    Chapter 19
     
    The exact date of the luncheon meeting remains something of a mystery. Michael Thornton places it two days after the King’s return from Wales, on November 21. This date is also what Beaverbrook himself recalled. Michael Bloch, who had access to unpublished documents in the Windsor Archive in Paris, suggests that it occurred on November 18 or 19. Chips Channon wrote about the luncheon in his diary on November 23 and reported that it had taken place a few days earlier. Wallis herself declared in her memoirs that the meeting had taken place on November 19, the same day on which the King returned, and there seems little reason to question her memory in this respect.

    As is the present duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, consort of Queen Elizabeth II.
    Incidentally, Mary became a Royal Highness not through the issuance of special letters patent, but through accepted custom on her marriage. Such, however, would not be the case when Wallis married David.
