*Edward VIII (1894-1972, King of the United Kingdom). Autograph letter signed, 'David', H.M.S. Renown, Portsmouth, 5 August 1919 (4.30 pm), to his mistress Freda Dudley Ward, in bold pencil, in full: 'Darling, darling sweetheart, my family have just left and I'm scribbling this little note before we sail!! Bless you for your sweet little letter which I've just opened and read and all the divine marvellous things you say to your little boy darling. God! I'm miserable beloved one waiting till we sail at 6.00. It will be better once we shove off and get out to sea. I wanted to give Bertie [his brother, later King George VI] a tiny note for you angel but never got a chance to write a word; I've asked him to ring you up when he gets back to London and perhaps you will see him a moment so that he can give you my love and news of me!! My very own darling precious beloved little Fredie I did feel such a brute coming round this morning after all you said and when I knew you didn't want me to. But sweetheart I just couldn't keep away; pleath [sic] try to forgive me and not be too angwy [sic] and I feel happier having seen your darling sacred little self since last night when I was in such rotten form and so foul to you angel!! God!! how I love you love you darling darling sweetheart madly and desparately [sic] and I'm merely living for my return to YOU; this trip will only be an existence tho' I'm going to work so so hard darling to try to make it a success and I shall be so busy that I think the time will go quickly!! I'll write a little bit every day and post letters whenever I can do to 1, Cumberland Terrace and you'll always write to St James' Palace wont [sic] you baby mine? No time for more as last orderly leaves ship with letters at 5.00 and I do so want you to get this to-morrow morning!! Au revoir petite chérie adorée à moi and bless you bless you for ever for all your marvellous divine sweetness to your v.v. [very very] own devoted petit amoureux, your David', with a cramped PS written vertically underneath the signature across the page at head of the first page, 'You [I] will be thinking of you every second Fredie darling darling till we meet again. How I love you love you for having cried so much sweetheart it was divine of you to feel like that and God I feel like howling just now', four pages on HMS Renown letterhead, light creasing, with original stamped and postmarked envelope (5 August, 7.30pm) addressed in ink in the Prince of Wales's holograph to 'Mrs W. Dudley Ward, 38, Cambridge Street, Edgeware [sic] Road, London W.', wax seal to verso, the two items presented centrally in a double-sided window-mount with two related reproduction illustrations, overall 37 x 70cm A passionate and revealing letter from the besotted Prince of Wales to his mistress Freda Dudley Ward (1894-1983), Marquesa de Casa Maury. Freda had married the Rt. Hon. William Dudley Ward, Liberal MP for Southampton, in 1913, but the ensuing relationship between the Prince of Wales and the married Ward became common knowledge, and not just in aristocratic circles. Winston Churchill observed in 1927, after travelling with them on a train, 'It is quite pathetic to see the Prince and Freda. His love is so obvious and undisguisable'. Freda remained a close confidante of Edward's until 1934 when his relationship with Wallis Simpson began. The prince wrote hundreds of letters to Freda, most of which were thought lost or destroyed but in 1996 Rupert Godfrey by chance discovered a group of 262 letters written by Edward to Freda, and published many of these in his book, Letters from a Prince (Little, Brown, 1998). Edward's relationship with Freda is explored in a recently published book, Rachel Trethewey, Before Wallis: Edward VIII's Other Women, (Stroud: The History Press, 2018), a copy of which is included with this lot.
