Description

Wallis Simpson is known as the woman who stole the king's heart and rocked the monarchy - but she was not Edward VIII's first or only love. This book explores the women he adored before Wallis dominated his life, including Rosemary Leveson-Gower, Freda Dudley Ward, and Thelma Furness. Edward's relationships with these three women were complex and multifaceted, marked by a desire for affection and attention that often bordered on emotional blackmail. Each of them could have changed the course of history, and their stories offer a fascinating glimpse into the life of the heir to the throne. By examining the lives and impact of Edward VIII's pre-Wallis love affairs, we are left to wonder whether he ever truly wanted to be king.
