A funny, raucous, and delightfully dirty history of 1,000
years of bedroom-hopping secrets and scandals of Britain’s
royals.
Insatiable kings, lecherous queens,
kissing cousins, and wanton consorts—history has never been
so much fun.
Royal unions have always been the stuff
of scintillating gossip, from the passionate Plantagenets to
Henry VIII’s alarming head count of wives and mistresses, to
the Sapphic crushes of Mary and Anne Stuart right on up
through the scandal-blighted coupling of Prince Charles and
Princess Diana. Thrown into loveless, arranged marriages for
political and economic gain, many royals were driven to
indulge their pleasures outside the marital bed, engaging in
delicious flirtations, lurid love letters, and rampant sex
with voluptuous and willing partners.
This nearly
pathological lust made for some of the most titillating
scandals in Great Britain’s history. Hardly harmless, these
affairs have disrupted dynastic alliances, endangered lives,
and most of all, fed the salacious curiosity of the public
for centuries. Royal Affairs will satiate that
curiosity by bringing this arousing history alive.

Re: Royal Affairs
I love Leslie Carroll book on Helen of Troy, so I really looking forward to reading this book. I know it's going to be good.
