Dirty Bertie: 1

Product Information

In the last year of his life, Edward became embroiled in a constitutional crisis when the Conservative majority in the House of Lords refused to pass the " People's Budget" proposed by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Asquith. The crisis eventually led—after Edward's death—to the removal of the Lords' right to veto legislation.

The Burns family is watching TV, all except for Mrs. Burns, who then enters with news: the newspaper wants her to do a restaurant review, she can take guests, and the paper pays for the meal. Bertie is very excited at the possibility of a free meal and wants to go to a restaurant called Burger Madness, but Mr. Burns tells him they are not taking him, because he's accident-prone at restaurants. Suzy wants to go out for dinner as well, and Mrs. Burns, despite hoping for a date with Mr. Burns, agrees to take Suzy, and Bertie too because they haven't eaten as a family in a while, and it would not be fair taking one kid but not the other. Mrs. Burns tells Bertie to be on his best behaviour and to tidy his room right then.

After 60 long years of waiting (since beaten by Prince Charles), Edward VII will assume his charge with rigor and seriousness, notably leading a policy of cordial understanding with France. Logical, one would be tempted to add, after so many services rendered As king, Edward's main interests lay in the fields of foreign affairs and naval and military matters. Fluent in French and German, he reinvented royal diplomacy by numerous state visits across Europe. [83] He took annual holidays in Biarritz and Marienbad. [56] One of his most important foreign trips was an official visit to France in May 1903 as the guest of President Émile Loubet. Following a visit to Pope Leo XIII in Rome, this trip helped create the atmosphere for the Anglo-French Entente Cordiale, an agreement delineating British and French colonies in North Africa, and ruling out any future war between the two countries. The Entente was negotiated in 1904 between the French foreign minister, Théophile Delcassé, and the British foreign secretary, Lord Lansdowne. It marked the end of centuries of Anglo-French rivalry and Britain's splendid isolation from Continental affairs, and attempted to counterbalance the growing dominance of the German Empire and its ally, Austria-Hungary. [84] It sounds like solid evidence, but put into the context of the time, sharing a bed wasn’t a big deal. Certainly among lower classes, bed sharing among families happened all the time—it was a way to keep warm, or they might not have been able to afford more than one bed, or had room for more than one. Bed sharing was done as a matter of necessity. There was nothing inherently sexual about it and it was something most did. Pictures are very vibrant and have a lot of details which allow children to talk about what they see.

In the car, Bertie's family reminds him to behave, then they drive past Burger Madness, instead ending up at another restaurant: Restaurant Paradiso. Napoleon Bonaparte’s sister, Pauline (1780-1825), took on so many well-endowed lovers that her doctors diagnosed her with an exhausted vagina. The style-conscious French even copied his fashions.

Talk of removing the Lords' veto played a major role in the January 1910 election. Early in the election campaign Lloyd George talked of "guarantees" and Asquith of "safeguards" that would be necessary before forming another Liberal government, but such talk ceased after the King informed Asquith that he would not be willing to contemplate creating peers until after a second general election. [12] [113] Balfour refused to be drawn on whether or not he would be willing to form a Conservative government, but advised the King not to promise to create peers until he had seen the terms of any proposed constitutional change. [114] During the campaign the leading Conservative Walter Long had asked Knollys for permission to state that the King did not favour Irish Home Rule, but Knollys refused on the grounds that it was not appropriate for the monarch's views to be known in public. [115] Actress, Tallulah Bankhead (1902 –1968) claimed that she had over 500 lovers. When the Kinsey report was published, Tallulah remarked that “the good doctor’s clinical notes were old hat to me”.

In 1860, Edward undertook the first tour of North America by a Prince of Wales. His genial good humour and confident bonhomie made the tour a great success. [16] He inaugurated the Victoria Bridge, Montreal, across the St Lawrence River, and laid the cornerstone of Parliament Hill, Ottawa. He watched Charles Blondin traverse Niagara Falls by highwire, and stayed for three days with President James Buchanan at the White House. Buchanan accompanied the Prince to Mount Vernon, to pay his respects at the tomb of George Washington. Vast crowds greeted him everywhere. He met Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Prayers for the royal family were said in Trinity Church, New York, for the first time since 1776. [16] The four-month tour throughout Canada and the United States considerably boosted Edward's confidence and self-esteem, and had many diplomatic benefits for Great Britain. [17] Bertie was 60 years of age by the time his assumed the throne in 1901, but even at his coronation “the King’s special ladies” had their own pew in Westminster Abbey.
