Weird History | What Sex Was Like For British Royals @WeirdHistory | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 minutes ago.
The sex lives of kings and queens have been the subject of scrutiny and scandal for centuries. The Tudor period alone runs the gamut, from the highly sexualized court of Henry VIII to that of his daughter, the "Virgin Queen," Elizabeth I. Extramarital relations at the British court was accepted - or even encouraged - by some monarchs, but it was punished severely by others.
Whether it was rolling around with a Restoration actress à la Charles II, or non-stop marital romping in the royal boudoir like Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, each English monarch had a private life that still fascinates and titillates to this day. And the way monarchs' private preferences inflected their broader courts doesn't disappoint the curious modern reader, either.
