The Royal Governor.....and The Duchess: The Duke and Duchess of Windsor in The Bahamas 1940-1945At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the British government, alarmed at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's association with the Nazis and the possibility that they would remove themselves to the United States to preach their pacifist (and slightly pro German) credo, decided that a job had to be found for the ex King Edward VIII. and his wife, the American, Wallis Simpson.

At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the British government, alarmed at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's association with the Nazis and the possibility that they would remove themselves to the United States to preach their pacifist (and slightly pro-German) credo, decided that a job had to be found for the ex-King Edward VIII. and his wife, the American, Wallis Simpson. He was appointed Governor of The Bahamas, one of the smallest and least important possessions of the British Empire, far away from the scene of battle.

Away from their sybaritic living in the south of France, the couple struggled unhappily with the very different lifestyle of minor colonial life. This story is of their successes and their failures during their last official service to The British--and of the only Royal Governor to have served in British colonial history.

El traje se lo compré a mi hijo, dude en comprarlo por internet ya que el tiene 16 años es alto y de complexión robusto, el traje viene de tres piezas el bordado del saco es muy bonito la calidad de la tela es muy buena y resistente viene de acuerdo a la talla, no llega ni muy reducido la talla ni muy grande, solo el pantalón viene sin costura para que lo pongas al largo que tú quieres

Suit looks great for fun formal events
Size: X-Large, Color: Green
The style and fit are great. I did notice a white thread in the shoulder poking out. I used a marker to darken it so it was not noticeable but other than that this suit really looks great. We have a music event in a couple of weeks that I am wearing this to and think it will delight as a sharp but different. I was also happy that it did not require alterations, sleeve length was on spot and everything fit great (XL) also this is a slim fit but I am not that slim and it fit nicely on me. As long as it doesn't disintegrate during the event I will consider this money well spent.
