The Royal Baccarat Scandal 1890

A house party in Yorkshire over a long weekend culminates in an infamous cheating scandal involving Royalty and a notorious court case that rocked the nation, and a honourable career in ruins.

Vintage Scandals focuses mainly on early 20th century scandals that were of national, and sometimes international interest. We will look at the causes & reasons, repercussions and eventual outcomes, some of which still had an impact for decades afterwards.
