When the world's press published photographs of the Duhess of York in various compromising poses with her 'financial adviser', John Bryan, her royal career was finished. But the affair with Bryan was only just beginning. Bryan, a modestly well-off American who convinced people, Fergie among them, that he was vastly wealthy, and the Duchess, who wanted to shrug off the responisibilites of royalty but hoped to take the prestige and bankability of the Windsors with her, embarked upon a roller coaster ride of fast living which left Bryan bankrupt and Fergie with a world-famous overdraft. As Bryan's friend and business partner, Allan Starkie, was drawn into this relationship, first as a stand-in for Bryan who, for most of the four-year relationship, could not be seen publicly with the Duchess, then as her unpaid business manager and, eventually, to use her own words, as her 'dearest friend and brother'.Although Bryan and Fergie carried out their affair on the front pages of the tabloids, Starkie's book reveals just how little we really knew of what was going on behind closed doors and how their affair ebbed and flowed and finally swept all away. Starkie's story is a tragedy on a grand scale which encompasses the humiliation of the House of Windsor, the crushing of two all too voracious lovers and Starkie's own undoing.
