I found that this book engaged children that had difficulty listening and sitting nicely at circles times as the story is so funny! When the courtesan La Barucci (who called herself the “greatest whore in the world”) was introduced to Bertie, she promptly dropped her dress to the floor and exposed herself. Kennedy, Paul M. (2004), The Rise and Fall of British Naval Mastery, London: Penguin Books, pp.215–216 Rather than waving the crown jewels at anything in a skirt, today it’s likely that Bertie would join the likes of Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, David Duchovny, Robbie Williams, Russell Brand, and Tiger Woods in rehab, being treated for compulsive sexual behaviour. This makes the family very angry at Bertie, but on the plus side, they were asked to leave, so Mrs. Burns is now reviewing Burger Madness.The assassination was very regrettable, Bertie would have agreed but was Franz Ferdinand really worth a war? I believe he simply would not have let it happen." In 1901 Queen Victoria finally died, and after 60 years of waiting Edward was at last able to ascend to the throne. Despite his parents’ fears and a lifetime of questionable behaviour, during his short reign Edward proved a surprisingly popular and effective king, his gregariousness and social intelligence making him an excellent diplomat and ambassador for England. The Edwardian Era, lasting from 1901 to 1910, is often remembered as a final age of innocence before Europe descended into the savagery of the First World War – a gilded period of refinement and elegance. This is somewhat ironic, as for most of his life the namesake of the era, King Edward VII, embodied exactly none of these virtues.

The Prince swore under oath that they had never had an affair, but when Lord Cole admitted adultery with Harriet (likely bribed by Bertie) the divorce was granted anyway. Disgraced and divorced at 28, Harriet was declared insane and spent the rest of her days in an asylum; collateral damage to the lusts of the powerful Prince of Wales.
