Popularity 3
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.
