| Summary |
Edward VIII is popularly remembered as the king who gave up the throne for the woman he loved. Yet his reputation has been tarnished by revelations that Hitler planned to install him as a pro-Nazi king in the event of a German occupation of Britain. This documentary looks at newly released FBI files which reveal the extent to which Edward was distrusted by the British and US governments, and the risk he posed to the war effort.
