a princess and an auto mechanic a nazi
sympathizer who gave up the throne the
royal family isn't everything that they
seem keep watching to find out what's
behind their public face
elizabeth ii may appear passive and
dutiful but she's actually one killer
queen during world war ii she worked as
an auto mechanic as noted by the
national world war ii museum the then
teen princess put her gown aside and
trained as a service woman to help the
war effort leading to her being dubbed
princess auto mechanic to date she is
the only woman in the royal family to
have ever served in the armed forces
when the war came to an end the queen
did what many teens would do she snuck
out of the house to celebrate ve day on
the bustling streets of london going
incognito with her sister margaret she
recalled the night in a 1985 bbc radio 4
interview saying i think it was one of
the most memorable nights of my life
prince charles loves to portray himself
as a devoted conservationist and climate
action advocate underlying everything
are
the fundamental patterns in the universe
he was also praised for condemning the
uk's role in imperialism and slavery in
2021 however his compassionate pursuits
while admirable cannot shield him from
criticism for instance his
aforementioned anti-slavery remarks were
sullied by allegations that he was in
fact the person who questioned whether
his grandson archie would have dark skin
in his book brothers and wives inside
the private lives of william kate harry
and megan royal author christopher
anderson named charles as the person who
uttered the racist remark though the
prince of wales firmly denies this
charles apparently cheated on lady dye
with his now wife camilla parker bowles
and pretty much admitted that he never
really loved his sadly departed ex-wife
during a 1981 interview a reporter asked
the newly engaged couple whether they
were in love diana replied that they
were charles had a different answer
moreover he allegedly contributed to
diana's eating disorder by making fat
phobic jibes about her weight mere days
into the couple's engagement as the
princess recalled in a recording bulimia
started the week after we got engaged my
husband put his hand on my waistline and
said oh a bit chubby here aren't we and
that triggered off something in me
prince philip who died in 2021 was
notorious for his numerous offensive
gaffes which remain a damning reminder
of britain's colonial past but beneath
philip's politically incorrect exterior
lay a complex man who championed a
variety of causes during world war ii 83
percent of greece's jews were murdered
by the nazis though according to the
guardian prince philip's mother princess
alice of battenberg managed to save an
entire greek jewish family from the
holocaust following in his mother's
footsteps philip was a passionate ally
of the jewish people as noted by the
times of israel philip became the first
royal to visit israel when he attended a
ceremony honoring his mom and often gave
speeches at jewish events moreover while
what cnn described as his quote casual
racism made him seem like a relic of the
past the duke of edinburgh was woke in
some respects he was in fact a staunch
environmentalist and spoke passionately
about climate action he told the bbc if
we've got this extraordinary diversity
on this globe it seems awfully silly for
us to destroy it all these other
creatures have an equal right to exist
here we have no prior rights to the
earth than anybody else and if they're
here let's give them a chance to survive
we depend on every other living thing on
this planet just as much as they depend
on us
much has been made of prince harry's
intellect or supposed lack thereof in
the british satirical sitcom the
windsors harry is depicted as an
illiterate prince whose favorite reading
material consists of children's coloring
books these myths largely stem from his
less than impressive performance at
school but harry proves that one doesn't
need a college degree to be intelligent
since leaving royal duties behind harry
has given numerous inspiring speeches
and interviews showcasing his undeniable
eloquence in particular his insight into
bullying during dax shepard's armchair
expert podcast attracted immense praise
he told shepard hatred is a form of
projection we're not born to hate people
it manifests itself over a period of
time and of course it can come from
unresolved pain but ultimately there's a
source to it when dealing with internet
trolls harry reveals that he thinks
about what might be spurring their bad
behavior and tries to have compassion
for them moreover interviewing black
lives matter activist patrick hutchison
for gq harry was brave enough to
acknowledge his own race and class
privileges saying unconscious bias from
my understanding having the upbringing
and the education that i had i had no
idea what it was i had no idea it
existed and then as sad as it is to say
it took me many many years to realize it
especially then living a day or a week
in my wife's shoes
while his little brother is often viewed
as the black sheep of the family prince
william is largely seen as the
upstanding royal who can do no wrong but
is he really prince charming allegations
of infidelity have haunted him for years
with rose hanbury having long been
rumored to be his mistress in 2019
intouch published an expose on the
alleged affair hanbury and kate
middleton had actually been close pals
but a source told the mag that they had
a major falling out in the wake of
cheating rumors the insider claimed they
come across as a perfect couple who can
do no wrong but the reality is most
couples have their issues and william
and kate are no different the palace
denied the allegations and attempted to
suppress the british tabloids from
reporting them it seems that these
attempts were largely successful with
many publications merely alluding to a
falling out between middleton and
hambury according to william and kate a
royal love story william's alleged bad
boy behavior doesn't end there early on
in their relationship william and kate
were growing apart which led to a sullen
william to allegedly grope a woman's
breast at a nightclub
it may appear that prince andrew is
filthy rich but that simply isn't the
case he lives the life of a billionaire
yet he receives only around 360 000 a
year according to the sun although
that's a substantial amount of dough at
least for a royal it's certainly not
enough to explain the means of his
billionaire swag so how exactly is he
sustaining this life of luxury according
to an investigation by the daily mail
andrew's dodgy dealings with
multi-millionaire tycoon david roland
may explain his mysterious wealth during
trade missions meant to promote uk
business the prince allegedly ended up
promoting a private luxembourg-based
bank for the super rich that was owned
by roland and his family but there's
more to andrew's shady dealings his
ex-wife was severely in debt at one
point and the debt was partly paid off
by convicted pedophile financier jeffrey
epstein according to the evening
standard during a disastrous news night
interview andrew addressed rumors that
he sexually abused girls who had been
trafficked by epstein claiming that one
accuser was lying in her testimony
because he supposedly has a rare medical
condition in which he cannot sweat i
have no recollection of ever meeting
this lady
he also said that he has never really
partied despite tabloid photos that
suggest otherwise i never have really
parted
he also praised epstein and admitted to
spending time on his private plane and
his private island but he had the most
extraordinary
ability to bring
extraordinary people together despite
appearing like a compliant dutiful royal
wife kate middleton has a surprising
edge to her according to carol lieberman
the duchess was a party girl at her
university and loved donning skimpy
outfits lieberman told radar online kate
is a good girl that used bad girl
techniques to get her prints then came
the see-through dress kate wore it when
she walked the catwalk in a fashion show
and not surprisingly her mega sexy getup
caught prince william's eye they started
dating shortly afterwards but he was
kind of non-committal and spent a lot of
time clubbing with his boys what's more
middleton let out her inner mean girl
when she allegedly made meghan markle
cry speaking with oprah megan said that
past notions that she had acted
inappropriately towards the duchess of
cambridge were a cover-up for the truth
she told oprah it was in fact middleton
who reduced her to tears what was hard
to get over
was being blamed for something that not
only i didn't do
but that happened to me
during the lead up to her big day megan
said that she and kate had a dispute a
few days before the wedding she was
upset about
something
pertaining to yes the issue was correct
about flower girl dresses perhaps the
duchess was preparing for her future
role within the royal family by queening
over megan either way if megan's claims
are true then kate better reign in that
snide behavior
the man who would be king but then
wasn't edward viii reigned for just 325
days before his brother george vi queen
elizabeth's father took over in 1936.
famous for abdicating to be with the
woman he loved the american socialite
wallace simpson edward was more than a
flaky monarch it has now been revealed
that he was a nazi sympathizer who
encouraged an adolescent queen elizabeth
and her sister princess margaret to do
the nazi salute the son first published
footage of the queen and margaret being
taught how to perform the sig heil pose
as children by their uncle edward the
queen mother can also be seen joining in
with these shocking shenanigans as the
new york times highlights edward
actually met hitler in 1937 the
publication noted the visit to germany a
deep embarrassment to edward's brother
king george vi served to confirm
hitler's view that the duke of windsor
was an advocate of the nazi cause and
could be of future use there was even a
nazi plot to try and bring edward back
on the throne according to the guardian
while his little brother george was
soothing the nation during wartime with
his inspiring speech edward was
reportedly corresponding with the nazis
via problematic telegrams which he later
claimed were complete fabrications
the queen's granddaughter zara tyndall
may come across like a stuffy pompous
royal but she's quite the opposite the
acclaimed equestrian has little concern
for aristocratic heirs and graces she's
married to mike tyndall a rugby player
from a lower middle class background as
mike told hello zara is anything but a
passive princess and her fiery
temperament is just what he loves about
her he said if something goes wrong say
a parcel doesn't turn up i don't get
angry even when i broke my leg and
couldn't play in the last world cup i
accepted it zara isn't like that she's
not scared of saying how she feels but i
wouldn't want a doormat the untitled
royal is also pretty relatable when it
comes to her meal of choice rather than
indulge in caviar and champers the
equestrian celebrated winning a silver
medal at the 2012 olympics by eating at
mcdonald's when queried about her daily
routine by one news tyndall highlighted
just how plain ordinary her life is
saying pretty normal i mean just getting
up and training doing the horses having
mia you know it's great to be able to do
them both so closely
um it's a good lifestyle to have
with her elegant attire and graceful
demeanor the stunning princess margaret
expertly played the part of a dignified
royal in photo ops but behind the scenes
she was highly troubled and led a
turbulent life a party girl she gained a
reputation for drinking hard and
eventually developed health problems
when she was still a teen the princess
began smoking her habit was exacerbated
by her father's death in 1952 which was
also smoking related her party girl ways
were largely shaped by the royal
hierarchy which placed margaret firmly
below her bethroned elder sis royal
biographer andrew morton explained to
vanity fair margaret often felt that she
was in elizabeth's shadow she was four
years younger and tried to make up for
the age difference by wearing the same
clothes and doing the same things as her
older sister but there was a hierarchy
and margaret always came behind the
queen
as for her love life she later had the
hots for a hunky writer roddy llewellyn
who began dating margaret when he was 26
and she was 43 as llewellyn told the
telegraph she's also rumored to have had
an affair with rocker mick jagger an
insider told biographer christopher
anderson she found him sexy and exciting
if you saw them laughing together
dancing the way she'd put her hand on
his knee and giggle at his stories like
a schoolgirl you'd have thought there
was something going on
don't be fooled by her cherubic
countenance princess charlotte is a
royal rebel in the making from insulting
reporters to being domineering over her
brothers charlotte is no goody two-shoes
on the way to her baby brother louie's
christening she trolled the paparazzi by
telling them quote you're not coming a
hilarious dig captured by the sun ouch
making it clear just how much he really
doesn't care for having her photo taken
charlotte got super cheeky on another
occasion at a regatta charity event she
boldly stuck her tongue out at
photographers as her mom seemingly
attempted to assuage the situation
sticking her tongue out at the paps
seems to be her modus operandi as she
also cheekily made the gesture at harry
and megan's wedding while dressed in her
angelic flower girl ensemble we're
surprised she didn't pair that dainty
dress with combat boots on many
occasions she appears to dominate her
big brother george as reported by abc
news the queen admitted that charlotte
likes to boss george around kate
middleton also has said that charlotte
is often in charge
the disconnect between lady diana's
public and private life is truly
astonishing one of princess diana's most
noble acts was her embrace of aids
patients at a time when homophobic
falsehoods around the virus were
shamefully widespread a doctor who cared
for children with aids in a new york
hospital recalled a poignant encounter
between diana and a patient margaret
hegarty told the new york times about
the incident which was depicted in the
crown saying she did it spontaneously
but she also did the human thing he was
five or six years old and she just
picked him up and hugged him there was
so much misinformation disseminated
about the disease during the 80s and 90s
many people erroneously thought that
they could catch the virus merely
through being in the presence of a
sufferer diana actually making physical
contact with aids patients was testament
not only to her compassionate nature but
also to her commitment to causes deemed
taboo for many royals well i think the
princess actually helped get that
message across padme in fact that she
wasn't wearing gloves
she also loved pop music as dj pat sharp
told entertainment daily it's strange
but she just seemed like a pop fan which
you wouldn't expect her to be being a
royal moreover diana enjoyed hanging out
in gay clubs with her pal freddie
mercury according to the book the power
of positive drinking additionally her
taste in food was equally plebeian in an
interview with marie claire the royal
family's chef daryn mcgrady revealed
that diana loved taking her sons to
mcdonald's when she wasn't there mcgrady
said diana enjoyed healthy eating dishes
like stuffed bell peppers stuffed
eggplant and fish
born into a life of wealth that others
can only dream of the duke and duchess
of york's youngest daughter princess
eugenie may appear obscenely privileged
but she has an altruistic side to her
that is seldom seen during the covet 19
pandemic she volunteered to help feed
the homeless teaming up with the
salvation army and packaging deliveries
for food banks she wrote on instagram we
helped pack trolleys of food that are
then taken and distributed to the army's
hugely important and much-needed food
banks that feed thousands across the uk
what's more eugenie's life has not been
as easy as it may seem she was diagnosed
with scoliosis as a child and now
campaigns for the royal national
orthopaedic hospital nhs trust she wrote
in a blog post during my recent visit to
the hospital's stanmore site where i was
treated i was reminded of how remarkable
a place it is i met a young cancer
patient who had had a bone removed from
his leg and replaced with a bionic
prosthesis which grows at the same rate
as his leg this amazing technology was
invented by specialists at the rnoh in
2003 and is now used all over the world
on the surface prince michael of kent
who is the queen's first cousin seems
like a respectable businessman as his
official website highlights he gives
money to numerous reputable charities
and once served his country in the armed
forces but an expose by the times and
channel 4 dispatches revealed that he is
far from the man he presents to the
public according to the investigation he
was selling kremlin access undercover
reporters caught michael in a
compromising position whereby he claimed
he could enable access to the higher
echelons of the kremlin he then said
that for a fee of two hundred thousand
dollars he would give the bogus
organization his royal seal of approval
i've been
connected with russia for a long time
his pal the marquis of reading
interjected saying that they were
speaking discreetly because we wouldn't
want
um the world to know that he's seen
putin um
purely for business reads when a
reporter mentioned that it seemed rather
unusual that michael is friendly with
putin considering the uk's strained
relationship with russia the marquis
went on to claim that putin regards
prince michael as a friend of russia
following the expose michael staunchly
denied that he had a close friendship
with putin claiming he hadn't met up
with him in 18 years
