Episode 2

Tension continues to simmer on the eve of the Second World War, as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth make history as the first British monarchs to visit the USA. Edward stirs further controversy with the release of an explosive memoir in 1951. The estranged uncle to the new monarch, Elizabeth II, watches the coronation on French television. Only in 1970 does a young Prince Charles clandestinely visit the aging Duke of Windsor in Paris to herald a thawing of relations.
