I have been fascinated with the abdication of King Edward VIII and his romance with Wallis Simpson for a while now, and recently stumbled across his memoir. This was a slow read for me, because he goes into such great detail and introduces everyone! 😂

Wallis doesn‘t really make an appearance until about 3/4 of the way through, as a heads up.

My best friend and I are making our way through a Crown-inspired reading list this year, kicking off with 17 Carnations. I am equal parts fascinated and horrified by David and Wallis, and so far
Morton's book is keeping both of those feelings alive and well! #NumberInTitle #JumpIntoJanuary #CurrentlyReading #RoyalRead
@Eggs

Eggs Ooo I‘m anxious to read all your crown-inspired reviews!!! There are photos of these 2 consorting with Hitler-this should be great reading! 3y
Cinfhen This sounds fascinating 3y

While I always enjoy reading about Wallis Simpson (and anyone who makes life difficult for the royal family), reading about her husband, the former King Edward VIII, just wasn't as interesting. He was pretty much just a whiny man-child who briefly relied on Hitler to help him find a way to reclaim the throne he gave up for the woman he loved.

Texreader Wow, telling it like it is! Excellent review! 4y

Hoping the American marrying into the Royal Family works out better than this one. Though to be fair -they certainly seemed to love each other.

CarolynM Not according to some contemporary reports, but they may have been biased - see 6y
TrishB @CarolynM interesting 👍🏻 6y
TheNextBook Her name is Meghan and I‘m super excited for her and Harry! Especially because Harry has always been the wild child and it‘s nice to see him so settled and happy. Meghan is from Los Angeles, like me, and I think they‘ll be fine. Kate didnt have any royal blood and she has done great. Can‘t wait to see what she is wearing! 6y

eanderson I definitely agree with you! 6y
Bookwomble Of the British public, 79% find it acceptable for a non-Briton to marry into the royal family; only 69% find it acceptable for a non-white person to marry in, and; only 44% would find a same-sex royal marriage acceptable. Seems we still have some work to do on letting other people live happy lives. https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/11/29/5-charts-british-reaction-prince-harrys-eng... 6y
TrishB @TheNextBook I think she seems lovely 💕 6y
TheNextBook @Bookwomble exactly!!!!! But they look beautiful and happy!!!! Wishing them the absolute best! 6y
TrishB @Bookwomble agreed. Would be interesting to see the age split there. That probably is re-enacted across society unfortunately. 6y
TheNextBook @trishb I adore her and Kate!!!! I just don‘t see how Diana would have wanted anything more she did such a good job raising those two boys to be amazing men. 6y
Bookwomble As individuals, I wish them the same happiness I wish for every other couple starting out their lives together. 6y
Bookwomble @TrishB You can see the age split in the full report. Not surprisingly, the older the age bracket, the less tolerant of difference. 6y
TrishB @Bookwomble 😔 some hope for the future!! 6y
Cinfhen Meghan & Harry are adorable 💕 I hope they have a beautiful life together. Unlike Wallis & The Duke...horrible 😖 6y
TrishB @Cinfhen they were not a nice couple 😔 (Wallis and the Duke!) 6y

A tragic figure, however he chose his path and never looked back. What if... Not a hatchet job, yet doesn't go to in depth on certain issues. Comprehensive yet and seemingly unbiased! I'd recommend as it's well written and exhaustive. #17booksin2017 #HRM #dukeofwindsor #EdwardVIII
