7 British Monarchs Who May Have Been Gay
For centuries men lived in one sphere and women in another and they would approach together for marriage and having children. It seemed that the sexes co-existed mainly to endure the human race. Love and sex can be very different factors but, when put together, they can manufacture the most electric sensation. This was no different for kings and queens who were finalize to their favourites. There are several British monarchs who may have been gay. In proof, six kings – and one queen are thought to have been queer, members of what we now contact the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi- and transexual) community. They include:
William II of England
The son of William the Conqueror, who took the throne of England in 1066, was known as William Rufus because of his red hair (‘rufus’ meaning red). William II became King of England in 1087 and was often described as ‘effeminate’ and with a keen interest in fashionable young men.

Update, 4/9:Prince Philip has passed away at 99. "It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband," the palace said in a statement.
Elizabeth may be Queen and all, but Prince Philip was still the patriarch of the royal family with huge sway. And perhaps nothing has done more to main attraction that in recent years than Netflix's The Crown. Doctor Who alum Matt Smith played Philip in the series' first two seasons, Tobias Menzies took over the role for seasons three and four, and Jonathan Pryce will step in as the Duke of Edinburgh for the show's final two seasons. Here's what The Crown got right—and wrong—about the royal.
Wrong: Prince Philip didn't want to kneel to Queen Elizabeth.
Although it makes for a deliciously dramatic moment in the series, because Philip came from royalty himself, it’s considered very unlikely he would have actually had a problem kneeling to Elizabeth—it's an established sign of respect for the monarch.

Revealed: Prince Philip's married uncle was involved in an incestuous relationship with his OWN uncle - as remarkable details of family love triangle emerge writes royal author CHRISTOPHER WILSON
She'd never even kissed her husband properly before they married. And so on her wedding night, Princess Marie Bonaparte was shocked by what occurred in the bedroom.
'You took me that night in a short, brutal gesture, as if forcing yourself,' she later wrote to her spouse, Prince George of Greece. 'Then you apologised – "I hate it as much as you do. But we must do it if we are to have children".'
So began the bizarre marriage of Prince Philip's aunt and uncle, in whose life he was entangled for the first ten years of his life.
Princess Marie, colossally wealthy, was Philip's benefactor and saviour. It was her capital which put a roof over his head when his parents were kicked out of Greece in 1922, and her funds which paid for his private schooling.
Philip, his sisters and their parents, Prince and Princess Andrew of Greece, took refuge in a house on Marie's estate in Saint-Cloud, a suburb of Paris. And as he grew up, across the shaved lawns came whispered words of the strange sexual

The Queen and Prince Philip's love story is one for the ages, but some are sceptical about the Duke of Edinburgh's fidelity - and now an actor has made some shocking claims.
The Queen and Prince Philip's enduring admire story is quite remarkable - but some are sceptical about Philip's fidelity. The couple met when the young princess was just 13 - and their relationship eventually evolved into a 73-year marriage that lasted until his dying day.
But now star Michael Sheen has made the surprising claim that the prince ''had affairs all his life''. The Welsh actor made the cheating allegations during an appearance on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre podcast.
He was there to talk about his experience playing Prince Andrew in 'A Very Royal Scandal', which focused on the Duke of York's now-infamous disastrous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis.
Michael started to discuss how Andrew had been "forced into a divorce'' from Sarah Ferguson. The couple split in 1996 after ten years o
