This week, we have a special guest, author Jane Tippett, who has written a new book about Edward VIII called Once a King: The Lost Memoir of Edward VIII. Tippett discusses her book on the abdication crisis and King Edward VIII. She talks about her research process and the surprising access she had to the Royal Archives. Tippett explores Edward's role as a writer and the significance of his memoirs. She also addresses the controversy surrounding Edward's relationship with Nazi Germany and dispels misconceptions. Tippett highlights the complex dynamics between Edward, his ghostwriter Charles Murphy, and figures like Winston Churchill. Overall, this interview and her book offer a fresh perspective on Edward's life and the challenges prevailing in the narratives. NOTE: A contest for a signed copy of the book is mentioned in the podcast; as this is an early release, the contest is not live yet (it will be on Friday).
