The Untold Stories of the Crown: Secrets Hidden Behind Palace Walls!
The Warming Pan Baby
In the records of royal drama, the “Warming Pan Baby Swap” of 1688 stands out with the theatricality of a Shakespearean plot twist. As whispers wove through England, they told of King James II and Mary of Modena’s despair at their newborn’s stillbirth.
A living infant was allegedly spirited into the queen’s chamber hidden within a warming pan, all to secure a Catholic successor. This rumor fanned the flames of Protestant dissent, catalyzing the Glorious Revolution and James II’s fall from power. At its heart, this tale was brewed by those keen to discredit a Catholic monarch and smooth William of Orange’s path to the throne.
