Description

The Duke of Windsor, after abdicating the throne, contemplated adopting a son to enhance his public image post-WWII, amidst criticism for his war record, extravagant spending, and unpaid bills. He sought advice from Clare Boothe Luce, suggesting the adopted son wouldnt inherit royal titles. However, the Duchess rejected the plan, preferring to maintain her style icon status. Instead, they wrote memoirs to regain public approval and financial stability.
