On the night of April 14, 1912, 2,224 people faced doom in the middle of the fridge north Atlantic. The luxury liner hailed as unsinkable was about to do just that and disappear beneath the waves.

Charles II, King of England, Scotland & Ireland from 1660 to 1685 is one of the most notorious lotharios in history. He loved the ladies and took both noble women and commoner actresses to bed, sometimes multiple times a day. And the ladies were certainly up for it. In addition to enjoying the charming sovereign’s company, they also enjoyed the gifts, estates, and noble titles he lavished upon them and their children. Last week we met Charles’s 14 known mistresses. Today we’ll meet the results of all that sensual behavior, the King’s 13 recognized illegitimate children. To his sons he granted Dukedoms and Earldoms and for his daughters he arranged marriages to the wealthiest noble bachelors. The King personally populated a new generation of English peers. But despite his lusty libido, Charles didn’t have a single legitimate child to inherit his throne. When he died and his unpopular brother became King James II many in the nation looked to his eldest illegitimate son as a possible alternative monarch and rebellion ensued. Let’s meet King Charles II’s 13 Illegitimate Children... James Scott, Duke of Monmouth Charlotte FitzRoy, Countess of Yarmouth Charles FitzCharles, Earl of Plymouth Catherine FitzCharles Anne Palmer, Countess of Sussex Charles FitzRoy, Duke of Cleveland Henry FitzRoy, Duke of Grafton Charlotte Lee, Countess of Lichfield George FitzRoy, Duke of Northumberland Charles Beauclerk, Duke of St Albans James Beauclerk Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond Mary Tudor, Countess of Derwentwater Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Charles II, King of England, Scotland & Ireland from 1660 to 1685 is one of the most notorious lotharios in history. The swarthy sovereign started early and continued making love, sometimes multiple times a day, until the week he died at 54. His court was famous for it’s flagrant hedonism and he took both noble ladies and commoner actresses to bed. The women were certainly up for it. They took advantage of the charming King’s affections to gain wealth and power they would never have had access to otherwise. Those who were fortunate enough to bare the King one of his 13 illegitimate children saw their offspring elevated to the peerage. Let’s meet the 14 known mistresses of King Charles II: Christabella Wyndham Lucy Walter Jane Roberts Elizabeth Killigrew Catherine Pegge Barbara Villiers (Barbara Palmer) Winifred Wells Mary Bagot Mrs. Knight Nell Gwyn Louise de Kérouaille Mary ‘Moll’ Davis Hortense Mancini Elizabeth Jones + Frances Stewart who managed to keep the King out of her bed Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

I have been enchanted by Disney since childhood. And as an adult, whenever I’m watching any movie or TV show, I can’t help but play “Where do I know that actor from?” Thank you, IMDB for making my adult life that little bit easier. One of my first forays into content creation, way back in 2014 was a series I made called “Disney Doppelgangers” where I compare two or more famous animated Disney characters who are voiced by or modeled after the same actor. Alice and Wendy; the Queen of Hearts & Fairy Godmother; Baloo and Little John and many more! I still love this series and often recommend it to Kids who are interested in checking out my work.

Gráinne Ní Mháille known as Grace O’Malley in English was raised aboard her father’s ships. Her charisma then won her the loyalty of her husband’s men. Together they traded and marauded the rouged west coast of Ireland. They feuded with other clans until the English came to take over the nation. Gráinne and her English nemesis nearly destroyed each other until she went over his head and met directly with Queen Elizabeth I to get a royal sanctioned piracy license.

When Queen Elizabeth II and her family went on vacation, they didn’t fly coach or take a carnival cruise. They traveled in style aboard Her Majesty’s Yacht Britannia. The Queen designed the ship herself the year of her coronation. This was her favorite place to be, where she could truly unwind. I recently had the opportunity to tour this historic yacht in Edinburgh, Scotland. And to talk with the Yotties who served the Queen while she traveled the world. Let’s explore this floating time capsule, learn how it functioned, find out where the royals visited, what they ate, how they slept and relaxed. I’ll dish on the four honeymoons which took place on board, and we’ll be treated to an intimate glimpse of the British royal family at their most relaxed, while on vacation!

Leeds Castle has been called the loveliest castle in England and it certainly lives up to the name. The elegant stone keep, towers, and crenelated battlements surrounded by a tranquil moat, beautiful gardens and lush parkland are exactly what you would picture as an idealized medieval castle. Across the centuries, it has often been strong women who have owned, enjoyed, renovated and defended Leeds castle. It was the tranquil retreat for generations of medieval Queens, the scene of a deadly stand-off between great ladies, a prison for two accused royal witches, and a luxurious playground for aristocrats and Hollywood stars. I have fond memories of coming her as a child, and I’m excited to be back. So come with me as we explore this tranquil castle and it’s scandalous history! Queen Eleanor of Castile Queen Margaret of France Queen Isabella of France Queen Anne of Bohemia Queen Joan of Navarre Queen Catherine of Valois Eleanor, Duchess of Gloucester Queen Catherine of Aragon Olive, Lady Baillie Leeds Castle did not comp my stay, so this is not a paid promotion. I just love this Castle! Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

In the last episode we met 7 living former monarchs who chose to retire, hand their thrones to their children and enjoy their golden years. But not all living former monarchs chose to get off the throne, some were pushed off. In the 20th century, 28 national-level monarchies across the world were abolished. Their former sovereigns were downgraded, exiled or even executed. As the majority of these revolutions and coups happened in the first half of the century, few ex monarchs are still alive today. Their children and grandchildren carry on defunct royal dynastic lines and, if they’re lucky, enjoy what’s left of their ancestors’ glory, palaces, and fortunes. Today there are only 4 living former monarchs who lost their thrones when their monarchies were abolished. All of their reigns ended and one began in bloodshed. And one managed to return to his former Kingdom and be democratically elected Prime minister. Let’s meet them! Jamshid bin Abdullah, Former Sultan of Zanzibar Simeon II, Former Tsar of Bulgaria Gyanendra, Former King of Nepal Fuad II, Former King of Egypt and the Sudan Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Queen Elizabeth II considered abdication to be a dirty word. She remained on the throne until her death at 96, and left her son Charles to waiting 73 years to take the job he was born to. But abdication is not so despised in other countries. In recent decades more monarchs have elected to retire and pass the throne on to the next generation. Thus allowing them to spend their golden years relaxing and enjoying their ridiculously well-funded retirement plans. Plus we’ll find out what an ex monarch does in retirement; from studying fish to living in a log cabin to getting into even more scandal than they did on the throne. Let’s meet the world’s 6 living former monarchs... Akihito, Former Emperor of Japan Albert II, Former King of Belgium Juan Carlos I, Former King of Spain Beatrix, Former Queen of the Netherlands Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Former Emir of Qatar Jigme Singye Wangchuck, Former Dragon King of Bhutan Margrethe II , Former Queen of Denmark Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
