Description
This life story follows Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson. It covers his choice to give up the throne and their life in exile. In December 1936, Edward left the British throne to marry Wallis. She was an American who had divorced. Scandals still dogged them once they wed. The book traces their flight, plots, and feud with the crown. It is for readers of royal lives and history.
Эндрю Лоуни, a historian, uses records and interviews few people know. He looks at the pair's support for fascism and ties to Hitler. He also studies records of German plans to recruit Edward as a spy. The book says Churchill kept those records secret.
Some chapters cover Edward's time as governor of the Bahamas. They explore his lack of will to solve his best friend's murder. The book links the royal feud to schemes for money. It also links the feud to how the pair behaved in public. It covers Wallis's affairs while she and Edward were wed. Лоуни takes a harsh view of Edward's choices. He sees money and Edward's bond with Wallis as the forces behind them.
