Behind Closed Doors

"A page turner... Hugo Vickers' compelling account makes one feel that Wallis did the Queen a favour" Literary Review "With a lifetime's interest in the subject, Vickers knows everything there is to know about the Windsors ... The first half of Behind Closed Doors, as well as being an accumulation of evidence against Blum, is the story of a personal journey into the world of the Windsors in which Vickers quotes from nearly 40 years of his own diary entries. It is also a hugely entertaining account of the battle between biographers for ownership of their subject ... The book's second half is a biography of Wallis Simpson, nee Warfield. Vickers delves into her family tree with his accustomed detail and gives a realistic account of the end of her marriage to Ernest Simpson." Telegraph "A definitively brilliant history of the whole story" -- A.N. Wilson Evening Standard
