"When they were three days old their father offered them to the Chicago World's Fair as an exhibit. Appalled the Canadian government made them wards of the crown and installed them in an elaborate nursery especially built and staffed across from the bleak house in which they were born. Seven years later their father regained control. 'We were transferred to the Big House like a conqued army'. Their six brothers and sisters were hostile the parents tight-lipped and restrictive.

The Prince and The Lily
Spanning three continents and two eras, here is the story of the love affair between the playboy Prince of Wales, Edward VII, and Lilly Langtry, the greatest international beauty of her day. Together they set a new standard of splendor and sensuality for an entire era-the golden Edwardian Age.Their conjunction was virtually inevitable, and their affair, played out over three decades, set the very unbuttoned tone of London society, released by the Prince, the Lily, and the Marlborough House set from the long, bleak, mourning-clad winter of Victorian respectability.... and burned as bright as the Edwardian era it inaugurated. alive with all the pageantry and personalities of an extraordinarily splendid time and with a sweep and grandeur that suggest the inexorable play of historic forces on the individual destiny 372p.plates index; Book
