This is about Wallis Simpson who became the Duchess of Windsor, not the Queen of England. She was the already twice married American woman that King Edward VIII gave up the throne of England so he could marry her. Other than hearing about this in school when growing up, I knew nothing about this. Was an interesting read with good info about both Wallis & Edward and their lives. I didn't know about the bitterness within his family to him marrying Wallis, figuring he gave up the crown & stepped back but the family never accepted her and the lived a basically estranged life from the royals.
There are still 11 WL for this book so will be mailing off in PBS at some point too.
