Customer Reviews

Fairly fair and balanced

I would like to add to the other review, something I gained: the knowledge that Queen Mary, the Queen Mum's mother-in-law, not a born royal and sometimes the object of derision by the famously haughty Princess Margaret, did not always share all her daughter-in-law's opinions, notably of the infamous Wallis. The speculation that, as a young girl, the Queen Mother had been in love with the Duke of Windsor, also colors heavily the events that followed.

Definitely down on Wallis...

A very interesting book, though the author is decidedly pro monarchy and particularly towards the Queen Mother. Wallis comes off as a shrew of the greatest magnitude, while the Queen Mum seems destined for sainthood. Having read a number of books about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, it's interesting to see the story from the other side. Let's just say that both women had their fair share of faults...and leave it at that.
