Riviting -exceptionally impressive - thank you so very much, will buy the book. I had read what I though were rumors so couldn't believe them, seems the rumors were true. Too much for one viewing, will view 2x and buy the book.
Is king George V Maybe lot of things A Is a bad father a bully Not very clever But you can't give him credit for one thing he knew his son David better than anybody could ever imagine He
The Reverend Robert Jardine and his wife Maud spent most of the war years in Mexico, penniless. He was offered a church post in South Africa however they had to return to the UK to settle their affairs. He died in Bedford in March 1950 and is buried in an unmarked grave, apparently unknown even to his family. Pretty damn sad in my opinion 👍🇿🇦
Out of everything I've read about them you are the first I've heard that has talked about their connection with Scotty Bowers.. I was truly surprised that you mentioned it. I don't understand why everyone has tried to make them sound as if all they were was sad lovers that the monerchy wouldn't allow to be together. I'm an American and am very happy the UK missed a bullet in not having Edward as king.
There is documentation he went with Hitler to view the building/principles of concentration camps. But hey Lord Mountbatten.. Prince Phillip Prince Andrew Jimmy Saville pots and kettles
If he was involved w the Nazis and he was such a crook why was he never tried? I don’t believe a lot of this. The display of hate that is distilled is amazing
I'd have thought that was obvious. Trying him as a traitor would've brought the whole monarchy down. I don't think war weary Britain would've survived that. The 'establishment' covered it up.
Just listened to the Mountbatten/MI5/Children 's home conspiracies. Very well explained and the mention of Brian Gemmel (sp?) And how badly he was treated when he 'whistled' is appalling, RIP. Thanks for this wonderful research and not giving up x
Very enlightening talk. I loved it. Amazing how corrupt and traitorous he was. I would love to be a fly on the wall once Andrew’s life story is laid bare which it will.
Yes, but to be fair, the inhabitants were Germans, dressed in reasonable uniforms, good health, good weight, pretending to be inhabitants. But yes, there were a tiny few escapes, there were a few Allied military put into the camps temporarily. There were a few who risked their lives to sneak out info. There was at least one person who went into the camp, to report on actual experience - but politicians across the board, did not want to know. But the same can be said for the Burma railway and the at rocities of the Japanese. Men rarely escaped but did. They begged for help for those men. Nothing - and most of those who escaped were then treated as trouble makers. Truly appalling.
@@MrDaiseymay QEII was the first British monarch since the Stuarts to be 1/2 British (thru her Scots mother). Charles III is only 1/4 British, though his sons are 3/4 and grandchildren 7/8 British.
Fascinating. I've read a lot about this couple but I learned a lot from just this short talk. I wish I didn't have to wait 6 months until the Kindle version is released so I can read it.
I have to admit, if I was British and either lived thru the horrible nightly bombing of London or lost lloved ones....I'd be spitting mad at this traitorous king in exile( thank God that he DID abdicate or the Brita would be under German rule!!
Fascinating book; well worth reading, especially if you listened to this talk. I know from my late mother that Edward VIII was very popular as a young man (before he became King). If she had known the truth about him she would have been HORRIFIED!
I'm in my 80's, and when i was young, my parents held the same view of Edward, and often mentioned his tour of South Wales Coal Mining Villages, during the 1926 National general strike. Reports claimed that he was apalled by the poverty, and stated that''Something must be done about this '' This remark was all over the Newspaper's the next day, and caused a political storm in Parliament. This simple off the cuff remark, endeared him to the working Class millions, thinking that something WILL--be done now. Of course, nothing changed.
@@MrDaiseymayYes, my parents remarked upon that, too. He did nothing. My mother always reckoned that Wallis wanted to be queen. Now we know that she didn't want to marry David after all.
I find it very interesting that accounts of Wallis’ character differ vastly from author to author…it is truly perplexing. I would love to know the real story. I enjoyed Anna Pasternak’s book…but she painted her in too positive a light it seemed…faultless almost, compared to the rest. It is hard to know what to believe.
There's a book called " The heart has its reasons " written by Wallis in 1956 .Iam reading it now and it's given a good insight so far 😊 as I've read of it .
I’ve read a lot about her. There’s a lot that’s never mentioned but documented. Her first husband said divorce was his fault and she was the finest woman he knew. Also she was very close to her extended family. She took her Aunt on the famous Nahlins cruise. She met Edward through Thelma Furness but she met Thelma bc she was good friends with Thelma’s older sister from her California days. So she maintained relationships over long period of time. She’s been demonized and definitely not perfect but a woman of her time. Her uncle controlled het with money so of course she sought financial freedom. She was self absorbed for sure but so was he.
@@82566 Yes, but The Heart is Wallis' PR story. It wasn't going to say I am a vain, silly woman. I have no interests but holidays, clothes, jewels, etc. Let alone, I loa the Je ws
Anna Pasternak is embarrassingly besotted. She may have have found evidence she did not want to marry, but she was a vain, shallow woman, obsessed with clothes and jewels, freebies, and it appears she took on all the political views of the men she was with. Her whole morality bent for her own financial and marital interests. As to being secretly, sadly in love with Ernest, still... I think she told ALL her men they were her true love. She even told Herman's last wife he was her true love - but she said the same of at least 2 other men. I think she did that to encourage them all to protect her reputation and to feel that if she asked anything of them, they would agree. An absolute user - but so foul, why would anyone care?
Their sad lives were of their own making. The Kenneth Harris interview included the question why didn't you get a job? Not a bad question for two healthy well educated, childless people with opportunities most of us can only dream of. Why didn't either one of them ever get a job?? She said she would have enjoyed a career in advertising. He said he would have enjoyed doing something, but nothing in particular.. With their connections they could have run a philanthropic foundation. Vogue magazine would have hired her in a heartbeat as a fashion editor, he could have pursued a career in journalism, television or radio. Instead, they devoted their lives to doing nothing.
Now, this should be made into a film so that the truth is known to a wider audience. Some people still the Windsors received the backhand from the Royal Family. In truth, they were traitors and manipulative. Well done.
My grandmother and Wallis Simpson had mutual acquaintances and Wallis was a woman of ill repute whom "nobody would want marrying into their family." The interview Kenneth Harris did revealed both the Duke and Duchess to be devoid of intellect. The answers they gave to various questions were vacuous. They were talking, but they never said anything. I thought some of the answers were funny: what do you think of young people today "they're having a lot of fun," why didn't you have a job "I don't know," on the loneliness of the elderly "there's always a seat for an extra man at a dinner party" on their experience in the Bahamas "the RAF gave me a silver box," The full interview goes on and on and on until you realize the two of them have nothing of interest to say
I found their interview with Harris to be both entertaining and charming. They both possessed real class, style, and dignity. Wallis when asked what she thought of the mini-skirt: "Well you certainly know what you're getting."
@@warrenpaine they couldn't answer the question "why didn't you get a job?" She would have liked to have an advertising agency, but couldn't explain why she didn't. He could have done "something," but could not explain why he didn't. He could have headed up a charitable foundation or gone into journalism or broadcasting, but he didn't do anything! They said they wanted children, but they adopted pugs instead of babies. They were wealthy, well-educated people who never did anything. Europe was devastated by WWII and needed everybody to pitch in and rebuild. And those two did nothing
In a German interview the Duke of Windsor gave, in German, he was most insistent that he was not living in exile because he was free to return to England whenever he so wished.
Randolph Churchill was a foul alcoholic. Doesn't matter which one, until the one after the wedding picture Randolph, who would be too young for me to know anything.
Thank you for your presentation. We know why they decide to destroy records ? Other countries have their own intelligence gathering organizations which is in their archives and beyond reach. Thank you for getting there first.

@@andrewlownie2033 Do you know who was responsible for killing all the beautiful trees around the Chateau de Cande? Should be an executionable offence.
Regarding your mockery of claims about Wallis's taste: If you look at home décor magazine articles from the 1930s & 40s, you'll see that the aesthetic preferences & fashions were very different from now, just as those 80 years in the future will be. Wallis was indeed considered to have fine taste, particularly in clothing, but also in jewelry, furnishings, food & refreshments at her (dinner) parties, the chefs she hired, even her selection of guests invited to a given event. There is no way that her life could have been properly researched without coming across this information, so your comment shows ignorance of her times and small-minded meanness of spirit. It makes me believe your books are most likely salacious hatchet jobs, not the frank and revelatory but even-handed works most of us wish to read.
@@brummiejojo I did and Abously hated it !! His facts are at best to please a nosy public and make money .His historical facts from chapter one are miss leading and are not all factual.
Not impressed by the book and presentation. The comparison to Harry and Meghan is totally unfair, unjust and uncalled for. This 'historian' should do better 😮
Nothing at all. Treason is not a light affair. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were empty minded and unworthy of any note. Meghan and Harry have family, have not committed treason and are self sufficient.
I had seen the documentary based on the book on one of the history channels in the US. I had first read about the DOW back in 1972 and seen movies and documentaries like for example one starred Faye Dunaway as the DOW and another starring Edward Fox as the DOW. I wonder if Lady Furness the aunt of Gloria Vanderbilt regrets introducing Wallis to the POW? Also,back in 1948 when George VI got sick the DOW tried to get back on the thrown. He loved to reign but,won’t do the work.
You are so right! A lot of other books include some of these rumors (which this author based his entire book on) and state them as false, lies, untrue and just nasty gossip. It’s easy to scandalize and make money on dead people who haven’t got any relatives on their own alive to can defend them (and sue this author).
Wow ! Lots of hate, jealous, and uneducated speeches here about Wallis and Edward ! Let's open your mind, this is the year of 2024 ! Compared to Charles & Camilla and Harry & Meghan in 2024, Edward & Wallis are the angels and innocents !
After listening to your vile interview on GB news I must say I began to doubt everything that come out of your mouth. I was shocked to hear how liberal you were with unchecked comments half-time truths and personal opinion. I think you should market your books as a work of fiction as you let yourself down the vile comments about Harry and Megan. Regardless of what anyone think, if your are marketing yourself as an historian you should stick to what you can prove.
The truth often bites, Norma. Your own remarks are not grounded in facts and in historical context. As for the Sussexes, they are irrelevant, with fathers on either side cruelly disabused. That one father is a king throws more shade on befuddled and vapid PH.
Great presentation by Andrew Lownie; I am a new follower and enjoy his insightful writing. Its a treat see him present.
His books are an excellent read.

Thanks for letting me know about it.

What an amazing man so so clever how could he remember all that wow enjoyed that very much
Is king George V Maybe lot of things A Is a bad father a bully Not very clever But you can't give him credit for one thing he knew his son David better than anybody could ever imagine He
Why was a marriage not arranged for David? His siblings all had arranged marriages, as were his parents'.
It was deliberately kept out of the press bc the King was popular to his subjects.
The Reverend Robert Jardine and his wife Maud spent most of the war years in Mexico, penniless. He was offered a church post in South Africa however they had to return to the UK to settle their affairs. He died in Bedford in March 1950 and is buried in an unmarked grave, apparently unknown even to his family. Pretty damn sad in my opinion 👍🇿🇦

The Germans are not that stupid it was self evident that they could just go around the Maginot Line
Yes but they didn't have the details which the Duke supplied.
Freda Dudley Ward was one month younger than the Duke! Get your facts right Lownie
Abously his facts are not correct.
There is documentation he went with Hitler to view the building/principles of concentration camps. But hey Lord Mountbatten.. Prince Phillip Prince Andrew Jimmy Saville pots and kettles
The author has an irritating habit of mumbling when he speaks.
I don't believe this man. He is selling half-truths, lies, half-lies and exaggerations to write and sell a book.
the author is telling the truth--various other authors have revealed bits and pieces of this.
Read the book. I'm reading it now and almost every paragraph has a footnote. All verified. If you don't like the truth that's another story.
Always convenient to write a vicious hit piece AFTER the subjects are both deceased and can't sue for defamation.
By that logic, critical books could never be written about deceased persons, which is ludicrous.
Absurd, provincial sentimentality evident in this comment thread.
If he was involved w the Nazis and he was such a crook why was he never tried? I don’t believe a lot of this. The display of hate that is distilled is amazing
What would you believe?
Propaganda worked back then. Its over now. Truth can be told.
The association is well documented and photographed. Try getting you information from a few different sources. There will be corroboration.
I'd have thought that was obvious. Trying him as a traitor would've brought the whole monarchy down. I don't think war weary Britain would've survived that. The 'establishment' covered it up.
Flippant and facile.

Thanks to Mr. Lownie for confirming what we thought we knew and filling in the gaps. Quite fascinating.
Just curious as to why Thelma Furness was not mentioned. She was David’s mistress directly before Wallis.
This man has been a shinning light in the dark tunnels of coverups.
It seems Wallis took one for the team. I've read the book. Excellent. So is his book about The Mountbattens.
