Lord Mountbatten WAS GAY!

Idiot, factless assertion.

Why were the young boys sleeping on the boat?

He was Prince Philip's mentor.

He ended up going all to pieces.

Lord Mountbatten was a homosexual with a perversion for young boys.

A British noble a homosexual?

Color me shocked!

I thought this was known.

[quote]But recently uncovered FBI files and new interviews paint the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma as a sexually voracious man whose bisexuality became a theme of US intelligence files. The documents came to light during research for a biography of Lord Mountbatten and his wife a by Andrew Lownie, a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and president of the Biographers’ Club.

[quote]Since the assassination of Mountbatten in an IRA bomb attack 40 years ago, rumours have swirled about his sexuality, fuelled by his comment: “ a and I spent all our married lives getting into other people’s beds.”

[quote]The FBI files cover more than three decades. The first is dated February 1944, soon after Mountbatten became supreme allied commander of southeast Asia. Elizabeth de la Poer Beresford, Baroness Decies, when interviewed about another matter, had mentioned being an intimate of Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary and their ladies-in-waiting.

[quote]“She states that in these circles Lord Louis Mountbatten and his wife are considered persons of extremely low morals. She stated that Lord Louis Mountbatten was known to be a homosexual with a perversion for young boys. In Lady Decies’ opinion he is an unfit man to direct any sort of military operations because of this condition. She stated further that his wife Lady Mountbatten was considered equally erratic.”

[quote]In April 1957 the FBI produced a memo on allegations of an affair between Paul Robeson, the singer, and a, who had several liaisons with black men. She had an on-off relationship with Leslie “Hutch” Hutchinson and is said to have given the West Indian singer and pianist a gold bracelet bearing her name and a jewelled penis sheath from Cartier.

His wife also supposedly had an affair with Nehru as well. Sorry, the whole article is behind a paywall.

And the walls come tumbling down. Now we have Archie Mountbatten Windsor. What a shame.

It WAS known. The gay history blog Gay Influence has a post about Lord Mountbatten from 2011:

Lord Louis was known as “Dickie” to family and close friends, which was unusual, considering that Richard was not among his given names. Oh, I nearly forgot. "Dickie" was widely known in the military as "Mountbottom." I'm not making this up.

If anyone here has a jeweled penis sheath, please post a picture!

Noel Coward was in love with him, and wrote In Which We Serve as a tribute to him.

Killed by an IRA bomb. Guess they don't care for pedophiles either.

He was called Dickie because his name was Nicholas, but the Russian royals already had a claim on the “Nicky” nickname, so he went with Dickie instead.

He apparently had an affair with Edward VIII when they toured the world in 1920.

I want to see extended rosy family peen

Now I'm much more interested in this woman he "used to flirt with", the Duchess of Argyll. She was a little ahead of her time. I'll remember the first time I ever read the word "bepearled", and that it was followed by "Duchess fellating".

[quote]The evidence discovered resulted in the 1963 divorce case, in which the Duke of Argyll accused his wife of infidelity and included a set of Polaroid photographs of the Duchess nude, save for her signature three-strand pearl necklace, in the company of another man. There were also photographs of the bepearled Duchess fellating a naked man whose face was not shown.

R18, Her story was turned into the chamber opera 'Powder her Face'.

"Killed by an IRA bomb. Guess they don't care for pedophiles either."

The IRA doesn't go in for booze and dope! And pedophiles!

I can understand someone being gay and royal. They may have to enter into a heterosexual marriage to preserve their status and prevent being ostracized. However, being a pedo and using your money and status to hide your peversions is disgusting! And the royals seem to have a lot of pedo's around them!

r21, what are you talking about?

Oldest news ever

How many boys did he mount?

So he was gay because his nickname was "Dickie?"

Here's another with he and Edward cozied up.

^Quite nice tits.

Have you ever seen a grown man naked, Charlie?

[quote] a jewelled penis sheath from Cartier.

You’re slipping, boys. A what?

He was pretty hot in his younger years.

I tried googling "jeweled penis sheath" and nothing came up. Nothing on the Cartier website either.

He was quite the ride I can tell you!

I’ll thumb through my Sotheby’s catalogues.

R5 Is the "'PERV' DOSSIER" a regular feature of the Sun and in every issue pointing out a different perv?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Wouldn't Duke of Windsor and Mountbatten be cousins?

In the Seventies, the rumour I always heard was of course Mountbottom was a huge homo, and he was helping Charles get over his homosexuality for the sake of the crown. (This was when there was a big rumour Charles was gay).

r31, that's because it's an urban legend

I'm the person who posted a link from The Times and a few quotes from the article. I believe The Times is considered a reputable news souce.

Of course, I wasn't expecting to go to the Cartier website and find a selection of penis sheaths from which to choose. I would imagine if it existed, it was bespoke. The only penis sheaths of which I'm aware are the ones work in places like Papua.

He had many affairs with women too. His daughter said that her parents "always went mad for attractive people".

I guess that's a nice way of saying your dad went mad for 15-year-old boys

It's doubtful he had sex with the Duke of Windsor. If he had, George V would most likely have heard about it and would have made sure the two no longer were allowed to associate with each other.

Mountbatten's sister-in-law was a Lesbian and was for a time the lover of Anderson Cooper's grandmother, Gloria Vanderbilt (senior).

R42, how do you know that George V would've found out about it? You're just making that up in your head. Young fellas mess around with each other all the time and manage to keep it hidden.

Gay? Then why did he want to marry Grand Duchess Maria, the most beautiful of the doomed Romanov sisters? After she and her whole family were assassinated he supposedly kept her picture at his bedside for the rest of his life.

"Gay? Then why did he want to marry Grand Duchess Maria, the most beautiful of the doomed Romanov sisters?"

Gee, ya think money and status might have something to do with it?

"Gee, ya think money and status might have something to do with it?"

He had plenty of that himself. He didn't need her for that.

No wonder he joined the Navy..,

R46, I thought the Greek royals were busted broke.

Or was that later?

[quote] how do you know that George V would've found out about it? You're just making that up in your head. Young fellas mess around with each other all the time and manage to keep it hidden.

Except for his daughter, Mary, George V had his children spied on at all times. He kept dossiers on them which were later destroyed by George VI.

R46 The Battenbergs/Mountbattens were not rich. Dickie's father had a small income from some property he owned in Darmstadt and his Navy pay was not great. Dickie's mother received money from an investment fund set up for her by Queen Victoria. It provided for a high standard of living, but not a royal standard of living. Dickie's two aunt's in Russia supplemented the family's income, but after the Revolution that source stopped. By the end of WWI, the family was living off of Dickie's mother's allowance. Dickie's brother George had married the morganatic daughter of a Russian Grand Duke. Her wealth was also curtailed by the Russian Revolution, but she helped the Mountbattens out when she could.

The Mountbattens didn't really hit the jackpot until Dickie married a.

R50, you know your shit.

I don't think Dicke was after Maria Romanov's purse. She was a little plump but gorgeous. And hot to trot, it's been said.

His daughter Pamela sold her tiara not long ago- needed the money.

Is there an FBI dossier on my old friends the Duke and Duchess of Windsor?

He honest to God looks like a lot of fun

And THIS one on the left, in this photo looks like he has potential

^^ That's the best pic of Charles I've ever seen.

The essential thing about Mountbatten was his glamour and sex appeal. He was sexy into his sixties.

(Though his reputation was ill-served by this recent soapy movie where he was impersonated by some bloated Robert-Morley look-alike)

That’s Uncle Dickie to you, thanks.

A jewelled penis sheath seems like the most necessary thing in the world.

It was queens who kept the Empire afloat all those years

R60 That mindless assertion sounds as ill-thought as David Lean's 1985 remark that 'It's a well-known saying that the women who lost us the empire. It's true'.

What on Earth could anyone mean by "... the women lost us the Empire"?

Perhaps David Lean was doing publicity for Passage To India which is about Adela Quested going on a quest to find out about India and makes a complete hash of everything and making a charge of rape against Mr Aziz.

Perhaps David Lean was voicing the opinions of a true patriot who has witnessed his beloved empire devolving from its zenith in the 1880s to its nadir in the 1950s.

I daresay David Lean met Mountbatten and flibbertigibbet a as he spent 5 years trying to make a film about Gandhi and the bloody 1948 Partition of India.

David Lean was a master at his craft but he married 5 times; he complained frequently about his ice queen of a second wife, and Alec Guinness' memoirs suggest David Lean was a sex-fiend.

I suspect this mid-1980s quote was when he was VERY bitter about his projects getting cancelled, Robert Bolt becoming mortally ill and he (perhaps) lapsing into dementia.

The hottest royal currently is Princess Margaret's grandson, Arthur Chatto.

gaaaaaayyyyy

More about Lord Mountbatten abusing kids

R64 Arthur Chatto is not royal. His mother, Lady Sarah Chatto isn't even royal. Princess Margaret stated years ago, "My children are NOT royal."

Dear OP, endless, factless speculation over dead people is all too silly, in my opinion.
