One of Edward VIII 's biographers stated that the Duke looked away whenever he came across something that he disliked .
331–332 In Germany , `` they were treated like royalty ... members of the aristocracy would bow and curtsy towards her , and she was treated with all the dignity and status that the duke always wanted , '' according to royal biographer Andrew Morton quoted by the BBC.  During the visit , the Duke `` closed his eyes to much of what he did not want to see '' , according to one of his biographers .
