Classic Beauties: Mistresses (4)

Let’s confine ourselves to just one horny royal today, this being France’s Louis XV, who was a very busy lad.

Madame de Pompadour

…who wasn’t just his mistress, but pretty much the equivalent of his chief of staff (yeah, that staff as well).

Marie-Anne de La Tournelle
…who joined each of her four sisters as mistress of Louis XV.  Ran through the family, he did.

Marie-Louise O’Murphy
One of the few of all the royal mistresses who gave us a peek at her whole body, thanks to having been a model for artist François Boucher.

Madame du Barry

Now this was an interesting one.  Not only did Madame du Barry go through the French court and nobility like a cleaver through a lamb — she must have had considerable bedroom skills — but she was also the longtime mistress of the grandson of Louis V, Louis XVI.

A multi-generational floozy!  Sadly, though, the French Revolution’s guillotine was the last thing she gave head to.
