Documents relating to Edward VIII's ill-advised trip to Nazi Germany in 1937 have come to light.
The archive includes a letter from the Nazi high command discussing arrangements for the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson's controversial visit.
The Nazis rolled out the red carpet for the Royal couple and the itinerary included a private meeting with Adolf Hitler at his retreat at Berchtesgaden.
The Duke of Windsor declared the Nazi economic model to be a 'miracle' and was infamously photographed giving Nazi salutes on the trip.
