Described by The Telegraph as Edward s truth


Once a King


is the never before seen and unfiltered story of King Edward VIII,


the original royal renegade,


who abdicated his throne and left the royal family to pursue his own destiny.


Fifteen years after having abdicated the throne to marry the woman he loved - Wallis Simpson - King Edward VIII,


now the Duke of Windsor,


published his memoirs.


But whilst preparing the manuscript for his published and mostly ghostwritten book - which,


unlike Prince Harry s autobiography Spare,


largely avoided controversy -


the Duke also produced a private manuscript for posterity.


This was written in his own words and with an uninhibited frankness.


Once a King: The Lost Memoir of Edward VIII reproduces this uncrowned King s previously unseen writing,


including much that he could or would not write for publication in 1951.


Jane Marguerite Tippett weaves together Edward s writing alongside newly uncovered interviews with the Duke and Duchess,


diary entries from ghostwriter Charles Murphy and other sources.


Together this forms an extraordinary new portrait of one of the most famous characters in modern royal history and his recollections and innermost feelings,


particularly around the abdication of 1936.
