Description
Join me on my historic tour of Scotland, May 15th-21st. MARCH 25th is the LAST DAY TO BOOK: https://trovatrip.com/trip/europe/united-kingdom/united-kingdom-with-lindsay-holiday-may-2024 Queen Victoria’s eldest son and heir was a man of great appetites. He loved food, he loved drink and he loved women. Dirty Bertie’s licentiousness flew in the face of his mother’s regime of uptight morality. The jolly Prince of wales was so popular with the ladies that he became known as Edward the Caresser. He had more than 55 mistresses, some noble society ladies, some glamorous actresses, some Persian sex workers and even a sharp-tongued chef. Here are the stories of just a handful of the many colorful mistresses of King Edward VII: Nellie Clifden Hortense Schneider Catherine Walters Lady Susan Vane-Tempest Jennie Jerome Spencer-Churchill Lady Harriet Mordaunt Patsy Cornwallis-West Parisian Sex Workers Lillie Langtry Sarah Bernhardt Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick Agustina del Carmen Otero Alice Keppel Rosa Lewis Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
