With information from surviving contemporaries,ĭancing with the Devil is the extraordinary tale of three remarkable people and their unique and twisted relationship. As Jimmy had planned, the royal couple became obsessed with him. Together with the Duke, they became an inseparable trio, the closest of friends. A burgeoning sexual relationship – a perverse sort of love – was formed between Jimmy and the Duchess. The Duchess was fifty-four, and despite the difference in age, there was an instant attraction.

He was thirty-five when he was befriended by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in 1950. Though press agents arranged for him to be seen with female escorts, his pursuits, until he met the Duchess of Windsor, were exclusively homosexual. Gay at a time when the homosexual act was still illegal, Jimmy was notorious within America’s upper class, and loved to shock.

Instead, he set about carving for himself a career of mischief. Woolworth, Jimmy knew he would never need to work. People loved him for his wit, charm and personality. He could fly a plane, speak several languages, play the piano, and tell marvelous jokes. Very few people suspected, and even fewer actually knew, that the Duchess cuckolded him-and almost gave him up-for a gay playboy twenty years her junior.īlond and slender, Jimmy Donahue was the archetypal post-war playboy. The story of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor is one of the most romantic of all time: Edward VIII abdicated his throne and gave up an empire so that he could marry the woman he loved, American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
