The perfect tie-in with the upcoming film starring Joan Collins (The Duchess of Windsor), Miranda Richardson (Diana Mosley) and the Duchess's lawyer (Isabella Rosselini). Written with sharp intelligence and wit by the Duchess's closest confidante, Diana Mosley, this portrait offers an unparalleled, look at the woman behind the abdication crisis. Drawing on her own experience of high-society scandal and profound personal sacrifice, Mosley provides a uniquely qualified answer to what truly captivated Edward VIII in his lover and future wife for which he sacrificed his kingdom.
Diana Mitford, Lady Mosley, was the third of the Mitford sisters. She first married the Hon. Bryan Guinness and six years later Sir Oswald Mosley. With both husbands she had two sons, and many descendants such as fashion icons Daphne and Jasmine Guinness. She also wrote her bestselling memoirs, A Life of Contrasts, and The Pursuit of Laughter.
