DUKE OF WINDSOR
A VISITOR’S IMPRESSIONS. (Australian Press Association). FREMANTLE, September 14. The passengers aboard the liner “Ormonde,” which arrived here from London to-day, included Colonel Llewellyn Partridge, D. 5.0., who has been A.D.C. to the last three British Monarehs.
In an interview, Colonel Partridge, who is on his way to New Zealand, said: “Edward experienced trouble from the beginning of his reign. I saw him at his father’s funeral. After that, he never smiled again, excepting during the period of his tour ot Wales among the working people there. Again, lie was Prince Charming.
“Through all of his problems, I was profoundly sorry for him. His'extraordinary, personality captured the imagination of the common people of England. In fact, he still holds it!
“His one idea was that of a quiet life. He wanted to be unknown, and to live his own life.”
Colonel Partridge added that the present King has raised the prestige of the Royal Family higher than ever.
