This Newcastle railway bridge was named the 'King Edward 7th' bridge after this King below. WHY? Have we always been stupid in the UK Edward 7th reigned from 1901 to 1910 & was nicknamed 'Dirty Bertie' during his long tenure as the Prince of Wales due to his scandalous, hedonistic and sexually active lifestyle.He was a serial womanizer and had at least 55 affairs with actresses,aristocrats & prostitutes & had his own dedicated room in a Paris Brothel. Our Queen Consort Camilla's great gran Alice Keppel was a Aristocrat and she was a mistress of Dirty Bertie.
