"A great-grandson of Queen Victoria and the uncle of Prince Philip, Lord Mountbatten was one of the more colorful characters in the royal cast of the 20th century. Mountbatten's career may have been full of failure, compromise, and intrigue, but one aspect of the late Earl's life is impossible to overlook: the guy had a very, very good time. So good a time that the FBI ended up investigating him in the 1950s. What they found was eye-opening, to say the least."
"Unlike most of the royal family, Lord Mountbatten distinguished himself by being a stone cold, verified hottie with a body. According to Mountbatten-per his biographer-most of his married life to Edwina Mountbatten was spent "getting into other people's beds." For Lord Mountbatten, who served as Prince Charles's royal mentor and met his death at the hands of IRA activists in 1979, those beds were often populated by young men, according to several well-documented sources."
Lord Mountbatten combined a high-profile naval and royal career with an openly promiscuous personal life that included affairs with young men and bisexual activity with his wife, Edwina. The FBI investigated Mountbatten in the 1950s and discovered aspects of his sexual life that attracted significant attention. Biographical accounts note formative relationships beginning in his youth and a penchant for uniforms and schoolboy attire. Close acquaintances, including openly gay MP Tom Briberg, described specific sexual tastes. Mountbatten also acted as Prince Charles's royal mentor and was assassinated by IRA activists in 1979.
