Jane ridley's life of edward vii is a wonderful book. Gives a glimpse at the over-indulgence that edward vii was known for, but curated on so much more.

Author asserts that bertie never slept with nor fathered children by any of the women he was involved with. Too much detail. Details often contradict previous accounts.
