Just reading about the fun and games at the #Coronation of #GeorgeIV when #CarolineofBrunswick was refused admission and went from door to door demanding to be let in. Nothing like that could happen nowadays, of course 😉#History #Monarchy #RoyalScandals #Royalty

Just occurred to me that now it’s the “spares” Andrew and Harry who are starring in the #tabloids. In the past, it was the heirs who got the bad publicity. I’m thinking of the #PrinceRegent and #MrsFitzherbert, #EdwardVII & the #MordauntDivorce and the #BaccaratScandal and #EdwardVIII and the #Abdication. Then as heir #JamesII had his fair share of adverse publicity and speculation with the rumour about the baby in the warming pan.
The present lot are quite tame in comparison. #RoyalScandals
