King Edward VIII

Powell makes the case that Edward's love affair with America began long before he met Wallis Simpson. He visited the North America as a young man, and was so enchanted by the wilderness in Canada that he bought a ranch. Even though his visits were few and far between, he enjoyed both Canada and the U.S. He was treated differently in America, where he was a celebrity. People were excited to meet him, but they weren't deferential like they were in the UK. He was able to be himself at little bit more without being chastised. It was well written, I enjoyed it.
