Description
"December 11, 1936. The King of England, Edward VIII, has given up his crown for the love of Wallis Simpson, and American divorcée. Their courtship has been dogged by controversy and scandal, but with Edward's abdication, they can live happily every after. But do they? This is a story of a couple financially exploiting their position, all the while manipulating the media to portray themselves as victims. Andrew Lownie shows in dramatic fashion how their glittering world was riddled with treachery and betrayal -- and why the royal family never forgave the Duke for choosing love over duty." -- Back cover
Description
The complex and contradictory lives of the Windsors following Edward's abdication of the British throne in 1936. Shut out by the royal family, the couple was forced into exile--but a glamorous one in which they flitted from sumptuously appointed mansions in the south of France to luxurious residences in Palm Beach. They were spoiled, selfish people, obsessed with their image, reveling in adulterous affairs, and financially exploiting their position in a glittering world riddled with treachery and betrayal
