By lookg at fil the Stat and other untri and lookg at private papers, one began to get the sense that they were much more eply implited than perhaps history has realized, bee of urse, a lot of the fil have been stroyed or cleaned out.

There is a paradox. Here was a man who didn’t want the crown, effect, and allowed himself to be manvered away. But I thk he changed his md, and he realized what he’d lost. He need to build himself up the ey of Wallis. She, I thk, rented the fact that he had been outmanvered. It was a mixture of personal and polil. So, personal was upstagg his brother, gettg back at the fay who he felt had not been very nice to him by eezg him out.

Bee I feel like he’s not only greedy, he’s weird. He’s a really weird du. But what did you make of his character?</strong></p><p class="paywall">He was emotnally stunted. So he wrote, for example, to his girliends baby talk. He was nstantly lookg for a mother figure which Wallis provid. She was the domant person the relatnship. She took his jewels and loved the accs he gave her to all sorts of tertg people, but I don’t thk she ever loved him.</p><p class="paywall">But he was a very weak man. He was very stupid. He had no ner life. The thgs that terted him were garng, golf, watchg his vtments, and entertag. He was a very heavy drker, and he would break to song or to German when he got dnk the middle of a meal. So he was totally unsuable to be kg.

Do you thk he realized that the Nazis were gog to e mass ath on the sle that they did?</strong></p><p class="paywall">I thk he knew perfectly well. When he did his tour [of Germany] October 1937, he saw a ncentratn mp. He spected the SS. He read the papers, so he mt have seen even before the war there were all sorts of terrible thgs gog on. I don’t thk he uld have had any misnceptn about what the Nazis were about. And of urse, people were briefg him, warng him, tellg him to stay away. So I don’t thk ’s the se of jt turng a bld eye. He, I thk, que liberately engaged wh them bee he believed the strong men.</p><p class="paywall"><strong>There’s a throughle the early days of the war, where people wh ti to the German regime keep askg him to start an ternatnal “peace movement,” and he said his ma goal was preventg war between England and Germany.

I don’t thk he was a genue peacemonger. Appeasement was the policy before the war, and even his brother Gee VI was supportive, and that really was a genue wish to avoid a war and to fight Rsia rather than to fight the Anglo-Saxon natns. But the fact is that the De was trigug wh Nazi agents. He was nsultg wh the Nazis when we knew what their rerd was, even 1937. Of urse, the book he is workg wh the Germans to e back as a puppet kg. That isn’t a sire for peace. That’s a sire basilly to get back at his brother and get the throne back.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH

When he first viss after the abditn, Gee VI even tells his staff not to give any nfintial briefgs to Edward. How did Gee know?</strong></p><p class="paywall">It was their father, Gee V, who had actually put Edward unr surveillance. It was the first time ever Brish history that a [future] kg had been put unr telligence surveillance like that. Everyone around him was feedg back rmatn. The kg put Wallis unr surveillance as well. So this was partly his discretn. So Gee VI sayg he n’t be tsted was jt somethg he’d picked up om his father, that he uldn’t be tsted.</p><p class="paywall"><strong>It rais a broar qutn. Havg now wrten both about the Mountbattens, who have a plited legacy world affairs, and Wallis and Edward, what do you feel like you’ve learned about the monarchy?</strong></p><p class="paywall">Well, the sort of trope of the crown is this tensn between private pleasure and public duty, and most of the royals fall to the public duty thg. So Gee VI, the Queen, <strong>Prce Charl</strong>, <strong>William</strong> and <strong>Kate</strong>. But there are always, what I ll the rogue royals, the on that put private pleasure first. So that would be now <strong>Harry</strong> and <strong>Meghan</strong>, <strong>Prce Andrew</strong>, the De of Wdsor, Prcs Margaret, often the send child who hasn’t really got a role. But that’s not always te, <strong>Prcs Anne</strong> is one of those dutiful on. So I’m terted the rogue royals bee I mean, they are the most tertg. The goody-goodi are not as fun as the baddi.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-3 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">Of urse, we n see parallels between Harry and Meghan and the De of Wdsor and Wallis to this day. Then there are bat wh the fay about fanc and secury. There’s an attempt to curate the story, to sue the prs. The playbook is exactly the same for both upl.</p><p class="paywall"><strong>There’s a sense that the pot of a royal fay is to serve as moral ials for the society, and that is fely a legacy of Queen Victoria. But I thk that’s not historilly what royalty has been. Edward is this very tertg figure who after everybody expects a certa type of moral piety om their royals. How have they mataed that image spe ocsnal laps?</strong></p><p class="paywall">Well, the royal fay reprents the natn. We look up to them and, as you say, want to rpect them. We want to feel that they uphold Christian valu, and that’s clearly what the Queen do. But of urse, the royals have got up to all sorts of mischief behd the scen, even the so-lled rpectable on, bee people keep quiet. We are very ferential here. A lot of this material is not subject to eedom of rmatn—one of the exemptns is munitns wh the monarch. So a lot of the stori are vered up. And they tend to mix wh people, very much part of their own circl, gog back generatns, and those people are not gog to blow the gaff. I’m dog a book on Prce Andrew at the moment, and people are jt not speakg. There is an omertà, ’s like the Mafia.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div

The fact is that lerally every day the paper, there’s a royal story. People are speakg and talkg out. Ined, the royals themselv are briefg the prs, so they’re unrmg their own mystique.
