The best royal biography of 2021 according to the Daily Mail. THE SUNDAY TIMES bestseller. An uncut biography of the most controversial and scandalous couple of the twentieth century - former King Edward VIII and divorced American Wallis Simpson. 1936. Dec. England. The newly minted King Edward VIII abdicates for the sake of his beloved woman. Their relationship was accompanied by numerous scandals that were supposed to end after the wedding. But, as history has shown, everything was just beginning. Historian Andrew Lowney plunges into archives and interviews hitherto unknown to the general public, tearing off masks from the ducal couple: sympathy for fascism and friendship with Hitler; secret documents about an attempt to recruit the duke as a German spy, carefully concealed by Churchill; Edward's unwillingness to solve the murder of his best friend while Windsor served as governor of the Bahamas; a full-blown feud with the British crown over the couple's financial shenanigans and public antics; Wallis's numerous love affairs in marriage with a weak and miserable husband. The Traitor King reveals the whole truth about the exile, flight and intrigue of the Duke of Windsor, who turned away from family and country for money and a sick passion for one woman.
