A sensational rivalry between an English queen and an American social climber. In this electrifying novel, the New York Times bestselling author of The Swans of Fifth Avenue tells the story of the Abdication of Edward VIII—and the two women at the center of it all.“As deliciously dishy as an English cream tea and the royal gossip whispered over it!”—Kate Quinn, author of The Astral LibraryFeuding Windsor brothers and their wives—some things, it seems, never change. The Windsor Affair recreates the cataclysmic events that nearly toppled the monarchy and incited the power struggle between Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Wallis Simpson. Told from the perspective of both women, the novel propels readers into the fabulous world of the debonair Prince of Wales, café society of the 1930s, and the glittering private lives of the Windsors. The first novel to be dedicated to this infamous rivalry, The Windsor Affair brings us all the gossip and intrigue between the two very different—yet perhaps more similar than they would admit—wives of royals.As Queen, Elizabeth would become the symbol of British pluck and courage during World War II and remain a British institution the rest of her long life. Wallis would be forever forced to enact the World’s Greatest Love Story even after it sours, as she goes from being admired to vilified and, ultimately, pitied. Against the backdrop of the Abdication Crisis, World War II, coronations, funerals, births, and deaths, these two women maintain a biting, sharp-tongued feud—until age and the long arm of history bring about a kind of understanding. For the last communication between these bitter rivals was a simple, surprising message: “In friendship, Elizabeth.”About our Guest:Melanie Benjamin is a prize-winning novelist and New York Times bestselling author of California Golden, The Children’s Blizzard, Mistress of the Ritz, The Girls in the Picture, The Swans of Fifth Avenue, The Aviator's Wife, The Autobiography of Mrs.Tom Thumb, and Alice I Have Been. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/doylestown/doylestown-melanie-benjamin-the-windsor-affair/100001997154093656 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, coronation-weekend - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: The Doylestown Bookshop - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 35.5, max: 35.5, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Doylestown - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Doylestown Bookshop - **lat**: 40.3095688 - **long**: -75.13056489999997 - **full address**: The Doylestown Bookshop, 16 S Main St, Doylestown, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Doylestown: Melanie Benjamin // THE WINDSOR AFFAIR - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/0564a8d1bcd13fb05813b9bca49f14932527b1a974af915666fdfaf7d60ffb4e-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1786120460 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Doylestown: Melanie Benjamin // THE WINDSOR AFFAIR being held? - **A:** Doylestown: Melanie Benjamin // THE WINDSOR AFFAIR takes place on Wed, 18 Nov, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 18 Nov, 2026 at 08:30 pm at The Doylestown Bookshop, 16 S Main St, Doylestown, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Doylestown: Melanie Benjamin // THE WINDSOR AFFAIR? - **A:** Doylestown: Melanie Benjamin // THE WINDSOR AFFAIR is organized by The Doylestown Bookshop. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at The Doylestown Bookshop's events? - **A:** Attendees have given The Doylestown Bookshop a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
