Did anyone watch the Masterpiece Theatre telefilm (on PBS in the USA) Bertie & Elizabeth about the George VI and Queen Mum's marriage? In it, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (espically the Duchess) are portrayed very negatively. Russell Baker (host) acklowedged it at the end of the program. He said the British viewed them as selfish people who put personal pleasure before duty, whereas Americans see it as poignant story of star-crossed lovers. Any thoughts?
