Days after the end of World War Two,King George VI sent the royal courtier and Soviet spy Anthony Blunt on a secret mission to a German castle to recover vital royal letters.But it was the contents of a battered metal canister,buried in remote German woodland,that sent shock waves through the British establisment.Inside were Top Secret files revealing the innermost workings of the Nazi regime,including incriminating correspondence relating to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.For twelve years Churchill and other political leaders attempted to cover up,censor and destroy the contents of the notorious Windsor File to spare the monarchy from embarrassment.
Now,for the first time,Andrew Morton explores the full story of the couple's bizarre entanglement with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi elite,epitomised by Wallis Simson's apparent affair with Nazi diplomat von Ribbentrop,which led to him sending her seventeen carnations daily,one for each night they had spent together.The king and his court suspected that she was a Nazi spy and their pre-war visit to Germany only served to confirm suspicions about the disloyalty of the royal exiles.
Fatally linked to pro-Nazi sympathisers,the ex-king and his American wife became embroiled in a conspiracy,inspired by Hitler,to install Edward as a puppet king once Britain was invaded.For the first time,'17 Carnations' unveils the whole fascinating saga,a royal story the establishment tried to ban.
