1. Francis St. Clair-Erskine, Lord Loughborough
" . . . Soon after his ]Edward VIII] departure for Australasia King George and his advisers decided that the relationship must be terminated. The first step was to detach Edward's brother Prince Albert from his mistress, Sheila, Lady Loughborough. The couple had made a foursome with Edward and Freda the previous year as 'the 4 Do's", and Sheila was a close friend of Freda's. The King promised to make Albert duke of York on condition he gave up his mistress, which the compliant Bertie duly did. Albert was then dispatched to persuade Freda to break off the relationship with Edward by letter, presumably on the rather callous assumption that Edward would have time to recover during his long tour. . . ." (King Edward VIII: An American Life: 73)
