Was the Prince of Wales bisexual?


Louis is whisked away because the Prince is getting too interested in him at the jazz party. In another episode, at the military ball, it's stated that the Prince will have the woman he's dancing with, even though she's the wife of an officer.

The Prince is described as bisexual in DANCING ON THE EDGE. Was he in real life?

That wasn't the Prince of Wales it was his younger brother Prince George, who will gain the title Duke of Kent upon his marriage to a Greek princess in the mid-30s. It's now known that Prince George was bisexual and that he had affairs with both men and women. Back in the 1930s only the upper levels of society would've known or suspected about his sexual preference, but would've looked the other way and never spoken of it.

Yeah, and so is the current one, supposedly,

There have been allegations that both the Prince of Wales and Wallis Simpson were bisexual.

It's not real clear that there are two princes seen in the series, and this is made worse by the incorrect "goof" that George is referred to as the Prince of Wales.

This is not a goof. Both the Prince of Wales and Price George are in this series. Prince George 'discovers' Louis and the Band at the little club. Then he arranges ro have his brother,the Price of Wales hear them too. This time at the Imperial. It is Prince George who is caught in the rain storm and propositions Louis. It is the Prince of Wales who hosts the dinner party at the Naval facility where Carla sings in the balcony above.

You can see both princes walking down the back hall side by side at the Imperial after their first show. And the dialog is very clear and correct as the actors greet both of them. Nowhere is George incorrectly referred to as the Prince of Wales.
