Before the Establishment gave us the Russia Dossier there was the China Dossier












In case video breaks, clip from "Royal Wives at War"






Narrator: Elizabeth and leading members of the establishment were mystified by Wallis's power over David.  Salacious rumors began to spread about her past  

Andrew Morton :  Wallis was surrounded by a sexual mythology.  There was the China dossier which said that she worked in brothels in Shanghai  and Peking.  THere was the fact that von Ribbentrop, the German Ambassador, apparently giving her seventeen carnations boquets which showed the number of times they had sex together

Anne Sebba :  I think that the point   about the China dossier and why people believed in it was possibly Prime Minister Baldwin wanted to find some reason why David couldn't marry Wallis. So they did all their digging and their homework and that's how the rumors ...

Lady Colin Campbell : Yes, it was a smear  campaign 

Anne Sebba :  Well they thought they would find what was Wallis's sexual techniques. You know, the Baltimore grip, the China clench, the Shanghai squeeze...

Lady Colin Campbell  : All of this is utter balderdash 

Andrew Morton :   The point about this is this is what the Establishment believed 


Lady Colin Campbell : Not all of them

Andrew Morton :  They based their decision making on on the fact that they believed that Wallis was one step above  a prostitute so they were seen as toxic

Anne Sebba :  Not to be trusted
