Thelma Furness : From King’s Lover to Truman Capote’s Punchline

For a few glittering years, she was the secret queen of England, the woman at the side of the future King Edward VIII. And then, almost overnight, she was locked out of history. Her name was Thelma, Viscountess Furness. She had it all: the title, the glamour, and the heart of the world’s most eligible bachelor. So how did she lose it all? This is the story of the party of the century, a fateful family crisis, and a single, naive request to a friend that changed the course of the British monarchy forever. Truman Capote said her life was proof that ""sometimes history is just a party to which you are not invited."" But what happens when you were invited, and then suddenly cast out? This is the poignant, cautionary tale of the woman who held the door open for Wallis Simpson and, in doing so, was pushed out into the cold. #ThelmaFurness #EdwardVIII #WallisSimpson #AbdicationCrisis #RoyalMistress #BritishRoyalty #Vanderbilt #TrumanCapote #JazzAge #ForgottenHistory
