The ribald, raunchy, and sometimes sordid affairs detailed in this humorous but meticulously researched exposé of royal sex scandals give a whole new meaning to Shakespeare s famous line, Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Nigel Cawthorne chronicles an unbroken line of sexual misbehavior--and its political repercussions--across the centuries, from Hal the Horny (Henry VIII) to Edward the Caresser (Edward VII) to the present-day antics of the House of Windsor.
