For her unimpeachable fashion sense, her role in the abdication of her husband, and her shameful connection with Adolf Hitler - fascination with Wallis Simpson continues unabated nearly 40 years after her death. Now, discussing Wallis Simpson: Her Lotus Year in 1920s China, award-winning historian Paul French talks about the thrilling experiences which made her in a fractious foreign land among the hustle of 1920s Shanghai and the high chinoiserie of that intriguing era. Chaired by Isabel Hilton.
