Product Description
Exposes the amazing story of how key English aristocratic families supplied the British royal family mistresses over several generations to secure influence at court. Author is an expert investigative genealogist specializing in the British Royal Family. Perfect follow-up to the author's successful last book, Royal Bastards:Illegitimate Children of the British Royal Family (The History Press 2008). The current Prince of Wales, Britain's future King, has married his mistress and she will become, barring an accident, the next Queen Consort. This is a unique situation and one that is unlikely to be repeated. Of course, only 70 years ago, his great uncle was in a not dissimilar predicament which cost him his throne.Royal Sex show how a certain number of key aristocratic families appear to have cornered the market in providing British monarchs with mistresses over successive centuries. The present Duchess of Cornwall is a prime example, her great-grandmother, Alice Keppel was a mistress of Edward VII, as the Duchess was of Prince Charles. The reason? To capture and exploit royal power and royal patronage to place a royal mistress or favorite at the centre of power.
