The Duchess of Bragança attended the launch of Charles Philippe d'Orléans book "Reis no exílio" - Kings in exile.
It deals with all the royal families who moved to Portugal, during and after WW2 such as the Savoys, Orléans, Bourbons, Bulgaria, Roumania and Hungarian Regent Admiral Horthy.
There is a chapter on the turbulent visit paid by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor shortly before the war, when Hitler planned to kidnap the king and take him to Germany to use him as a puppet monarch when the invasion would succeed.
Plenty of photos, many of them from the personal archives of the people described in the book.
According to C-Ph the main source was his grand-mother the late Countess of Paris who told him endless stories about that period she so intensely lived.
Back to the Duchess of Bragança, she made the launching speech:
