Her Lotus Year in the London Times

Posted: October 29th, 2024 | No Comments »

The London Times have some fun with some of the more salacious rumours that swirled around Wallis’s time in China – and are debunked by me. However, they were all true of other people in China in the 1920s…. (The description of Sir Victor Sassoon as an “Italian hotelier” is not from me or the book, and “harlot” is a very Times slur i feel!!).
