ROYALTY. Two fine linen handkerchiefs with embroidered entwined initials 'E.P.', together with a card inscribed 'With Best wishes from Edward P' and printed 'The Prince of Wales'. Provenance: Sir Albert George Allen (1888-1956) and thence by descent. Note: Sir Albert George Allen was the Duke of Windsor's solicitor during the period of the abdication. Allen was educated at North Malvern School. During the war he served as captain and Brigade Major. He was twice mentioned in despatches and was awarded the D.S.O. and the Military Cross. In 1930 he jointly founded the law firm Allen and Overy. He was nicknamed 'Poker Face' by the then King Edward VIII as they worked together through the political upheaval resulting from his decision to marry Wallis Simpson.
