OK but one-sided

A good-enough documentary of his life up to the time he left England.

But it is one-sided. Little is said of his "spoilt-brat" attitude.

Nothing much after the Abdication - which the Duke usually saw as the world trying to stop him doing what he wanted. The book was published in 1951, so this "documentary" makes nothing of the wasted 1950s when the Duke and Duchess wandered from one party to another, spending the allowance and cash from the sale of his private estates which saw them end up effectively broke, living in a free house courtesy of the French Government.

A watchable film based on the book designed to paint the Windsors in the best possible light, and ignore anything that might tarnish the image.

One of the Best Documentaries Ever!

Inside look at the life of King Edward VIII from his birth until he left England. A "must see" for anyone who is interested in the Royal Family or British History. Includes in-depth interviews with His Royal Highness The Duke of Windsor and The Duchess of Windsor. Based upon His Royal Highness's book of the same name, published in 1951. I would advise everyone to see this film.

Duke of Windsor: I have changed my name seven times in my life: I was born Prince Edward of York, I then became Prince Edward of Cornwall and York, I then became Prince Edward of Wales, I then became The Duke of Cornwall, I then became Prince of Wales, I then became King Edward VIII, and now I'm The Duke of Windsor.
