For decades, the British royal family had kept silent about the scandal that nearly destroyed their monarchy; the abdication Edward VIII to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson.

Now, for the first time a member of the Royal family dares to tell the entire inside story. Prince Edward Windsor (the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth and grand nephew of Edward VIII) explores the romance that shocked the world.

From their forbidden affair to their lavish life in exile, Edward on Edward probes the private life of the century's most celebrated couple shares many startling revelations:

· Exclusive footage and family photos never before made public reveal the opulent private world of Edward and Wallis, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
· The Duke's personal paper's, until now locked in the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle, detail the Royal family's bitterness toward him and their utter contempt for Wallis.
· Diplomats and foreign agents speak publicly about Hitler's plan to return the Duke to the throne as a puppet king.
· The Windsor's closest friends and servants recall the Duke and Duchess's life of splendor, the breathtaking homes, the lavish parties, even their legendary shipping sprees.
