55. Wallis's family is immensely secretive. There had been
countless attempts on her life as well as that of her daughter. Her family resisted publishing the full story since her death in 1986 for mainly security/legal/UK constitutional reasons.

The Trumans are immensely wealthy and have gone to extraordinary lengths to protect their anonimity. A lot of their family legal business is protected by the UK Official Secrets Act.

The medical documents in the forthcoming Wallis biog go into all the surrogacy stuff in detail. I believe this was also because the surrogate mother made it a condition of the pregnancy not to be named until a safe period of time had elapsed after her own death. The doctors involved also stipulated similar secrecy clauses.

I am unable to quote verbatim because anyone who has worked on the editorial has had to sign draconian confidentiality contracts. But I will post when the pre-publicity blurb is released and the website up and running.
