The public loves a good story about the salacious private lives of the rich and famous. And royals often really did get up to some jaw-dropping behaviors. But sometimes a grain of rumor can be so enthralling that it snowballs into an unshakable myth. If you ask the average person what they know about Catherine the Great they are likely to say “Isn’t she the one who was crushed under a horse?” Many are still convinced that Queen Elizabeth I was really a man. And Marie Antionette will forever be linked with the misquote “Let them eat cake!” Today let’s explore 10 commonly believed myths about historic royals, examine how the rumors got started and separate what is gospel from what is just gossip.

  1. Anne Boleyn was a Witch with 6 Fingers
  2. Mary I was Bloody Mary
  3. Elizabeth I was actually a Man
  4. Queen Juana was Loca
  5. Marie Antoinette said “Let Them Eat Cake”
  6. Catherine the Great Loved Horse, Literally
  7. Napoleon told Josephine “I will return in three days. Don’t wash!”
  8. Prince Albert had a Prince Albert Piercing
  9. Prince Albert Victor was really Jack the Ripper
  10. Elizabeth II had 4 cocktails a day
