What is a nickname for King Edward the VII?
2006-10-12 02:26:26 · update #1
He was known to his family as 'Bertie'. However, he also had a few other nicknames: Edward the Caresser, because of his rather rampant womanizing. He was also occassionally called "Tum tum" because of his weight, although this was more in private. At a party he commented to a friend that he was very drunk, the friend responded, "and you tum tum, are very fat". The friend was escorted out of the royal residence early the next morning.
