Books 2014: Dirty Bertie
Another infotainment book from Stephen Clarke, this time about British francophile royalty, King Edward VII, apparently also known as Dirty Bertie. Prince Edward became a great fan of the French jet set lifestyle and was called the playboy prince. This is a book about his life, from a young boy and the eldest son of Queen Vicotira (who really didn't believe in him) until he died in 1910, a popular and respected King. An enjoyable biography of the lighter sort. Clarke, Stephen (2014). Dirty Bertie; An English King made in France . London: Century. Kindle edition.
