The shocking contents have now been revealed as Edward thanked the Nazi leader for his 'great hospitality' during a trip
A bombshell secret letter sent from the abdicated King Edward VIII to Adolf Hitler has been unearthed by a historian in the royal archives.
He talks of the “beautiful hours” he and bride Wallis Simpson spent in the monster’s company at his Berghof lair in the Bavarian mountains where he would later plot the course of the war. “Our trip through Germany has made a great impression on us, and we won’t forget the attentiveness you surrounded us with and the warm welcome we received everywhere.”
The Nazi sympathiser set up his meeting with Hitler after befriending the Duke. Bedaux and his wife Fern had generously paid for much of the lavish wedding, ensuring their hosting skills were fit for royalty. Larman says: “He believed he would be treated with more respect and dignity within Germany than he had been in his home country since the abdication.”
And Larman believes the Duke could have put the British establishment at huge risk and altered the outcome of the war if he’d had the opportunity.
