Wallis Simpson was 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 is about the women he adored before Wallis dominated his
life. There was Rosemary Leveson Gower, the girl he wanted to marry
and who would have made the perfect match for a future king; the
Prince's long-term mistress, Freda Dudley Ward, who exerted a pull
almost equal to Wallis over her lover, but abided by the rules of
the game and knew she would never marry him. Then there was Thelma
Furness, his twice-married American lover, who enjoyed a domestic
life with him, but realised it could not last forever and demanded
nothing more than to be his mistress. In each love affair, Edward
behaved like a cross between a little boy lost and a spoilt child.
Each one of the three women in this book could have changed the
course of history. In examining their lives and impact on the heir
to the throne, we question whether he ever really wanted to be
king.
