Evan, Lord Tredegar: Biography Not Behind Lace Curtains from William Cross



Not Behind Lace Curtains 

The hidden world of Evan, Viscount Tredegar 

From Evan Morgan's biographer, William Cross


 This is the only biography on the eccentric Welsh peer,  Evan Frederic Morgan, Viscount Tredegar, 1893-1949.

 This book explores the darker side  to the life  and times of Evan Morgan, Viscount Tredegar, including Evan’s  dabbling in the occult and his dependency on   “rough trade” amongst  the sin- spots of London, Paris, North Africa and Bali. The narrative reveals  the many personalties  that  Evan knew  around the first half of the 20th century   with  some  bizarre details about Evan’s double life;  on the one hand the colourful  dandy,  aristocrat, generous  host, and patron of the arts   who married twice  but  at the same time  was  taking male lovers.  This  is  a story that had  dared  not be revealed before now.  Adult themes.

Porchey Carnarvon's Two Duped Wives : Catherine Wendell and Tilly Losch

Porchey Carnarvon ‘Hunting, Shooting and Flirting’ Names are deceptive. Take the Sixth Earl of Carnarvon: his full baptismal names were Henry George Alfred Marius Victor Francis Herbert but he was better known as just ‘Porchey’ Carnarvon. The name Porchey was a nickname derived from his courtesy title of ‘Lord Porchester’. Informally, family and friends addressed Henry as Porchey before and after 1923. This was the year when on 5th April ( at the age of twenty-four) he became the Sixth Earl of Carnarvon, succeeding his infamous predecessor George (the Fifth Earl) who was the Lord Carnarvon who discovered the priceless Tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. The Fifth Earl had used the same nickname of Porchey before he succeeded his father, Henry, the Fourth Earl. No doubt it continues for the Carnarvon heir-in-waiting who is currently the eldest son of George, (Jordy) the present Eighth Earl of Carnarvon. The Carnarvons are a cadet branch of the Herbe

  TUTANKHAMUN CENTENARY 2022 Almina Carnarvon Remembers Her Time In The   USA   In 1903   Oh! My Dears! I   simply couldn’t stand America or the Americans. In January 1903  when  my  husband, Lord Carnarvon,  was intent on a visit to the United States to buy race horses  we were forced through illness to forfeit the passage booked on the RMS Celtic, due out of Liverpool on 14 January. The illness of our dear  son  Henry,  Lord Porchester,  who had a high temperature and a general malaise,  detained us at  our home at Highclere Castle . By the way, my dears,   Henry was really Prince Victor  Duleep Singh’s procreation. The poor boy suffered a succession of childhood pains and woes. We had to thrash him rather a lot too as he was  a lazy boy and a wicked one.   As we were setting off for Liverpool   nanny and nurse both begged us to dally a while to see if Henry recovered his faculties.   Dear, sweet, lovely Prince Victor,  officially his godfather,  who dotted on the bo
