George VIs Nazi dilemma

Published: March 26, 2023, 11 p.m.

As the Second World War raged, King George VI faced not only a battle for the nation\u2019s survival, but also for the royal family\u2019s reputation. And that reputation came under threat from close quarters, when figures within the royal orbit, including the king\u2019s own brother, were either linked with or sympathetic to Nazi Germany. Alexander Larman tells Ellie Cawthorne about the threat these connections posed to Britain\u2019s royals, at a moment of national crisis.\n\n(Ad) Alexander Larman is the author of The Windsors at War: The Nazi Threat to the Crown (Orion, 2023).
