Interesting piece for reference and research

This is from the Spectator apparently. Interesting.

I am surprised to see something as hard-headed as this turn up in the right wing Spectator, while the left wing Guardian is being oddly conciliatory. Personally I think the greatest result from all this could be the opening of the private archives. The insights into another world would be utterly priceless.

There are degrees of cultural appropriation. It depends on whose culture is being appropriated and how. Sometimes I see cultural appropriation where others don't see it - such as at the Chinese-themed Met gala.

I make no excuses for Edward VIII. He was a total scuzzball.
