It’s 1936 and King Edward VIII must make a choice: keep his crown or marry Wallis Simpson. Wallis is a divorcee. If he marries her, he must abdicate. But what if he keeps her as his mistress and thereby keeps his crown? Would Wallis accept a life in the shadows? Might she become the power behind the throne? It is the Great Depression. The people are hungry. Edward demands: ‘Something must be done, ’ but the politicians are deaf to his concerns. Meanwhile, Hitler and Stalin are on the rampage. War looms. The military swears an oath to the monarch, not their government. Will Edward seize back the lost powers of the sovereign? Will he become the next ‘strong man’ of Europe?

Will Wallis and Edward take over?
