The assassination was very regrettable, Bertie would have agreed but was Franz Ferdinand really worth a war? I believe he simply would not have let it happen." The Edwardian Era, lasting from 1901 to 1910, is often remembered as a final age of innocence before Europe descended into the savagery of the First World War – a gilded period of refinement and elegance. This is somewhat ironic, as for most of his life the namesake of the era, King Edward VII, embodied exactly none of these virtues.

This book was found in nursery and I used it as part of story time and the children thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to hear it over and over. It has a great message for hygiene and can be related to all children of all ages. But, it wasn’t all can-can girls and music halls. With great power comes great irresponsibility and many paid the price for the Prince’s philandering.

David Roberts was born in Liverpool. He always loved drawing from an early age and couldn’t wait to escape high school and go to art college. There he developed a keen interest in pottery and fashion and went on to study a degree in fashion design at Manchester Metropolitan University. After university he worked as a milliner and began to get work as a fashion illustrator but always felt his true calling was in children’s book illustration. Letter from Mrs Elise Stonor to Queen Victoria, 11 April 1871, quoted in Battiscombe, Georgina (1969), Queen Alexandra, London: Constable, p.112, ISBN 978-0-09-456560-9 and Ridley, p. 140Edward VII (Albert Edward; 9 November 1841 – 6 May 1910) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910. Rather than waving the crown jewels at anything in a skirt, today it’s likely that Bertie would join the likes of Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, David Duchovny, Robbie Williams, Russell Brand, and Tiger Woods in rehab, being treated for compulsive sexual behaviour. It’s very easy to romanticise the playboy prince, but it’s worth remembering that he occupied a position of enormous power and doubtless abused that to satisfy himself. There are now over 30 titles in the series and more on the way. Dirty Bertie is available on Audio and is published in 27 languages around the world including German, Spanish, Chinese, Welsh and many others. Public grief in Britain on Bertie's death at 70 was deeper than when his mother died. The press described him as a "peacemaker" who had enjoyed "one of the most brilliant and fruitful reigns in history". In Austria he was hailed as "the most influential man of the present day" and a monarch "who had been his own foreign minister".
