King Edward VIII renounced his title in 1937, a year after he took the throne, so he could marry Wallis Simpson. Wallis was an American socialite who divorced her first

husband and was divorcing her second. With all those failed marriages, no one thought she was fit to be his wife. King Edward was forbidden by the Church of England

to marry her. So, he had no choice but to give up his title. The two married and stayed married until his death in 1972. 

Prince Charles actually dated Princess Diana's sister, Lady Sarah, first. The only reason the Prince even met Diana was because of her sister. This is not confirmed, but has been

tabloid fodder for decades. 

When Prince Charles was 14 and underage, he ordered a cherry brandy at a pub (fancy British word for a bar). It was a huge scandal and I'm not sure

why. People in England start drinking young, don't they? Like, 16...? So what if he was a couple years early? 

Not only did Princess Anne get a divorce from her husband, but while announcing her divorce she said she would be marrying Sir Timothy Laurence who she met (and fell

in love with, maybe) while she was still married. Did she cheat or didn't she cheat? It's too much of a gray area to say for sure. 

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillips are actually distant cousins.... That's actually quite common amongst British aristocracy. 

Princess Margaret fell in love with Captain Peter Townsend. Unfortunately, he was already married when they met and when he divorced his wife and proposed to the Princess, the scandal

broke! Fortunately, the couple married and had two children together before divorcing...which prompted another scandal for Princess Margaret. 

Queen Elizabeth II, along with her sister Margaret, decided to leave the palace life for a night of partying on VE day in 1945. The story was documented in the

2015 movie, "A Royal Night Out." *GASP*

A long, long, long time ago, Queen Victoria, had a boudoir painting done of her. This was very unheard of for someone of her status and the painting was kept

hidden. I love that this happened! Cheers, Vickie. 

After she was widowed, Queen Victoria hid out in an estate in Scotland where she is said to have married one of her servants, Jon Brown. This story is too

beautiful to be a scandal!

The Duchess of Alba, who died in 2014, married at the age of 85. It wasn't her first marriage, but still, that's pretty late in the game to tie the

knot. To make it even more scandalous, the man she married was 25 years younger. I see you!

Prince Carl Philip married Sofia Hellqvist, a reality star. She was on the reality show "Paradise Hotel" and she even posed for "Slitz" which is a bawdy men's magazine. Needless to

say, people talked but they didn't let the whispers stop them. If you ask me, in a way, this relationship sort of paved the way for Henry and Meghan's. 

Prince George, the Duke of Kent, died in a plane crash that some thought might've been orchestrated by the family. The Prince was kind of a playboy with a drug

issue though, and no evidence of foul play was ever discovered.

I don't think it's much of a secret that King Henry VIII had like a zillion wives. Well, technically it was just six (throughout his reign) but that's kind of a

lot. What's really shocking about this King was that he executed his fifth wife because he believed she was having affairs with other men. DRAMATIC, don't you think?

This is Cressida Bonas. She's one of Prince Harry's ex-girlfriends and guess what? She may or may not be invited the wedding of Harry and Meghan. SCANDAL! Or maybe they're

just friends (suspect). 

Princess Michael wore a culturally insensitive brooch which depicted a black slave while she was having lunch with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's fiancé. She apologized and said she meant no

harm. What do you think?

Some might not remember this but Princess Anne has a criminal record. She's the first senior royal to have one, too. One of her dogs attacked two children and Princess Anne

had to pay the price. She didn't go to jail, she just paid a fine. 

Fergie's made quite a few headlines. This time, she was caught accepting a bribe in exchange for access to her husband, Prince Andrew. She denied the claims but did admit

to have a drinking problem, so maybe she forgot she did it.   

🤷

George V and his wife Mary had a sixth son who suffered from seizures. They decided to hide him away because they didn't want the public to know he was sick.

They saw his seizures as a sign of weakness. It wasn't until his death that his illness became public. 

Captain Phillips was married to Princess Anne when he had a child with another woman! Now, that's way more scandalicious than what Princess Anne was shamed for!

Never forget that time when Prince Andrew dated a porn star and actually introduced the woman to his mother, THE QUEEN. 

Raise your hand if you remember that one time Prince Harry was caught running around naked in Vegas.  ;). 

Do you remember when some random guy snuck into Buckingham Palace and walked right into Queen Elizabeth's room????? The worst part was that she was in the room. She ran out

immediately. How did a stranger just walk right into the queen's room like that? Security!?

The only reason this one isn't higher up on this list is because I know my girl, Kate, handled her man when he got home from that "boy's trip".

Sarah Ferguson was caught by the media getting her toe licked by another man when she was married to Prince Andrew. The biggest issue I have with this story is

WHY THE HECK WAS HER TOE BEING LICKED? Is this a thing royals enjoy in their spare time?

Prince Harry was, and still is kind a controversial member of the royal family. But it really hit the fan for him when he spent some time in a rehab

clinic for a drug issue. I think it's great he went to rehab (even if it was just for a day) BUT a scandal was a scandal, and this is

a scandal! 

Prince Charles cheated on the "People's Princess" and in a desperate attempt to get his attention, Diana threw herself down the stairs when she was just four months pregnant. I'm

still shocked that she admitted that to the world. Very scandalous!

Who is this woman? Why, this is Prince Charles' second wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. She was the one Prince Charles had an affair with while still married to Diana.

To be fair though, Diana had affairs of her own. Can't hate on Charles too much!

It is believed that Queen Elizabeth II doesn't (or, didn't) like Prince Charles' wife, Camilla. She didn't even go to their wedding and supposedly she referred to Camilla as a "wicked

woman".

...That's what happens when you're too busy getting your toes sucked, Sarah. LOL.

And if marrying a divorcee wasn't bad enough, King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson were supposedly very close with Adolf Hitler. It's even believed that King Edward was whispering secrets

about the British government into Hitler's ears. Smh. King Edward VIII and his wife are ranked low in my book for this one.

Clothes must be an American thing, huh? I joke. But along with Prince Harry, pictures of Sophia topless emerged. And it happened right before her marriage to Prince Edward. Awkward. What's

more scandalous than having your boobs shown to the world right before you plan to marry a prince?!

Speaking of affairs, Princess Diana's affair with James Gilbey was publicized when "The Sun" leaked taped recordings of the two in a very intimate conversation. That was CRAZY!

And the fun didn't stop there! Prince Charles' sexy conversation, which was filled with dirty jokes, between him and Camilla (the woman he cheated on Diana with) was also made public

to the media. Seems like neither Charles nor Diana was great at keeping secrets.

Princess Diana spilled ALL the tea in an interview in 1995. She even disclosed the details of her husband's affair, and her own. It's no wonder she and Prince Charles

divorced a year after that interview. How do you bounce back from all that drama?! You can't. 

The only reason this one was so scandalous was because it happened pretty recently. Sorry, Kate. I love you and I don't think it was right you were photographed BUT, it

was indeed scandalous. Anything racy is considered scandalous when it comes to the royals.

You probably haven't heard this one before. WELL, Princess Beatrix's husband, Claus, was a member of the Hitler Youth. People were PISSED that she was marrying him. But, they continued

with their wedding and remained together until Claus died. 

Prince Andrew was accused of keeping a woman as a "sex slave." However, nothing ever came of the allegations. A judge dropped all the charges. Sounds like he might've gotten

away with it because of his powerful relationships....what do you think?

Who could forget when Prince Harry dressed up as a Nazi for a costume party? He apologized, but still...very poor taste!

This has been a rumor for quite some time! Some believe Prince Harry's dad isn't Prince Charles, but James Hewitt. He had an affair with Princess Diana around the time

Harry would've been conceived. Go figure! 

The biggest scandal, to date, is Princess Diana's death. Some believe her death was planned by Prince Charles. Whether it was to get her out of the picture so he

could marry Camilla or because he was upset with her having so many boyfriends. Either way, Princess Diana's death was shocking and there are many conspiracies behind it.
