...recent years, the auction business (led, in this regard, by Sotheby's) has shown wonderful ingenuity at such stratagems. There was, for instance, the sale in Switzerland in 1987 of the Duchess of Windsor's jewelry at which the rich of several nations paid five, 10, 20 times their value for baubles once owned by that calcified drone of a woman, merely because another drone had resigned the crown of England to marry her 50 years before.

Like all children of divorce, William Windsor has been both the battle's fulcrum and its victim.

The good that she did, the professionalism with which she carried herself in the public eye would overwhelm any trouble she may have been at home. They didn't realize what an incredible superstar they had.
