A Runaway Princess Bride and Feudal Feud: Three Insane Recent Royal Weddings

The tantalizing royal-wedding tales you need to read to believe.

Each week in May, Vanity Fair will flash back to a different British royal wedding in the lead-up to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’sMay 19 nuptials.

Sixty-five years ago, the idea of a British royal family member marrying a divorcée was so ludicrous—given the family’s association with the Church of England—that Queen Elizabeth II offered her heartsick younger sister a prickly ultimatum: Princess Margaret could marry Peter Townsend, but only if she forfeited her right to the throne for both herself and her children. Princess Margaret opted to keep her crown over the dashing group captain, avoiding a national scandal on par with her uncle’s decision to abdicate the throne for an American wife 17 years earlier. The fact that Queen Elizabeth has signed off on Prince Harry, her one-time-wild grandchild, marrying Meghan Markle—herself an American divorcée and television actress—is a testament to the monarch’s evolving moral attitude. And, at the moment, the British royal family—once teeming with affairs and controversy—is suddenly the picture of normalcy. Luckily for thrill-seeking royal-watchers, a few other palaces have picked up the slack in scandalous nuptials. Ahead, the most tantalizing of those tales.

RUNAWAY PRINCESS BRIDE

Just three months after Prince William married Kate Middleton in a real-life fairy tale—complete with carriage and movie-star-beautiful bride and groom—there was another European wedding that seemed, on paper at least, to be a P.R. slam dunk. Prince Albert, Grace Kelly’s grandson, was set to marry Charlene Wittstock—a gorgeous South African swimmer who competed in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and looks to be a cross between Charlize Theron and Naomi Watts.But according to media reports, what should have been a dream wedding in 2011 turned out, for Wittstock, to be a nightmare.

Days before the wedding, it was reported that the future bride had attempted to flee Monaco after discovering that Albert, already the father of two illegitimate children, had fathered a third love child during their five-year courtship. According to French weekly L’Express, Wittstock did not just make one attempt at escaping the principality, but three. Alleged attempt one: Wittstock, who is 20 years younger than her groom, is said to have sought “refuge in the South African Embassy in May, while in France for a bridal-gown fitting.” Alleged attempt two is said to have taken place that same month during Monaco’s Grand Prix. Alleged attempt three was reportedly the closest she came to escaping—when she booked a one-way ticket to South Africa and nearly made it to the nearby airport in Nice, France, before being intercepted and stripped of her passport so that, according to a senior detective in Monaco, “the prince’s entourage could persuade her to stay.”

Though Charlene went through with the $55 million, three-day royal wedding, reporters and wedding guests noted the bride’s apparent wedding-day sadness. Charlene “was in tears throughout the wedding ceremony” according to ABC, who added that the bride reportedly recoiled when the groom attempted to kiss her. The Guardian noted that Charlene “emerged from the royal chapel where she laid her bouquet with top lip wobbling and a tear rolling down her cheek. While she dabbed the tears with a hankie, Prince Albert begged in a whisper, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry.’” Even the impartial Associated Press reported that the bride and groom’s eyes were “mostly downcast” and that “tears flowed freely” down the princess’s face. LaineyGossip even nicknamed Charlene “Prisoner Bride” and reported that bride and groom spent their honeymoon “not only in separate beds or separate rooms, but in separate hotels altogether.”

The sadness does not end there, though. Wittstock is said to have demanded DNA tests from her groom—though, according to ABC, it is suggested that results would likely be withheld during the honeymoon in South Africa “for fears that Wittstock would flee while away from the constraints of her marriage in Monaco.”

A British historian told ABC, however, that fleeing Albert would be much harder during the honeymoon since he was officially her husband: “When they got her into that Catholic Church and got her married, they really trapped her so far as the Catholic Church is concerned. It would be very difficult now for her to get a divorce.”

The Palace long denied the rumors, telling one outlet, “None of this is true, and we think it comes from utter jealousy.” Albert, for his part, directly denied the rumors and threatened legal action—though he did seem to confirm that the couple spent their honeymoon in separate hotels . . . “for practical reasons.” The couple remains married and has two children.

DRAMA KING

Think a runaway royal bride is dramatic? Then meet Prince Ernst August of Hanover, the 64-year-old German royal and distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, who, days before his son’s 2017 wedding, renounced the nuptials over property—including several castles and forests (!)—he claimed his son owed him. A little colorful backstory about Prince Ernst August Sr. first—the head of the deposed royal House of Hanover was convicted in 2008 of assaulting a fellow German at a Kenyan nightclub who refused to turn down the music and shut off some “annoying lasers.” (In his defense, nightclub music is usually way too loud.) Ernst claimed that he had merely “slapped [the fellow German] across the face two times—left and right—saying: ‘One for the music, one for the light.’” But the victim claimed the prince had pounded him with a knuckleduster. More backstory though: Prince Ernst August has also been accused of flashing a Nazi salute, attacking a photographer, and “urinating outside the Turkish pavilion at the World’s Fair in Hanover.” (So maybe it wasn’t so bad that Ernst—the Jersey Shore cast member of the royal family and estranged husband of another royal, Princess Caroline of Monaco—couldn’t attend Ernst Jr.’s wedding?)

But back to the wedding. Ernst Sr. did not drop the bombshell until days before his son—also named Ernst August of Hanover—was due to marry Russian-born catsuit designer (seriously!) Ekaterina Malysheva. (In case you were wondering, Malysheva was inspired to launch her catsuit line after, according to her company’s official Web site, “a life-changing trip to Burning Man Festival.”) Ernst Sr. didn’t care that his son—a descendant of Queen Victoria and a distant heir to the British throne—was marrying a catsuit designer who had been to Burning Man. Ernst Sr. cared that his son wouldn’t return the Hanover properties he had deeded him in the mid-00s for murkily motivated tax purposes. The properties include the Marienburg Castle and forestland in Lower Saxony. (If we had $1 for every time we argued with a relative over who had the rights to the family forestland.)

In an interview with the German newspaper Handelsblatt, Ernst Sr. took his stand publicly, saying (via translation), “I am constrained to preserve the interests of the House of Hanover and the property, including cultural property, which has been its property for centuries . . . I continue to hope that my son will eventually think of the best interests of our family and yield. I am ready for discussion and reconciliation.”

Ernst Sr. did not attend the wedding—which looks to have been lovely. Malysheva wore an elegant Sandra Mansour gown constructed of Chantilly lace (no catsuit) and a tiara that belonged to Emperor Wilhelm II’s only daughter. The reception took place at Marienburg Castle, where the couple danced to Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long.”

REALITY-STAR ROYAL

Meghan Markle won’t be the first television star to marry into a royal family. In 2015, Sweden’s Prince Carl Philip raised a few eyebrows when he married Sofia Hellqvist, a tattooed former waitress who had appeared on the country’s reality show Paradise Hotel—about singles stuffed into a luxury-hotel resort and plied with alcohol in hopes of sparks flying. Her participation, for royal snobs, wasn’t the most incriminating detail of her résumé, though. On the reality show, she made out with porn star Jenna Jameson. In non-television pursuits, she also modeled topless with a boa constrictor for Swedish men’s magazine Slitz.

Carl Philip, the only son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, reportedly ended his 10-year relationship with an advertising executive when he met Sofia in 2009 at a club in Stockholm—a story line that understandably enraptured Swedish tabloid readers. When press suggested that Carl Philip’s family was unreceptive of his reality-star girlfriend, the prince took part in a television interview to claim otherwise. “My parents and my sisters were curious about her, open, and welcomed her with a big hug,” Carl Philip said, suggesting that any media criticism of Sofia’s past was mean-spirited: “She was hung out to dry in a bullying type of way.”

According to reports, palace insiders helped move Sofia away from spray tans and into charity, preparing her for interviews about her past. “It happened 10 years ago,” Sofia later said in a television interview, brushing off her scandalous past. “I have moved on in life. I do not regret anything, it has built me as a person.”

The couple’s 2015 wedding, in the Royal Chapel of Stockholm Palace, had a few—uh—untraditional touches on par with Carl’s bride.

“They came down the aisle to an instrumental version of Enya’s ‘Athair ar Neamh’; then, during the ceremony, Swedish singer Al Fakir sang Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’ and David Pagmar performed a Swedish version of Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella,’ called ‘Paraply,’” reported the BBC. “To top things off, the couple exited the church to the hymn ‘Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee,’ which suddenly dropped into Janet Jackson’s ‘What Have You Done for Me Lately,’ just as it does when Lauryn Hillsings it in the finale of Sister Act 2. The Duke and Duchess left out the rap, though.”

Just in case you did not believe that a rendition of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” was actually performed at a traditional royal wedding in Sweden, I give you . . .

This is not the most scandalous chapter in the family’s history, though. In 2010, Carl Philip’s father King Carl Gustaf was at the center of a scandal when the book Carl XVI Gustaf: The Reluctant Monarch alleged that the royal, in his youth, had a “predilection for wild, alcohol-fueled orgies and naked jacuzzi parties with models.”

The book also alleged that the king frequented mob-run clubs and had a year-long affair with a Swedish-Nigerian pop singer and model in the 90s.

Rather than deny the rumor, King Carl Gustaf held a press conference “in a forest after an elk hunt”—naturally—where he told reporters, “I have spoken with my family and the Queen and we choose to turn the page and move forward because, as I understand, these are things that happened a long time ago.”

This Horrific Georgia Brutality Footage Shows How Bad Cops Cover for Each Other

Two Georgia cops were fired on Thursday after the video emerged of them very surely performing to brutally attack a black motorist. The films themselves are shocking on my own for the amount of natural unprovoked violence the 2 officers displayed, however, there’s extra to the table.

First, you need to remember the fact that violence, although:

Right here is the video of Gwinnett County Police Sgt. Michael Bongiovanni punching Demetrius Hollins within the head and not using an apparent justification during a traffic stop on Wednesday.

As you could see, Hollins—who had been stopped previously by way of Bongiovanni at some point of an incident in August of last yr—had his fingers up whilst the Sgt. Attacked him.

And Here are photos (at the 50-second-mark) of Officer Robert McDonald kicking Hollins inside the head when he becomes on the floor.

Perhaps the most troubling a part of this entire incident is that without the video photos, those Two officials would still be on the beat rather than facing a crook research. Certainly, Bongiovanni’s false police report—alongside, potentially, with his own prolonged record of unpunished misconduct fees—factors to how the “blue wall of silence” keeps criminally bad police officers at the activity often at the cost of the civil rights of minorities. Let’s begin with the false report. Here is Bongiovanni’s telling of what came about:

I quick reached into the vehicle and grabbed Hollins through his shoulder. I pulled him out and before everything he put his fingers up. I grew to become him far away from me and attempted to pin him among the door and the automobile.

Resident Evil: The Horrific Crime Of The Family Annihilators

A millionaire father murders his wife and daughter earlier than committing suicide. In this event, the man shot his family and their pets, together with puppies and horses, earlier than placing heart to his £1.2 million mansion.

While such incidents occur it is often compelling for not simplest being an not possible and awful act, however also for its juxtaposition, going for walks opposite to the herbal human instinct we need to shield cherished ones wherever possible.most horrific child murders

There may be no doubt that the perpetrators of the circle of relatives annihilation,

Or familicide as it is also recognized, are overwhelmingly the preserve of men in most of the people of instances:

A person who become experiencing marital discord, changed into knowledgeable by using his wife that she changed into leaving him. Frightened of losing his marriage and family drove his 3 kids to a disused quarry and set approximately stabbing the children to demise, earlier than eventually throwing himself off a cliff close by.horrendous metal

Any other father who changed into deeply tormented by the lack of a child While his wife had a miscarriage a few years earlier than, slipped into despair and resulted in him killing his wife and a couple of young youngsters, before placing hearth to their bedroom and embracing them before he too died.

A police inspector changed into fired from the police pressure for misusing their computer systems. Consequently

He went home and murdered his wife and daughter and then dedicated suicide. His 2 older youngsters were capable of fleeing from the residence unharmed. It later emerged that he had suspected his wife of having an affair and were trying to find proof whilst at his administrative center.

Richard Gelles, Director of the Centre for Research on Youth & Social Policy and writer of the book, ‘The Violent home’, explains that there seem to be 2 varieties of familicide. One being coercive, ‘I personal my wife and kids, and therefore I have a right to take them with me if I no longer want to stay’, and there may be the familicide that occurs in the course of monetary instability, especially the shame they experience Whilst they may be no longer capable of help their spouse and children and love them a lot that they don’t want to shame them with their perceived shortcomings, and so determine to take them with them.

Moreover, Gelles draws parallels with cult leaders like Jim Jones of the Jonestown Bloodbath of 1978

Who commanded the fans of his People’s Temple cult, lots of them kids, to commit mass suicide, earlier than taking his very own existence, in that the daddy or husband views himself as the top of the family and it is he who will ultimately determine their destiny.

Curiously, the cult leaders we realize of have all been male, and the men in those instances might also too perhaps in shape this self-appointed controlling chief profile to a few degree. men, who if best had sought the help they wanted, may also have averted the everlasting destruction of these lives and of all the ones left in the back of.

The Brutality of Constantine Who Established Christianity

Historians gloss over his violence and the murderous records that caused the established order of the Roman Catholic Church in 325AD. At the dying of his father, Constantine seized the purple (the gown of a Caesar) and rode together with his army to annihilate the entire armies, households, and supporters of at the least 2 other Caesars who fell underneath his sword and which covered participants of his own family. The year before the corporation became delivered into existence he had his eldest son, Crispus, murdered On the rumor that he had debauched his mom-in-law.

Constantine had a plan from the beginning, in step with some present day authors, that protected sole rule of the big Roman Empire. On the time of his rise there have been 5 rulers and in only a few short years he had carried out his intention.brutality in a sentence

That had presented a sequence of rebellions and sabotage to his predecessors. With a selection of languages, religious ideals, and cultural differences that existed from Britain to Persia and across North Africa he noticed simply one way of accomplishing it. Like the Macedonia king Alexander earlier than him he saw religion as the answer.brutality game

Through making everyone worship the same gods and thru the parliament of Bishops the installation within the Vatican, which he built, he organized monks to do the paintings for him.

He invented Jesus Christ as its Saviour and positioned the mother God of Babylon, Mary
