    Thank you Mr Vickers for your clear, concise and honest appraisal of the Duke and Ducess of Windsor. Your books are always impeccably researched and written.

    This is one of the best interviews about Wallis that I have seen. It really helps give some perspective into what the parties may have been thinking at the time (Edward, perhaps escape - Wallis, perhaps flattery gone out of control) and gives, to my mind, a more realistic view of the abdication and their lives than we often see elsewhere these days. Thanks for this upload.

    I always thought what a wonderful Love story it was but actually now I am revisiting the Windsor's and the Abdication Crisis, it's a lot darker than just a Love Story. He wanted her more than she wanted him. She thought it was an infatuation that would fizzle out on his part and someone new would come along.

    Hugo Vickers interview was very interesting and will be researching him and reading his work. Being born in 1937 I heard talk of
    the abdication and Wallace growing up but do not remember any criticism of her, it was more of a love story. Later after I was in college I read about her background and knew that her family was of aristocracy. I never had access to news articles or the tabloids. I have always been interested in the monarchy, in fact we used to say we wished the English had won so we would be speaking the kings English. I have English heritage and was brought up about 90 miles from Savannah, Georgia and had an Aunt that lived on one of the squares in which we would visit occasionally-I was just there this weekend. My husband and I loved visiting England. In school we got to go to the downtown movie theater to see the coronation of the queen. We would get the Sunday Savannah newspaper and I would always cut out any article or image they had on Queen Elizabeth and save them in my cedar chest. Just for the English to know, we have not for gotten our roots and the Queen is an influence here as she is over much of the world. Actually I was not going to take the Covid jab but I said if the Queen has taken it so will I. I made sure I took the Pfizer jab because that’s what I read she had taken. Now the new puppies she has is something I am thinking about.

    Thank heavens she came along and got him out of power., even if that was not what she intended. Otherwise, it would've been a disaster for Brittain during the war. Love this historian, style and in-depth content.

    Thank you so much for this inteview. I just recently got interested in the duchess, and felt I wanted to look beyond the accusations and rumours. This was very helpful.

    The awkward silence between questions is downright painful. The interviewer needs to keep up!

    • @RoseSharon7777
      @RoseSharon7777 3 роки тому +3

      Most interviewers do this because it leaves time for the speaker to add more to thier statement. This is usually when most bombshells are revealed. An old journalistic trick i guess its called. However, there are times its a bit ridiculous!!

    • @juniemoon1528

      K. Day Look at 14:45 - very awkward. The subject even looks away. This is just bad interviewing skills and/or not properly preparing. Thank you, DBM, but maybe let someone else do the questioning? At 20:38 - come on. No one converses like this.

    King David didn’t like being king he made the right decision he had a good life out in beautiful France I believe he used her at first to abdicate

    The church and the Firm were not going to allow this man to marry Wallis no matter what they did. Stanley Baldwin, did not want Edward to be king at all.

    They treated the Duke of Windsor like shit after he abdicated. George VI could have refused the throne, and handed it over to his brother the Duke of Gloucester, but he didn´t..He choose to succeed, and went on the be a great king. No need to hate Edward VIII for that. Edward VIII should have been allowed to live in England and for his wife should have been made a royal duchess.

    • @yellyman5483

      @@briandelaney9710 There was no war between the UK and Germany when Edward VIII was king. And after Edward VIII abdicated he went to Germany once, in 1937 as Duke of Windsor. He went as a private citizen. And this was two years before WWII started. Had the Duke of Windsor gone to Germany after UK declared war on Germany in 1939 i would have agreed that there was a problem, but you cannot jugde a man for going to Germany before the war started. That was perfectly legit.

      He chose to abdicate. They were supported financially. From then on, apart from his short stint as Governor of Bermuda, he and Wallis lived an empty and shallow life. They contributed nothing. His brother and sister in law picked up the enormous responsibility and duty that he walked away from. It would have been inappropriate for the Windsors to return to live in Britain and the Government would never have permitted it.
