Or maybe it's true that his court is mostly composed of men because he prefers the company of men. It was said that the officer who helped him try to escape to England to his maternal Grandfather (King George I) was his friend and lover. They were caught by the soldier King, his father--who sent him to prison for (maybe) three months somewhere in Poland, and his friend and possibly his lover--Kathe, beheaded in front of him.
