24. The Prince had a special love chair designed for him so he could enjoy the company of two ladies at once!

So voracious was the Playboy Prince’s sexual appetite that he was rarely satisfied with one woman at a time. He enjoyed having sex with two or more partners simultaneously. As he got older, however, he became much heavier and risked crushing his lovers. To fix this, Edward commissioned the French furniture manufacturer Soubrier to make him a chair that would allow him to make love to two partners at the same time. The Love Chair (or Seige d’amour) is today owned by the firm that made it and remains one of the world’s weirdest pieces of royal memorabilia.
