=The March Concrete Story |date=1991 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan Limited |location=London |isbn=978-1-349-21561-4 |pages=135–136 |doi=10.1007/978-1-349-21559-1_6 |chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-1-349-21559-1_6 |access-date=18 February 2021}} His departure from Parliament was marked by the award of a knighthood.

In his column in the Racing Post of 23 August 2006, Freud wrote about his election to Parliament in a by-election: "Politically, I was an anti-Conservative unable to join a Labour party hell-bent on nationalising everything that moved, so when a by-election occurred in East Anglia, where I lived and live, I stood as a Liberal and was fortunate in getting in. Ladbrokes quoted me at 33–1 in this three-horse contest, so Ladbrokes paid for me to have rather more secretarial and research staff than other MPs, which helped to keep me in for five parliaments."

His autobiography, Freud Ego, recalls his election win, and shortly after, when asked by his wife June, "Why aren't you looking happier?", he wrote, "It suddenly occurred to me that after nine years of fame I now had something solid about which to be famous... and cheered up no end." During his time as a Member of Parliament, he visited China with a delegation of MPs, including Winston Churchill, the grandson of the wartime prime minister. When Churchill was given the best room in the hotel, on account of his lineage, Freud (in a reference to his own famous forebear) declared it was the first time in his life that he had been "out-grandfathered".{{cite news|url=http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article6108143.ece|title=Freudian clips: The best of Clement Freud|last=Leitch|first=Luke|work=The Times|date=17 April 2009|access-date=17 April 2009|location=London|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110615191032/http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article6108143.ece|archive-date=15 June 2011|url-status=dead}}

Callaghan and freedom of information

In the last year of James Callaghan's government there was a proposal to revive the one-year Lib-Lab pact which had lapsed in July 1978, to include introducing a freedom of information act, long proposed by the Liberals; however, Callaghan himself was opposed to this kind of legislation. Towards the end of the five-year term there was a confidence vote in Callaghan's government, and Freud was expected to follow his party and vote with the Opposition.

Due to by-election defeats Labour's Callaghan ran a minority government and sought support of members from opposing parties to support him that day; to that end Freud, in Liverpool at the time, received a phone call from 10 Downing Street at 3pm asking him to miss his train back to London for the 10pm vote, in exchange for a "looser" version of his proposed freedom of information act being enacted. Freud declined the offer and voted as stated by his party, after the lapse of the Lib-Lab pact, for an immediate general election. Otherwise the government could have continued until October 1979.{{YouTube|id=U2wGQfqQBMM#t=7m|title=Interview with Freud}}{{Better source needed|reason=A YouTube video is not an ideal source|date=June 2016}}

Radio, music and academia

For many, Freud was best known as a panellist on the long-running Radio 4 show Just a Minute. Freud performed a small monologue for the Wings 1973 album Band on the Run and appeared on the album's cover. He also made the occasional film appearance, with acting roles in movies such as The Mini-Affair (1968) and The Best House in London (1969). In 1974, he was elected Rector of the University of Dundee and served two three-year terms. A generation later, in 2002, he was elected Rector of the University of St Andrews, beating feminist and academic Germaine Greer and local challenger Barry Joss, holding the position for one term.

Family and hobbies

His son Matthew Freud founded the London public relations firm Freud Communications in 1985. Matthew Freud was formerly married to Caroline Hutton, who was the second wife of Earl Spencer; he then married media magnate Rupert Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth.

Clement Freud's daughter Emma Freud, a broadcaster, is the partner of Richard Curtis, scriptwriter of Blackadder and Four Weddings and a Funeral. His nieces (by his painter brother Lucian) include poet Annie Freud, fashion designer Bella Freud, and writer Esther Freud. His eldest brother, Stephen Freud, closely guarded his privacy, with the exception of a 2008 interview he gave to The Daily Telegraph.{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/2403606/I-am-the-forgotten-Freud-says-brother-of-Sir-Clement-Freud-and-Lucian-Freud.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120703025101/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/2403606/I-am-the-forgotten-Freud-says-brother-of-Sir-Clement-Freud-and-Lucian-Freud.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 July 2012 |title=I am the forgotten Freud, says brother of Sir Clement Freud and Lucian Freud |work=The Daily Telegraph |date= 18 July 2008 |access-date=15 April 2009 |first=Adam |last=Lusher |location=London}} Stephen died in 2015, at the age of 93.{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11334445/Stephen-Freud-the-forgotten-brother-of-Lucian-and-Clement-dies-aged-93.html|title=Stephen Freud, the 'forgotten' brother of Lucian and Clement, dies aged 93|first=David|last=Barrett|date=23 July 2018|access-date=23 July 2018|via=www.telegraph.co.uk|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180724010828/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11334445/Stephen-Freud-the-forgotten-brother-of-Lucian-and-Clement-dies-aged-93.html|archive-date=24 July 2018|url-status=live}} Freud died without resolving a feud with his brother Lucian, thought to have dated back 70 years, over which of them was the rightful winner of a boyhood race.{{cite news |last=Singh |first=Anita |title=Clement Freud died without resolving feud with his brother Lucian |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/5169755/Clement-Freud-died-without-resolving-feud-with-his-brother-Lucian.html |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |date=17 April 2009 |access-date=6 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180420204631/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/5169755/Clement-Freud-died-without-resolving-feud-with-his-brother-Lucian.html |archive-date=20 April 2018 |url-status=live }} There have been claims that Freud fathered a child in the mid-1950s with the family's 17-year-old nanny.{{cite news|last=Evans|first=Martin|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/01/sir-clement-freud-fathered-child-with-nanny/|title=Sir Clement Freud 'fathered child' with nanny|work=The Daily Telegraph|location=London|date=1 August 2016|access-date=2 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160803060227/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/01/sir-clement-freud-fathered-child-with-nanny/|archive-date=3 August 2016|url-status=live}}

Freud was a columnist for the Racing Post newspaper. Freud's enthusiasm for horse racing went as far as challenging Sir Hugh Fraser, then chairman of Harrods, to a horse race at Haydock in 1972. Freud trained for three months and lost some five stone for the event. Although Fraser, a country gentleman, was seen as a much better prospect, the two made a bet for £1,000-a-side. Freud used the long odds to his advantage, however, and shrewdly placed a large side bet on himself. Freud won the race and made a great deal of money. His horse, Winter Fair, went on to win the Waterloo Hurdle at Aintree that year.{{cite news |url=http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse-racing/racing-post-columnist-sir-clement-freud-dies-at-84/178784/latest/ |title=Racing Post columnist Sir Clement Freud dies at 84 |work=Racing Post |date=16 April 2009 |first=Graham |last=Green |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111005214439/http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse-racing/racing-post-columnist-sir-clement-freud-dies-at-84/178784/latest/ |archive-date=5 October 2011 |df=dmy-all }}

Freud wrote articles reviewing facilities for spectators at racecourses in Britain, especially catering. This led him to receive the nickname "Sir Clement Food".[http://www.ajr.org.uk/journal/issue.Mar01/article.622 Association of Jewish Refugees] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090312052008/http://www.ajr.org.uk/journal/issue.Mar01/article.622 |date=12 March 2009 }}, 2001.

Child sexual abuse allegations

On 15 June 2016, allegations were made in an ITV documentary, Exposure: Abused and Betrayed – A Life Sentence, that Freud had engaged in child sexual abuse between the 1940s and the 1970s.{{cite news|url=http://www.itv.com/news/2016-06-14/late-politician-sir-clement-freud-accused-of-child-sexual-abuse/|title=ITV investigation: Politician Sir Clement Freud accused of child sexual abuse|publisher=ITV|date=15 June 2016|access-date=15 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160615121716/http://www.itv.com/news/2016-06-14/late-politician-sir-clement-freud-accused-of-child-sexual-abuse/|archive-date=15 June 2016|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36535263|title=Sir Clement Freud accused of abusing two girls|publisher=BBC News|date=15 June 2016|access-date=15 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160615020836/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36535263|archive-date=15 June 2016|url-status=live}} Two women, who did not know each other, spoke publicly for the first time to claim Freud had preyed upon them when they were still children and into young adulthood.{{cite news|last=O'Neill|first=Sean|url=https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/clement-freud-abused-girl-aged-10-ljcff5wf9|title=Clement Freud 'abused girl aged 10'|work=The Times|location=London|date=15 June 2016|access-date=15 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160614233549/http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/clement-freud-abused-girl-aged-10-ljcff5wf9|archive-date=14 June 2016|url-status=live}}{{subscription required}} Sylvia Woosley contacted the ITV News team – the same team that exposed Jimmy Savile – and told them she had been abused for many years by Freud, from the age of 10 in the 1950s to when she left his home aged 19.
