It wasn’t always okay for British royalty to marry a divorced American.
It is 1936 and King Edward VIII must make a choice: keep his crown or marry Wallis Simpson.
Wallis is a divorced woman. If he marries her, he will be forced to abdicate.
But what if he should keep her as his mistress, and thereby, keep his crown?
Would Wallis accept a life forever in the shadows, or would she become the power behind the throne?
It is the great depression. The people are starving. King Edward demands something must be done.
But the king’s government is uncaring.
Hitler and Stalin are on the rampage. War looms.
But the king’s government is weak.
The military swears an oath of allegiance to the king, not the government.
Will King Edward seize back the lost powers of the sovereign, be the next strong man of Europe?
Will Edward and Wallis take over?
Will King Edward VIII choose duty over love?
