Jaw-Dropping Fun Facts About Universal Family Secrets, Scandals, Deceptions, and Deathbed Confessions Around the World in Eighty Secrets - A Globe-Trotting Tour of Hilariously Absurd Family Scandals and Cultural Confession in Monarchies across Centuries. Kings, queens, emperors, and the occasional goat-this book is your boarding pass to a royally ridiculous expedition through the lesser-known (and often better-left-forgotten) misadventures of monarchies from every dusty corner of the globe. From incestuous intrigue in imperial bathtubs to the surprisingly aggressive pillow fights of Victorian aristocracy, no throne is too sacred, no lineage too untouchable. This is history with the powdered wig off: gloriously unfiltered, wickedly researched, and gleefully inappropriate. Each page offers a confession booth's worth of scandal, spiked with cultural quirks, eyebrow-raising rituals, and dynastic disasters that somehow survived the annals of history. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll wonder how half these people managed to rule anything besides their wine cellar. Buy it now if you like your history unbuttoned and your monarchs messy.
