<risk assessment 50-50>
I'm a slight Anglophile, although not geogaphically speaking. I could not pick out a single county or shire in Great Britain. But I am slightly amused by the under-the-table shenanigans of royalty when I have nothing better to do.
I recently picked this up this titillating little tidbit while looking up something about the actress Lillie Langtry. While he was married to Princess Alexandra, the Prince of Wales was carrying on an affair with Ms. Langtry, spent lavishly on her, and even built a house for her as a retreat for the both of them to... umm... "carry on."
The Prince complained to her that he had spent enough on her to build a battleship. Her reply was, "Yes, and you've spent enough in me to float one."
I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.
