You could host a royal edition of The Jeremy
Kyle Show with these lot!
Welcome to WatchMojo UK and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10 Scandals
in the Royal Family.
Nazis?
Sex offenders?
Murderers!?
There’s been no shortage of controversies
within the British Royal Family.
Let’s take a look at the most shocking of
them, and try not get sentenced to a beheading
in the process!
In 1997, the nation and the world was left
in mourning as the once Princess of Wales
died in a fatal car crash whilst being driven
through a tunnel in Paris.
The blame fell to Diana’s driver - who was
supposedly intoxicated at the time - and the
pursuing paparazzi.
Conspiracy theories have been around since
however, with claims that the Royals themselves
orchestrated her murder, furious at her romance
with a Muslim man.
Of course, no royal ever entered a courtroom
as some are simply above the law.
Living more like a rock star and less like
a royal, Prince George, Duke of Kent, was
fifth in line for the throne.
With a 
mantra that less chance of becoming King means
less responsibility, Queen Elizabeth’s Uncle
descended into a life of debauchery, becoming
a sex and cocaine addict.
George eventually met his end in a plane crash,
though conspiracy theories suggest foul play.
Is there a pattern forming here?
Let’s just hope the current Prince George
doesn’t go down the same path!
We’ve all got that one crazy uncle, who’ll
occasionally get caught out offering drugs
and prostitutes to undercover news reporters.
Okay, maybe not that crazy, but it is the
case for our future Queen, herself - Kate
Middleton!
Gary Goldsmith was even recorded committing
the acts by The News of the World in 2009,
and will certainly be one man who doesn’t
miss that paper’s existence.
This is a family connection The Royals definitely
won’t want you to know about.
Careful on the roads, mate!
As covered in series 2 of The Crown, Prince
Philip embarked on a tour aboard royal yacht
-
The Britannia, in 1956.
The trip lead to the divorce and resignation
for his best friend and Equerry.
With countless rumours of affairs, it sounds
as if Philip was fortunate his marriage to
the Queen survived intact.
The whole ordeal even prompted a rare statement
from the Palace regarding their relationship,
that stated - “it is quite untrue that there
is any rift between the Queen and the Duke.”
Sounds convincing!
Where to begin?
Princess Margaret - the Queen’s younger
sister - started a romance with a man 15 years
her senior whilst only young.
She was free to marry him but decided not
to as it would have cost her her royal title.
She eventually married but had a string of
affairs, with younger men this time.
There was also rumours of homosexuality and
drug use.
Not forgetting the nudes of her that nearly
leaked.
Clearly, it’s not just the males in the
Royal family who know how to party!
It’s an appearance by Philip again but what
could top possible infidelity behind the Queen’s
back?
Why it’s racism and xenophobia of course!
Elizabeth’s not so better half has a storied
history of making inappropriate comments in
public, usually aimed at minorities.
The time he told a Filipino nurse that half
her country is empty as all its inhabitants
have migrated to the UK or when he told some
British Students studying in China that they’d
get “slitty eyes” if they stayed much
longer, are just a couple of examples.
It’s one thing when Royals show they’re
too fallible human beings by experimenting
with drug use or sleeping around, but it’s
another entirely when one is accused of nonconsensual
sex with a minor, which is the case of Prince
Andrew.
An American woman made the claim regarding
Prince Charles’ younger brother, stating
it was organised by Andrew’s friend and
convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein - who’s
also been said to have links with the likes
of Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey.
Clearly the prince is in good company then!
Prince Harry’s been responsible for various
questionable antics over the years, perhaps
none more memorable than the time he was snapped
sporting a Nazi uniform.
Not the wisest move, but then his Nan - The
Queen - did make a Nazi salute as a child,
and her uncle - King Edward VIII - went as
far as to visit the Nazi party, so perhaps
he didn’t have the best influences.
The time Harry was pictured naked or the occasion
he was caught smoking pot almost pale in comparison.
Speaking of King Edward VIII, he had worn
the crown for not even a year when he gave
it up to marry American two time divorcee
- Wallis Simpson.
It’s alleged Edward wasn’t most fond of
the royal life anyhow, and when the church
forbade the union with the woman he loved,
it was a simple choice to make for the short
reigned king.
It may have been worth it too, as the couple
remained happily married as Duke and Duchess
of Windsor, until Edward’s death in 1972.
Camilla may have been Prince Charles’ first
love, meeting her before he did Dianna, but
was not given permission to marry her at the
time due to the fact she had had previous
boyfriends.
The Prince never gave up though, and even
started an affair with her whilst they were
both in marriages to other people! Diana had
her own affair, mind you, with James Hewitt
- who’s even rumoured to be Prince Harry’s
biological father!
Charles 
and Camilla meanwhile, would finally marry
in 2005.
