23. A bordello in Paris had a room and a champagne-filled bathtub reserved for its best customer, the Prince of Wales
Blessed with almost-limitless wealth and near-complete freedom, Edward was free to indulge his sexual whims however he saw fit. One of his great loves was to travel to Paris to enjoy the company of high-class French sex workers. Above all, the Crown Prince liked to frequent a luxurious bawdy house called La Chabanais. He was such a regular customer that he had his own private room, fitted with a huge bathtub. Edward would ask for this to be filled up with fine champagne and then he would bathe in it for hours at a time – in the company of several young sex workers, of course.
