King Edward VIII is seen as a traitor to his own family, and it has been written about in several books. He is known by some as The Traitor King because he chose to marry a woman who was twice divorced, American and hungry for money.
The story of Edward and Wallis is currently playing out in the 21st Century with his great-great nephew, Prince Harry and his own American wife, Meghan Markle, but that’s not why we’re here. We’ve already written lists on King Charles III and Queen Elizabeth II.
There are so many amazing books about Edward VIII that we thought we’d do a list. We’ll be including links to Amazon products, and this post is NOT sponsored in any way, shape or form.
