The royal family's darkest secret and the establishment cover-up.
Half a century before Dodi and Diana, another Prince of Wales would
be involved in a deadly love triangle with a fabulously wealthy
Egyptian "prince." Prince Edward was the future King of England, a
destiny he would famously forsake over his love for Wallis Simpson.
But two decades prior he was involved in another love affair that
threatened to jeopardize the royal family. The story took place in
maisons de rendezvous, luxurious chateaux in the French countryside
providing hospitality for the British upper classes, the richest
food, the finest wines and the most beautiful women, the violent
and dangerous Paris demi-monde - where many of the women came from
- and the Savoy hotel in London, where a murder was committed. This
major royal scandal, superbly covered up by the Royal family, the
government and the judiciary has remained secret ever since. This
is the story of a passionate and deadly love affair set against the
dramatic backdrop of the Great War. Edward was enthralled by the
'crazy physical attraction' of Marguerite Alibert, queen of the
Paris demi-monde. When he broke off their hidden relationship,
Edward thought that he was free of Marguerite. He was wrong. After
the war, as a violent thunderstorm raged outside the luxurious
Savoy Hotel in London Marguerite fired three shots from a
semi-automatic pistol. Her husband, and Egyptian multimillionaire
and playboy, was shot dead at point blank range. Marguerite stood
trial for murder at the Old Bailey. As Prince Charming and poster
boy of the British Empire, Edward now risked exposure as a
degenerate wastrel, partying behind the lines while thousands were
blown away on the Western Front. Andrew Rose, using his long
experience as a barrister and judge, has uncovered a royal scandal
carefully airbrushed from history. Edward never quite escaped from
Marguerite who had taught the arts of love to a once and future
King. The Prince, the Princess and the Perfect Murder is the
product of several years' research, accessing unpublished documents
held in the Royal Archives and private collections in England and
France.
ANDREW ROSE'S "THE WOMAN BEFORE WALLIS" RECOUNTS THE UNTOLD
STORY OF PASSION, SCANDAL, AND DECADENCE BETWEEN A COURTESAN AND A
BRITISH PRINCE
Prince Edward was the King of England when he famously abdicated
his crown over his love for the American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
But two decades earlier, he was an awkward and inexperienced young
man, socializing with Europe's elite while stationed behind the
lines during World War I. It was there he met the alluring
Marguerite Alibert, the queen of the Paris demimonde.
Marguerite had fought her way up from street gamine to a woman
"haut de gamme" to become one of the highest-ranking courtesans in
Paris. Prince Edward was instantly smitten, but their affair
eventually turned sour. Edward thought he was free of
Marguerite--until she murdered her husband, a wealthy Egyptian
playboy, by shooting him three times in the back at the Savoy Hotel
in London. With Marguerite on trial for murder, Edward was at risk
of having their affair exposed. What happened next was buried for
decades, uncovered now thanks to exceptional access to documents
held in the Royal Archives and private collections.
