I was over at Glittering Royal Events and they had quite a discussion about it. The web address I had was www.members3.boardhost.com/Warholm/msg/1163855771.html
They were expecting ITV to do a program about the whole old story of how Elizabeth married Bertie (and seemed to have a crush on David), the ill-will between Elizabeth and Wallis, etc. The Daily Mail is the one that ran the article on November 18. Since I'm over here, I don't know much about The Daily Mail so I can't judge the likelihood of it being a well-researched story.
I do know about GVI's temper tantrums and the allegations that he had an alcohol problem... but my gut instinct is that Elizabeth didn't suffer from a lack of confidence or intimidation, and I think she would have left her husband had she felt mistreated. I think she was raised in such an aristocratic family that, like Diana, she would not have been overawed by the Windsors. (And yes, my impression has always been that she was the stronger personality in that couple.)
