Edward VII (born November 9, 1841, London, England—died May 6, 1910, London) was the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British dominions and emperor of India from 1901. He was an immensely popular and affable sovereign and a leader of society.
Albert Edward was the second child and eldest son of Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. When he was one month old, Bertie, as he was called by his family, was created prince of Wales and earl of Chester by his mother. He was placed on a demanding education regime from an early age, and although he did not excel as a student, he later attended the universities of both Oxford and Cambridge. His dalliance with an actress while serving with an army unit in Ireland (June–September 1861) caused Victoria to hold him partly responsible for the death of the prince consort, who had indeed taken his son’s brief liaison much to heart before succumbing to typhoid (December 14, 1861). Subsequently, Victoria excluded her heir from any real initiation into affairs of state. Not until he was more than 50 years old was he informed of cabinet proceedings.
Despite his numerous affairs, no one lady ever came forward claiming to have given birth to one of Edward’s illegitimate children. Similarly, in later years, nobody claimed to be one of the royal’s offspring. This may have been down to the fact Edward was notoriously private and secretive. Though a known playboy and womanizer, he burned most love letters and kept diary entries vague, destroying any potential evidence. Nevertheless, to this day, some still believe that Edward fathered one of Alice Keppel’s children.
So voracious was the Playboy Prince’s sexual appetite that he was rarely satisfied with one woman at a time. He enjoyed having sex with two or more partners simultaneously. As he got older, however, he became much heavier and risked crushing his lovers. To fix this, Edward commissioned the French furniture manufacturer Soubrier to make him a chair that would allow him to make love to two partners at the same time. The Love Chair (or Seige d’amour) is today owned by the firm that made it and remains one of the world’s weirdest pieces of royal memorabilia.
Blessed with almost-limitless wealth and near-complete freedom, Edward was free to indulge his sexual whims however he saw fit. One of his great loves was to travel to Paris to enjoy the company of high-class French sex workers. Above all, the Crown Prince liked to frequent a luxurious bawdy house called La Chabanais. He was such a regular customer that he had his own private room, fitted with a huge bathtub. Edward would ask for this to be filled up with fine champagne and then he would bathe in it for hours at a time – in the company of several young sex workers, of course.
