25. Unlike many other royals, not one single lady ever came forward claiming Edward fathered their child
Despite his numerous affairs, no one lady ever came forward claiming to have given birth to one of Edward’s illegitimate children. Similarly, in later years, nobody claimed to be one of the royal’s offspring. This may have been down to the fact Edward was notoriously private and secretive. Though a known playboy and womanizer, he burned most love letters and kept diary entries vague, destroying any potential evidence. Nevertheless, to this day, some still believe that Edward fathered one of Alice Keppel’s children.
