Once there was a Prince who was becoming known as a bit of a playboy. Naturally boisterous and more devoted to fun than his brother, he had spent years having a good time all around the world. While his brother married a lovely English young woman in a gorgeous ceremony and then started a family, the Prince continued to race from one party to the next.

And then, quite suddenly, he fell in love. But not with the expected English aristocrat. The Prince fell in love with an American! And, to make matters worse in a family threatened by scandal, she was divorced! The establishment in the monarchy were stunned. What was to be done about it?

The Prince of Wales, known as David to his family and friends, fell in love with and was determined to marry Wallis Simpson. His brother, known as Bertie, married Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Their romances threatened and reshaped the continuation of the British monarchy in 1936 and for years to come.
