Latest Book From William Cross
A
sensational new book ‘Not Behind Lace Curtains’ from author William
Cross, FSA Scot, ( the controversial biographer of Almina, Countess of Carnarvon,
and the instigator of lurid tales about other society women ) spills the beans on the toffs once again.
This
time Cross extols on a British Peer of the Realm’s hidden world of illegal
homosexual vice; he even sweeps one British Prime Minister with those involved.
The
Peer’s favorite sport was chasing ”rough trade” [ rent boys], as well as celebrating Black Mass in Welsh churchyards, and near the Sussex Downs with disciples of The Great Beast 666, the occultist Aleister Crowley. In the end his luck
ran out when his ‘right trusty cousin’ Queen Mary discovered compromising photographs of her family in the man’s
company.
