An explosive new book promises to lift the lid on one of history's sauciest characters.

High society It girl Lady Melbourne rocked Georgian society with a string of lovers - including the Prince of Wales.

So salacious were the extra-marital affairs of Lady M, known as Elizabeth Lamb, that she had six children - including Queen Victoria's favourite prime minister Lord Melbourne - but only one was fathered by her husband, Sir Peniston Lamb.

Lady Melbourne's fourth son, George, who was born in 1784, was almost certainly sired by Prince George, the Prince of Wales, who later became George IV.

As bad as the peerage was, trust the Brits to replace it with a system which performs orders of magnitude worse.

Big deal. Did she know Mohandas?

Did Lady Melbourne take long automobile trips--staring out the window--long views of rolling pastures and--big, roaming cows?

William was her son; you got it wrong yet again!

William was married to Caroline, who had a blazing affair with Lord Byron, whom she said was "....MAD, BAD, AND DANGEROUS TO KNOW." !

Charles Lamb was an author, who wrote a book of Shakespeare plays for children :"TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE", with his sister.

Did George ever oil his bald head and rub it all over her body?

What the bleeding hell are you talking about?

George, the Price of Wales, was in his early 20s, not yet grossly fat, nor bald, when he supposedly had an affair with Lady Melbourne and supposedly sired her son William.
