7 British Monarchs Who May Have Been Gay
For centuries men lived in one sphere and women in another and they would reach together for marriage and having children. It seemed that the sexes co-existed mainly to endure the human race. Love and sex can be very different factors but, when put together, they can yield the most electric sensation. This was no different for kings and queens who were seal to their favourites. There are several British monarchs who may have been gay. In truth, six kings – and one queen are thought to have been male lover, members of what we now dial the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi- and transexual) community. They include:
William II of England
The son of William the Conqueror, who took the throne of England in 1066, was known as William Rufus because of his red hair (‘rufus’ meaning red). William II became King of England in 1087 and was often described as ‘effeminate’ and with a keen interest in fashionable young men.

Musical King George III Theory thats obviously not genuine but what the people want!
I know this is totally wrong but the real King George III is not gay. Hey, so.... I reflection over this and thought is King George gay? Adv in a lot of animations it seems that they try to reference it like right here in this vid: https://youtu.be/tf1-PsDCPbk
Even on this vid’s thumbnail it says “This is Animatic Beautiful GAY”, I also read the description and it said “Oh and yeah, this is the gayest thing I've made yet” that kind of points to the proof that King George is homosexual.

He probably wasn’t gay because the animatic was just for fun and the animator claimed that she just gave the servant (Ollie) a low crush on King George Because she once read that King George was nice to his servants and the animator also claimed that She doesn’t ship them historically and another thing that made me think that he’s probably not same-sex attracted is the reality that he married a woman and had 15 ch
King George III’s Children – Part 2
Before succumbing to his illness, George III had a sometime tempestuous relationship with members of his family.
Frederick, Duke of York
The king’s second son, Prince Frederick, Duke of York, found himself in a scandal, along with his mistress, Mary Ann Clarke. They were both accused of profiting from the sale of army promotions during the Napoleonic campaign. The Duke was found not guilty of corrupt practices, but he was relieved of his duties as Commander-in-Chief of the Army. As the king’s favorite, this was a great blow to the Royal family. Earlier in his career, Frederick had fought a duel in defense of his brother, the Crown Prince. One of the queen’s ladies had insulted both Frederick and Prince George. Frederick gave the female a good set down. Then the lady’s son challenged Frederick to a duel. His opponent came within an inch of placing his bullet in the prince’s head.

Known as ‘Rufus’ due to his ruddy complexion and red hair, the third son of William the Conqueror became King of England in 1087 and is assumed to hold been gay or bi-curious. Described by historians as both ‘effeminate’ and ‘boorish’, as well as creature a devil-may-care soldier, his temperament swung between extremes of calmness and belligerence.
The Anglo-Norman king, who never married or sired children, was capable of both wise governing and acting with contentiousness. Unlike other monarchs of the period, William lacked religious piety and is said to have indulged in sexual vices that shocked his council.
His death while hunting in the New Forest when he was shot by an arrow, has led to the suggestion he may have been murdered by
