Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor died in Paris in April 1986, a few weeks short of her 90th birthday. Despite having vanished from public life for more than a decade, her death made headlines around the world, prompting a fresh retelling of Edward VIII’s abdication story, and reignited a long-smouldering feud between the exiled Windsors and the Royal Family. Acknowledged royal expert Hugo Vickers has followed the story of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor since he was a young man and his book “Behind Closed Doors” is part detective story, part gripping royal history. Hugo joins us to reveal a startling new perspective on the story of on of the 10th century’s most fascinating and ill-fated couples.
Join us at the Sandon Literature Festival for two days of stimulating conversations with some brilliant authors.
