Why would they do it? Does circumcision cure haemophilia?

"...routine in the Royal family from the days of Queen Victoria's husband Albert..." So I guess that means Prince Albert was cut. Interesting.

Undoubtedly you've heard of a piece of genital jewelry called the Prince Albert. It's called that because Prince Albert had one. As to why, well, rumor has it that the Prince was rather well endowed and when he walked, his royal member was quite visible bouncing around in his pants. This bothered Queen Victoria so he got what was then called a "dressing ring". He passed a ribbon thru the ring and tied it around one leg.

This seems like a pretty drastic solution to what many would think isn't even a problem. I mean, many men like having their dicks show. (The popularity of this site proves that.) And didn't he wear underpants? Was he always walking around commando? Think, too, about when he had to pee. Instead of just whipping it out and letting it flow, he had to drop trou and undo the ribbon. Then tie it up again when he was finished. Probably he had a manservant to do this for him. Even hold his dick while he peed and milk out those last few drops. Those Victorians were kinky.

And why was Queen Victoria upset about Prince Albert's dick showing? Was it prudishness or did she not like all those commoners eyeing his royal member? "That dick is MINE so keep your hungry eyes off of it!" One can only speculate.
