'When you have a system based on privilege by birthright, it’s hard to cast anyone out for immorality. If you can effectively fire someone from being a royal, what’s a royal, anyway?' Prince Andrew is testing the royals' playbook for scandal
All his life, James was in thrall to handsome young men, from his cousin Esmé Stuart, whom he made Duke of Lennox in 1581, to Robert Carr, later the Earl of Somerset, and George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham. Soon after his marriage, James was being called in Edinburgh “a bougerer, one that left his wife all the night intactam [untouched]” and in 1624, when he was dying, he wrote to Buckingham calling him “my sweet child and wife”.
Certain important episodes in James’s life become explicable as assignations or attempts at blackmail. In the so-called Gowrie conspiracy of 1600, what was James doing, going off alone - a king, alone - to a remote chamber with the handsome, 20-year-old Alexander Ruthven? His story of going to meet a stranger who had treasure was not believed in Edinburgh, and neither gold nor stranger ever turned up.
Perhaps the most famously hedonistic court was that of Stuart successor Charles II. His reign was known as the Restoration, because it followed a period without a king . He’d spent the intervening years exiled to France, broke; once upon the throne, his lifestyle as king earned him the title of the “Merry Monarch.
Prince Harry’s partying has generally been seen as a charming laddishness, granting him a forbearance that allowed him to skate through naked photos from Las Vegas and a Nazi costume.
