1928. Wallis Simpson arrives from New York. Divorced and penniless, she is cold-shouldered by London society. Heat a few years later the King of England gives up his throne to marry her. How did Edward VIII, the world’s most glamorous bachelor, fall for the girl from nowhere?

The Duchess lifts the veil on Wallis’s unknown ‘Cinderella’ years in Britain. From her struggle for acceptance to her ascension to King’s favourite, it throws new light on the American who changed the monarchy and the love affair that shocked the world.
