Download The King in Love: Edward VII's Mistresses AudioBook Free
The Ruler in Love is an all-embracing profile of the loves of that famous royal womanizer, Edward VII - as prince of Wales as king. Additionally it is a report of the three women with whom the king was most deeply in love - his "official" mistresses, Lillie Langtry, Daisy Warwick, and Alice Keppel. Spanning three ages and filled with occurrence, scandal, and high love, the story is defined in the luxurious and hypocritical world of late Victorian and Edwardian society. It is filled with colorful individuals: Edward's beautiful and betrayed partner, Alexandra; the three cuckolded husbands - Edward Langtry, the earl of Warwick, and the Honorable George Keppel; the flamboyant Oscar Wilde; the sensuous Sarah Bernhardt; the dissipated Prince Albert Victor; and the sexually complicated W. E. Gladstone. Royal biographer Theo Aronson attracts on new and new material in this vibrant publication and reassesses many aspects of his subject matter' lives. He challenges long-established myths and reveals much that was hitherto unknown - not least the outstanding scene that took place at the deathbed of Ruler Edward VII. The effect is a brilliant evocation of a global and a means of life that is gone forever.
