The Queen Mother in Love

Channel 4's High Society season of documentaries begins with The Queen Mother in Love, which tells how this iconic royal figure of the 20th Century was first swept up into the company of the dashing but damaged sons of King George V. The woman who came to be one of the most popular royals of all time, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was a dazzling debutante, with her pick of eligible young men. She almost didn\'t marry the future George VI at all, turning him down at least twice. The film reveals that at the same time she was romantically linked to a bigger prize: his elder brother, the Prince of Wales, the future Edward VIII. Once married though, she took to the life a minor royal with relish, creating the perfect image of the happy royal family. Elizabeth and her husband were thrown onto centre stage with Edward VIII's infatuation with the twice-divorced American Wallis Simpson and his abdication.
The new Queen's ensuing treatment of Wallis Simpson can be described as petty, vengeful and merciless. Why could she never forgive her? Was it because she resented what it did to her family and to the monarchy, or maybe because Wallis had won the heart of the one man she couldn't?
