The Windsors at War with Alexander Larman

Today's episode is a three-way interview as Alexander Larman joins to talk about the Duke & Duchess of Windsor and their treasonous activities both leading up to, and during the war. Tessa Dunlop joins me to chat with Alex about their Nazi connections, the rise of George VI from diffident spare to widely admired monarch, as well as plenty more.Alexander Larman LinksThe Windsors at War: The Nazi Threat to the CrownTessa Dunlop LinksElizabeth & Philip: A Story of Young Love, Marriage and Monarchy

I was just about to download ‘The Crown in Crisis’ audiobook but having listened to this interview I have changed my mind.

Oh that's sad to hear.

I don’t entirely agree with Alexander’s conclusions in this book. I believe, primarily based on how the former king Edward lived the rest of his life, that he was a lot more like Prince Harry. He craved the adoration that he had when he was the prince of Wales and Harry craves the adoration he had as Diana’s son and Charles’s son, but I don’t think he likes at all being Williams‘s brother. I did really enjoy this well researched, well written, and well thought out book.
