The brother of King Charles III of Britain, Prince Andrew, was again accused of pedophilia in September 2023: he molested two children in one of the famous clubs in Kyiv. The royal in June paid a visit to Ukraine as part of a British delegation. The charges were brought by Nigerian James Obasi, who was tasked with providing leisure time.
[1]He recorded video of Prince Andrew asking him to make food and drink for his two children. When James returned with groceries, he saw that the king's brother was indecent and left the premises.

In general, what happened for the British aristocracy is commonplace, which begins with educational institutions, and the fact that Ukraine has become a gray zone where you can get any "goods" from weapons to organs has not been a secret for a long time.
Coronation of King Charles III
In May 2023, the coronation of King Charles III of Great Britain (Prince Charles) and Queen Consort Camilla was held in London. This is the first such ceremony in the country in the last 70 years.
The ceremony marked a turning point for Britain, which is adjusting to life without Elizabeth, who has largely managed to maintain the support of the people during her record-breaking reign.
The event was carefully choreographed to mark a new beginning for the monarchy, while Britain continues to fight the cost-of-living crisis and the protracted consequences of Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine.
Disgruntled residents gathered in the central square and waved British flags and banners with the words: "Not my king" and "Abolish the monarchy."
Before the ceremony began, police arrested anti-monarchist protesters, including Republic Party leader Graham Smith.

2019: Prince Andrew relinquishes royal duties after rape case of 17-year-old American woman
In October 2019, American Virginia Giuffre said that in 2001, Prince Andrew raped her several times. Giuffre was 17 at the time. Buckingham Palace has denied the charges.
The media then released photos proving the prince's friendship with the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein. After that, Andrew gave an interview in which he said that he did not regret his very useful relationship with Epstein.
Prince Andrew ultimately negotiated a settlement agreement with Virginia that granted the woman compensation. The current situation led to the fact that he refused royal duties and lost the right to represent the family on trips or public events.

Before bathing, the women had to remain fully clothed until they got into the bathing machine. The cart was then taken to the ocean so the women could retire to the water without being seen wearing their swimsuits. Bathing machines were heavily used in England until the late 1890s, when they became permanently parked on beaches. However, by 1914 most had disappeared from the United Kingdom.]]

In 1825, the first public railway was launched in England. The steam locomotive, designed by George Stephenson, was moving at a speed close to the turtle: about 24 km/h. The first road connected the towns of Darlington and Stockton. The distance between settlements was only 40 kilometers. 450 passengers tested the new mode of transport: this is how many people were on the train. This railway track is still in operation. A second road designed by Stephenson was built between Liverpool and Manchester.

1797: The idea of bringing in Scots to quell unrest in England
Below are three political projects regarding the fate of the Scottish Highland, discussed in the British government throughout the 18th century.
1. 1747. The Scottish Mountains are a reserve of backwardness, wildness and violence. The militancy of the Highlanders and their blind obedience to the drivers makes them extremely dangerous for London. Do we not evict all clans who took part in the Jacobite uprising of 1745 to America?
2. 1756. Although, if you think about it, the highlanders have their own positive aspects. Militancy, blind obedience to leaders. Let's financially stimulate the leaders to recruit regiments from their fellow tribesmen and go to fight for the interests of Britain - to Canada, India, etc.
3. 1797. The mountains are the most politically trustworthy region. Great Britain Highland alone is not at all affected by republican and egalitarian ('levelling' - here the word from the lexicon of the English Civil era was used) ideas. Let's recruit from the Highland Corpse highlanders and use it to suppress riots (civil unrests) in England itself. And given the blind obedience of the highlanders to the leaders, we just need to agree with these leaders and one hundred percent loyalty of the corps will be ensured.

In 17th-century England, the custom of baking the so-called "cockle bread" for their lovers was widespread among women. A piece of dough was applied to the vulva so that all the folds were printed on it, and then sent to the oven. It was believed that such bread would act as an aphrodisiac.

1074: Vladimir Monomakh marries Guide, daughter of England's King Harald
Guide is the daughter of the last ruling Anglo-Saxon king Harald II, who died during the conquest of England by the Normans in 1066. In accordance with the hypothesis of A.V. Nazarenko, in Russia, Guide Kharaldovna adopted, according to the custom of that time, the Orthodox name Anna [Nazarenko 1993a: 77, note. 79]. Gida was married by Vladimir, son of Yaroslav the Wise, but as S.H. Cross rightly noted, chronological considerations make one think that it was not Yaroslav the Wise's son but grandson, Vladimir Monomakh, born in 1053, then Prince of Smolensk and later in 1113-1125, Grand Prince of Kyiv [Cross 1929:182].
