✦ Synopsis

"'Williams' portrayal of the King and Mrs Simpson is fair, accurate and refreshingly free from the distorting propaganda of the past two thirds of a century' Michael Bloch; 'The Duke of Windsor has been spectacularly traduced in recent years. This book is an exercise in rehabilitation.... it is overdue' Philip Ziegler"
