I read that last line as "I wish my mom was still hot" and was expecting a much spicier explanation. Much confusion ensued as the explanation unfolded.

It might be time for sleep.

For incest spiciness, you'll want the mad Emperor Caligula, who supposedly carried on an affair with his own sister. Though this was only a rumor, and never confirmed, even by the notoriously gossip-happy historians of the time.

Still probably below the average for most British royalty at the time.
