(3.76) | 5 | The authorised life story of the king who gave up his throne for love, by one of our most distinguished biographers.

Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. But the greatness of the sacrifice he made for her, the fortitude with which he battled for her over the thirty-six years of their marriage, the steadfastness of his love until the day he died are matters which should not be forgotten when any final judgment is essayed of the life and character, if not the reign, of King Edward VIII, later Duke of Windsor.
