Dirty Bertie
About this book
Despite fierce opposition from his mother, Queen Victoria, Edward VII was always passionately in love with France. He had affairs with the most famous Parisian actresses, courtesans and can-can dancers. He spoke French more elegantly than English. The author argues that as 'Dirty Bertie', Edward learned all the essentials in life from the French.
