The Crown in Crisis

Countdown to the Abdication

Alexander Larman
Previously unseen archive material and interviews with friends of those involved inform this day-to-day account of events leading to the abdication of Edward VIII in December 1936. It offers a nuanced view of the King and Wallis Simpson, considers the roles of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and Archbishop Cosmo Lang, and sheds light on the shadowy figures of Walter Monckton, Edward’s lawyer, and Alec Hardinge, his secretary.
