On this week's episode of The Royal Beat: Back in Time, we look at the Duke and Duchess of Windsor through a new lens, as we explore their love of all things opulent and expensive - especially jewels. But where exactly did their enviable collection of precious stones come from? Did the Duke - as King Edward VIII - take them from the royal collection to give to Wallis Simpson? How did so many come to be stolen in a house robbery in 1946? And where did their incredible gems end up after their deaths? Kate Thornton examines these questions and many more along with Richard Wallace - author of new book ‘The King’s Loot: The Greatest Royal Jewellery Heist in History’, as well as biographer and author of 'That Woman', Anne Sebba, and Managing Director and Co-Founder of Europe's largest online diamond retailer, 77 Diamonds - Tobias Kormind.
