Bertie and Elizabeth (2002 TV Movie)
1/10
Superficial
31 January 2015
Not a very realistic view of times or of the circumstances of the Abdication. Almost everything of the times are misrepresented most notable the fashions. The most notable fashion error is in showing Prince Edward, Prince of Wales, wearing bow ties. The Prince, and later King then Duke of Windsor, loathed wearing bow ties. He preferred long ties and there is even is special knot that he devised for it (the Windsor knot). Yet, every scene in which the Prince is in shows him wearing he loathed bow tie.

This is merely one very superficial example of the historical errors in this presentation. It is a superficial criticism of a very superficial production. I suppose it is better than saying that it is a lie.
