Quotes 

• Queen Elizabeth II : I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country. I was keen to help you and, weighing it all up... the amount of time that has passed and my affection for you, personally, all spoke in its favor.

  David, Duke of Windsor : But?

  Queen Elizabeth II : But, on balance... I think not. And I'm sure you don't need reminding that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication, you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom only at the pleasure and invitation of the sovereign.

  David, Duke of Windsor : Yes?

  Queen Elizabeth II : I find myself unable to grant that permission.

• David, Duke of Windsor : Ah, there you are? Plotters all!

  [guests chuckle] 

  Guests : Your Royal Highness.

  David, Duke of Windsor : Are the curtains drawn? Does treason abound?

  [laughter]
