Windsors' War
First broadcast: 29 September 1982
The publication of a new book about the Windsors leads to a passionate discussion. Speaking on behalf of the Duchess of Windsor, Maitre Suzanne Blum, her solicitor, hopes the publication will counter accusations that the Windsors were Nazi sympathisers and reveal the poor treatment they endured during the war years. The book also affirms that the Duke of Windsor wanted to return to the UK and resume a respected royal role, a wish that was never fulfilled. This is the first time his private and personal viewpoint has been made public.
