What ‘The Crown’ Got Wrong: The Duke of Windsor’s (Not So) Secret Nazi History

Listen, I want to talk about The Crown, but first, a few words about the 20th century. The 20th century was a monster, yes it was, what with the O.J. trial, and Star Trek and John Lennon getting shot, and of course the Beatles, and Bret Easton Ellis, and Sex in the City—and that band Chicago happened in the 20th century, too! Oh, and Jim Carrey and that whole “Alrighty then!” thing! What a century! Did I mention OK Computer? Yeah, 20th century!
