Evening Standard December 1936. The King of England, Edward VIII, has given up
his Crown, foregoing his duty for the love of Wallis Simpson, an American
divorcée. Their courtship has been dogged by controversy and scandal, but with
Edward's abdication, they can live happily ever after. But do they? In Traitor
King, bestselling historian Andrew Lownie draws on hitherto unexplored
archives to uncover the dramatic world of the Windsors post-abdication. Lownie
reveals a couple obsessed with their status, financially exploiting their

is a story of an exiled Royal and the Nazi attempts to recruit him to their
cause. And of why the Royal family never forgave the Duke for choosing love
over duty. Read more
