Curiosity: Between Edwina and Dickie, problems started already during honeymoon. While Edwina was the one wanting to go to adventure,Dickie liked to have everything planned. Edwina rejected Dickie's plans for hotels. They will have found smth once there,randomly, she said. After a night having (non) slept in streets because they found not even an available bedroom, Edwina finally let Dickie to organise the trip like he wanted.

Edwina Mountbatten is said to have been the first non royal woman to know about a secret of state,such as the Hiroshima bomb which was about to happen. The secret was revealed by Dickie Mountbatten himself who,even not being intimate with her anymore in their marriage and conducting a separate life, still trusted her deeply. According to the biographer, only him,the King (Bertie at the time) and few ones knew. "There was no secret for Edwina." He commented later,when this particular was revealed. Same long tongue as his bestfriend David Duke of Windsor, I would say... #lordmountbatten #louismountbatten #dickiemountbatten #edwinamountbatten #edwardviii #davidprinceofwales #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/dandyroyals/p/CRIzaMgFw0m/?utm_medium=tumblr

Did you know that Edwina Ashley (aka Mountbatten) was named after Edward VII? His grandpa Cassel was his right arm and a very close friend of the monarch,so much that after Edward's death,he retired because "not interested in the new King". To every King a bestfriend...and Edwina will marry Dickie, bestfriend of David, who is Edward VII's grandson... I know...🤯 #edwinamountbatten #dickiemountbatten #edwardvii #edwardviii #davidprinceofwales #dukeofwindsor #DandyRoyalsClub https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ5tDuEnla0/?utm_medium=tumblr
