Nine of William's illegitimate children survived him but not his two legitimate children, who died in infancy, so he was succeeded by his niece, who became Queen Victoria. By those standards, recent Royal scandals seem a bit tame. Btw David Cameron is a direct descendant of William IV and his mistress Dorothea Jordan, which may or may not be an auspicious foundation for promoting family values. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cameron Update on previous Royal scandals:
