I skimmed a lot, as I already knew quite a bit about Prince Edward. This is a story of repulsive, spoiled people whose lives revolve around money and status and their own needs. I thought Marguerite Meller, a woman from a poor background doing her best to use her looks and large personality to land man with lots of money, was somewhat interesting. She certainly knew how to party, and how to hook and reel in a man. Women in those times had few other options. All in all though, I found the constant fights, blackmail, drinking, debauchery, and self-pity boring. I didn't give a damn about any one of them.
