After the Duke of Windsor's death in 1972, his widow Wallis withdrew from public life. In 1980, The Sunday Times commissioned a report with a new photograph of the Duchess and a text by Caroline Blackwood. However, Wallis was under the legal guardianship of Suzanne Blum, which prevented the publication of the report. Fifteen years later, Blackwood published her version of the events in 'Last News from the Duchess' (1995), a demystification of the couple who were a romantic icon of the 20th century. This book is ideal for journalists, as it shows the making of an impossible report.
Lady Caroline Maureen Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, known as Caroline Blackwood, was an English writer, socialite, and muse. Her novels have been praised for their wit and intelligence. One of her works is an autobiography, which detailed her wealthy but unhappy childhood. She was born into an aristocratic British family, the eldest child of the 4th Marquess of Dufferin and Ava and of Maureen Constance Guinness. Her husbands were accomplished figures in their own fields.
