IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 16 October 1936 that Lord Beaverbrook, the publisher of
the Daily Express, the most successful newspaper in the world, advised
King Edward VIII that his relationship with the married American woman,
Wallis Simpson, would not be mentioned in any of Britain's newspapers.
The rest of the world was, however, speculating on the threat to the
monarchy if the King were to marry her, once her divorce was finalised.
