    Wallis in Love: The Untold Life of the Duchess of Windsor, the Woman Who Changed the Monarchy

    November 6, 2017
    On June of 1896, Bessie Wallis Warfield was born. In November of that same year, her tubercular father died.

    The Woman He Loved: The Story of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - Hardcover

    Synopsis

    Never in history had a love affair so stirred the imagination of so many millions of people all over the world. But then, never before had the king and emperor of the greatest empire in the world given up his throne to marry the woman he loved.

It is the story of one of the most fascinating women of o
