Subject: RE: Anti-Monarchist Folk Songs
Great lover of Queen Eleanor's Confession myself: it's on my You Tube channel. First learned it from Sandy Paton IIRC.

Only really false note above is Vic Gammon's about Q Victoria "lying back and thinking of England". That might have been the advice given by their mothers to mid-C19 brides on their wedding eve according to certain dubious folklore, along with the injunction that "much as you may hate it, remember that it has happened to the dear Queen". But it is on trustworthy record, from her own diaries &c, that the Queen herself loved the sex-act and couldn't get enough of it ~~ old Albert was quite some stud from all accounts, and her protracted mourning was largely due to her deprivation & frustration. Whether any of the tales of her subsequently consoling herself with her trusted Highland ghillie John Brown have any basis in fact has of course long been much disputed.
