A detailed look at the two women in the life of Edward VII during his last years.
Alice Keppel, youngest daughter of a Scottish retired admiral and MP emerged from obscurity in 1898 to become the publicly acknowledged mistress of the portly, fun-loving Prince of Wales, the future Edward VII.
Agnes Keyser, daughter of a prominent member of the Stock exchange, defied social expectations by not marrying, instead becoming involved in hospital charity work. Her twelve-year relationship with the king was much less in the public eye, but was just as important.
RAYMOND LAMONT-BROWN is the author of Carnegie, Edward VII's Last Loves, John Brown and Kempeitai: Japan's Dreaded Military Police.
