I am reading a fantastic biography of King Edward VII. Poor Bertie. Could never please his mother but the ladies loved him. Although he had numerous affairs with many of the lovely ladies of the day his wife, Queen Alexandra, stayed devoted to him until the end. She even allowed his last and most loved mistress, Mrs. Keppel, to come to his bedside as he lay dying.
Waiting in the wings are 2 other books, "Sex with Kings" and "Sex with Queens". Neither are as racy as the title sounds. They focus on the mistresses and lovers of various Kings and Queens. Very interesting reading. I also have a biography of Queen Marie of Romania waiting to be read. Why she doesn't get more attention is beyond me. She was an incredible woman!
One of my new favorite web site is Edwardian Promenade (www.EdwardianPromenade.com). Check it out!!
