Descrizione:

Frank Giles, the Times of London correspondent in Paris in the 1950s, was invited to dinner: “It was a large dinner party, rather unsavory characters . . . sort of blue rinse American widows and jet-setting Europeans and hangers-on. I thought the atmosphere was not very nice. But a very good dinner.” Giles recalled the duke discussing Prime Minister Anthony Eden as “ ‘a bad man, a hopeless man . . . he helped precipitate the war through his treatment of Mussolini . . . that’s what he did, he helped to bring on the war . . . pause . . . and of course Roosevelt and the Jews. . . .’ When he was not making remarks about the Jews he could be charming.”
