THE DUCHESS OF WINDSOR
Sir.-From time to time I am sur. prised at the ignorance or lack of general knowledge displayed by radio commentators, but today during Book Shop I received one of my greatest shocks, It was to hear G. C. A. Wall refer to the writer of The Heart has its Reasons as Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Windsor! Surely he was aware of the fact that in 1937 the late King had been advised by both British and Dominion Prime Ministers that he must limit the title, style and attribute of Royal Highness to his brother alone. For to quote the Duchess: "The title was to be withheld from me and from the issue, if any, of our marriage. David would henceforth be known as His Royal Highness and Duke of Windsor, and I would be the Duchess of Windsor." Can you wonder at my surprise? ;

(Yes. A great many other people would have been equally ignorant. So much depends on what one has been reading lately.-Ed.)
