Gathered from a collection of more than 5, photographs built up from many sources -- including the Duke of Windsor's own private family albums -- the pictures in this book, many of them reproduced here for the first time, cover every aspect of the Duke's life: Edward was no conventional king. The rigid parental discipline of his formative years mad him in turns both shy and rebellious. His charm, good looks and obvious concern for the poor made him a popular Prince of Wales; but his growing independence of spirit--and a certain naivete, which was to mislead even Hitler--prepared him for the central role he was soon to play in the year of abdication.

For love of an American divorcee, and for the fulfillment she brought him, Edward was prepared to sacrifice all. Christopher Hibbert, author of such outstanding royal histories as The Court at Windsor and Charles I, and currently writing a two-volume history of George IV, has contributed a short biography that vividly recaptures the excitement of the period and perfectly complements the most complete visual record of the Windsor story ever to be published.

UK first published January 1st My impression is that for a long time she remained unaffected by my interest. And for several reasons, among which the element of divorce was not the least, I was convinced that it was unlikely that he would give his consent. As things turned out, King George was for various reasons not told of the situation before his death, the divorce went forward on the basis of an undefended petition by Mrs.

Baldwin, I have no right to interfere with the affairs of an individual. It would be wrong were I to attempt to influence Mrs. Simpson just because she happens to be a friend of the King's. Let the rest rest—the last hectic days at Fort Belvedere, the urgent summons to Lord Beaverbrook who was in mid-Atlantic, outward-bound; on a German liner , Lord Rothermere's plan for a morganatic marriage, Mr.

I cannot but be interested to note, as Mr. On such a stage, with such con- comitants, did a- King-Emperor play his last part. He had wanted to broadcast to the country to put his own case—in effect his case against his own Ministers—but the Cabinet vetoed what would have been a flatly revolutionary procedure. Among, the various projects and vacillations of this last act one decision by the King stands conspicuously to his credit. Urged to let every- thing slide till after his Coronation, King Edward declared that he could not go through what was essentially a religious cere- mony "with a lie on my lips "—knowing that he was about, by marrying a person whose marriage had been twice dissolved, to take a step which ran counter to all the Church's creed and doctrine.
So the King quitted his throne and his country. But it was not that decision that needed to be justified. Ji was the decision, taken years earlier, to marry Mr. On that there is no necessity to pass judgement here. But on the Duke's resolve to drag every detail of this old unhappy affair to light again when it had been well forgotten some judge- ment is called for.
