QUEEN VICTORIA'S EMPIRE : A PBS VIDEO : THE BEBEES

PBS ORG EMPIRES/ VICTORIA

The Bebees were the Indian women who became mistresses to Englishmen during Victoria's reign and a time when the English were in India, changing the culture. 

Here at Mistress Manifesto BlogSpot we look at the reasons why women become Mistresses, and class and racial differences in certain times and places prevented women from becoming Wives. Throughout history women in love with men who cannot marry them due to differences in class, wealth, color, or other aspects of their place in life have decided to be Mistresses - the woman with the smaller house, the extramarital children - who remains in the shadows.  

Lola Montez was a wife of an army man sent to India during the Victorian era.  As I understand it, one of Princess Diana's direct line female ancestors was a woman of at least partial Indian heritage.  That means that William and Harry have a touch of India in their DNA.

The entire series is available through various YouTube postings.

TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY : APRIL 29 is WILLIAM and KATE'S ROYAL WEDDING

Is this maybe the largest and most final of big royal weddings of the European kind?

They have had a very long courtship, one significant break-up in all those years, and it seems that William is dedicated to Kate but will this royal marriage be the love connection that it seems to be forever.

HOW CAN PRINCESS KATHERINE OF WALES MISTRESS-PROOF HER ROYAL MARRIAGE?

PRINCE WILLIAM EXPECTED TO HAVE MISTRESSES? IS KATE HOLDING UP THE WEDDING ?

A note - June 12 2024

All these years later, the marriage of William and Kate seems quite successful with only one possible accusation that he might be too close to a certain other woman.

WE KNOW THAT SOMETIMES TABLOIDS MAKE UP STORIES... and we know there is so much speculation about PRINCE WILLIAM and KATE MIDDLETON, who, let's face it, have been dating/living together for years without CIVIL or RELIGIOUS MARRIAGE...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE KATE? We suppose she is in love with him... and he her, and also that it's about time for them to marry and have their own heir and a spare... KATE IS GETTING TO THAT AGE WHERE HER FERTILITY is on the decline... Yes there is time left for her to have a child. But the throne may just go from Queen Elizabeth to William and then?

Link now to an article in SHOWBIZ SPY... it says Kate has been told he will have mistresses and she will have to put up with them so she delayed the wedding.

CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES : MISTRESS THEN WIFE OF PRINCE CHARLES : MISTRESS OF THE MONTH

This month we celebrate CAMILLA PARKER BOWLES WINDSOR... Mistress and then wife of Prince Charles of England - and all those other titles.

I was going to wait but the NEWS that Princess Diana's son William may announce his engagement this month to his long time (9 years?) love and well, that Queen Elizabeth, now 83 years old, may start handing over some of her duties to him while keeping her post as Queen, which brings up all the controversies of whether or not she will ever let Prince Charles become King.
