Was this the throne-shaking story the butler is supposed to be releasing? Good grief - British aristocrats have been buggering one another since Algore invented it in AD 100. I think it's kinda like a lodge initiation.

Well, I might have my history wrong there. It may have been earlier than that.

Well, there was Edward II, subject of Marlowe's tragedy. He was executed according to his sins.

And there was James I and his pal, the Duke of Buckingham. (When someone complained that the King was was too close to the Duke, James, who thought himself divine, is said to have responded: "Jesus had his John, and I have my Charles.")

"...the time-honored traditions of the Royal Navy? And what might they be? I shall tell you in three words: rum, buggery and the lash!" -- Winston Churchill

That is part 1 of the story. Part two is the Charles guy "buddy" raped somebody and the Palace guard is covering it up. Burrel supposedly have some audio tape that he is being coy about.

If you're referring to the butler's book, no, there's nothing about this in the book.
