here is some royal connections

Caroline Blackwood September 24, 1992 Issue

I first became aware of Francis Bacon shortly after World War II. I was then eighteen, and I was invited to a formal London ball given by Lady Rothermere, who was later to become Mrs. Ian Fleming. Princess Margaret was among the guests and could immediately be seen on the parquet floor wearing a crino-line and being worshiped by her adoring set who were known at the time as “the Smarties.” She was revered and considered glamorous because she was the one “Royal” who was accessible. Princess Margaret smoked, and she drank, and she flirted. She went to nightclubs and she loved show business and popular music."

^^ probably most useful link for what you're looking at, lots of bio info there to compare to old bacon.

One other thing, also an echo of names in that vein is Nitsch - he is German and his name sounds the same as Nietzsche - read him discuss F. Nietzsche in one of the articles/videos but can't find quote this second.

racoonbite ago

he mentions apes alot, searching "majestic ape Francis bacon" gives a surprising amount of hits

The connections between the old bacon and shakespear has been documented, here is an excript from;

"for a long time, Francis Bacon and Samuel Beckett made up a couple in my imaginary gallery of modern art. Then I read the interview Bacon did with Michel Archimbaud: “I’ve always been amazed by this pairing of Beckett and me,” Bacon said. “I’ve always felt that Shakespeare expressed much better and more precisely and more powerfully what Beckett and Joyce were trying to say.” "
