Dust Jacket Reads:Based on fascinating secret papers from the Duke of Windsor's archives, confided many years ago to his lawyers with a view to their eventual publication, this brilliant and authoritative work at last tells the tragic story of the exile of the man who had been King Edward VIII, of his bitter relationship with his family and his passionate but unsuccesful efforts to return to England with the woman he loved. It traced the drama of the Windsors from the moment of the Abdication, showing how mean and underhand methods wee used by the Governmt and Court to keep them abroad and in disgrace. For the first time, it reveals the complex Palace intrigues to keep the Duke short of money and deny the Duchess her royal rank. Concluding with an amazing post-war exchange of intimate letters between the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in which they write openly of their feelings of resentment and dismay, it relates an unknown tale which is both compelling and thought-provoking, shedding new light on the paradoxical role of royalty in the modern world.
