Camilla used the connection as a pick up line with Charles.

The way in which Bertie used the chair has been lost in the mists of time. Not a heck of a lot of insight here. The fact that Edward VII was a pleasure-seeker is not news. What we have here is an article serving as an advertisement for a TV show.

Call me unimaginative, but I can’t figure the thing out, and neither can the readers of the Daily Mail.

The way in which Bertie used the chair has been lost in the mists of time. I think the picture of the chair shows how it was used, at least in one respect. Those are a set of stirrups aren't they?

You can buy modern day versions of that chair on the internet.
Or, so I’m told.

Imagine a gyn table, and an elevated platform on the floor with thingies to anchor the heels of someone facing the table.
Ingenious, these Victorians.

um ... after a careful review of the potential geometry ...
Party A reclines on bench with feet in stirrups, knees tightly bent.
Party B stands upright with feet resting in footrests.
Tab B goes into slot A?

What about Party C?
From the article
Known romantically as a siege damour, or love-seat, this chair allowed the distinctly unathletic Bertie to have his way with two women simultaneously, all with the minimum of effort.
