Prince Andrew – What Do You Expect with HIS Family Background?
Things get pretty mixed up over the course of 1600 years, but there is a smidge of the blood of Alfred the Great in the veins of Prince Andrew. In fact he has some kind of relationship to most of the occupants of the English throne. And while some of them are admirable human beings, the plain fact is that there are some monsters in there too. They really don’t constitute a great advert for family values in the round. Some of them took mistresses in a raffish and charming way, like say Charles II. Others would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Henry VIII even started a new religion so he could marry who he chose, and later was quite prepared to cut former wives heads off to avoid all the bother of a divorce. George II managed to devote almost his entire energies during his reign to his mistresses.
