Wallis Simpson: The Secret Letters (2011x16)

Uitzenddatum: Aug 24, 2011

Biographer Anne Sebba examines 15 letters by the American socialite, who was widely perceived to have lured Edward VIII away from the English throne. The documents, found among a newly discovered cache, were written around the time of the king's abdication in 1936 and indicate she was in love with another man - information that could change the historical profile of the American socialite.
