"Secret Life Of..." Uncovers More Royal Scandals

"Secret Life Of..." Uncovers More Royal Scandals


TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2012 /CNW/ - Bad boy Prince Harry is not the only
Royal to be caught with his pants down - so to speak. Although the
public is shocked to see their wild Prince flaunting the crown jewels,
this is not the first time Royals have acted naughty.



The new HISTORY® series "Secret Life Of..." - Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on HISTORY beginning Aug. 31 - exposes the
scandals that would have rocked the House of Windsor had modern
technology - and tabloids - been around. For example:



-- During King Henry VIII's courtship to his second wife Anne
Boleyn, he sent her secret erotic letters. The letters were
quite racy with Henry writing about wanting to kiss Anne's
duckies - Tudor slang for breasts. Those duckies changed the
course of history!

-- We think of Queen Victoria as an old prude in a black sack, but
in fact she loved getting frisky. She and her husband Prince
Albert's hideaway looked picture perfect to the public, but
their private rooms were more like the Playboy Mansion -
complete with a locking system that let them lock their bedroom
door from bed.

-- Queen Elizabeth - whose entourage would have stunned a rock
star - made her favorite boy toy Robert Dudley master of the
horse (the equivalent of today's Royal bodyguards) just to keep
him close. She even entertained him in her chambers! When he
wiped his brow with her handkerchief, it horrified the court
and today would have been on the front page of every tabloid.
