In December 1940, as war raged in Europe and Britain battled Hitler in lonely isolation, American journalist Fulton Oursler received an unexpected summons to the Bahamas. He had been invited to conduct a rare interview with the islands’ governor, the former King Edward VIII, officially known since his abdication four years earlier as His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor.

As an officer in the British Army as well as a dignitary of the British Empire and brother of King George VI, the Duke might have been expected to fly the flag for his embattled country. Instead he gave Oursler a eulogy to Hitler. The former British monarch told the journalist it would be tragic for the world if the Nazi dictator were overthrown. Hitler was not just the right and logical leader of the German people, the Duke insisted, he was also a great man.
As Oursler tried to grasp the enormity of what he was hearing the Duke asked him: “Do you suppose that your President would consider intervening as a mediator when and if the proper time arrives?”
The American understood that he was being asked to carry a message to President Roosevelt, with whom he was on good terms, but he was not certain what it was. As he was leaving the Duke’s aide-de-camp spelt it out. He instructed Oursler: “Tell Mr Roosevelt that if he will make an offer of intervention for peace, that before anyone in England can oppose it, the Duke of Windsor will instantly issue a statement supporting it and that will start a revolution in England and force peace.”

Now declassified US intelligence also confirms that when the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were staying in Florida in 1941 that the Duchess was passing secrets to a leading Nazi, Joachim von Ribbentrop, who was the German ambassador to Britain in 1936. Apparently, Wallis Simpson was having an affair with von Ribbentrop at the same time she was involved with Edward VIII, and the King's decision to abdicate was based on Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's unwillingness to accept Mrs. Simpson as his consort because of her support of the Nazi regime--not because she was a thrice-divorced American socialite with a dubious reputation. How complicit Edward VIII was in his support of the Nazis is debatable, even though more than a few aristocrats in 1930s Britain did support many of the goals of the National Socialists, and Edward VIII felt a natural affinity to his German roots.

There is no mention of Freemasonry in the Oscar-winning film about King George VI. The King’s Speech has been critically acclaimed as one of the finest motion pictures of recent years and has renewed the public’s interest in, and affection for, King George VI, who reigned from 1936 to 1952.
The film, which chronicles the constitutional crisis created by Edward VIII’s abdication and George’s struggle to overcome his pronounced stammer, focuses on the moving relationship between the King and speech therapist Lionel Logue, which had such a happy ending.
What the film does not mention, however, is that both men were members of the Craft; or that the King believed Freemasonry had also helped him overcome his disability – which rarely surfaced whenever he performed masonic ritual. Logue, who had been the Master of St George’s Lodge, Western Australia, was also speech therapist to the Royal Masonic School.
King George's Love of Freemasonry
Following service with the Royal Navy in the First World War, he was initiated in December 1919 into Navy Lodge, No. 2612, of which his grandfather King Edward VII had been founding Master. On that occasion he noted: ‘I have always wished to become a Freemason, but owing to the war I have had no opportunity before this of joining the Craft’. From that moment he became a most dedicated and active Freemason. He was invested as Duke of York in 1920 and the following year installed as permanent Master of Navy Lodge. He joined other lodges and degrees and was appointed Senior Grand Warden of the United Grand Lodge in 1923.
George V died in January 1936 and was succeeded by his eldest son Edward, who had been initiated (also in 1919) into the Household Brigade Lodge, No. 2614. But before the year was out Edward had abdicated. Of the moment of change King George VI wrote, ‘On entering the room I bowed to him as King… when [he] and I said goodbye, parted as Freemasons and he bowed to me as his King.’
Protocol required George to resign his masonic affiliations, however when it was suggested a new position of Past Grand Master be created especially for him, he immediately accepted, declaring, ‘Today the pinnacle of my masonic life has been reached.’
The Victory Stamps
After the Second World War, King George wrote that ‘Freemasonry has been one of the strongest influences on my life’ and in collaboration with engraver Reynolds Stone helped create a postage stamp, part of the ‘1946 Victory Issue,’ which is filled with masonic symbolism.
The 3d Victory Stamp was widely praised for the ‘strength and simplicity of the design’. It depicts the King’s head in the East, his eyes firmly fixed on illustrations of a dove carrying an olive branch (representing peace and guidance), the square and compasses (in the second degree configuration) and a trowel and bricks (the sign of a Master spreading the cement that binds mankind in brotherly love).
On the stamp the images appear in white, the colour of purity, out of purple, the color of divinity. the three coupled illustrations are surrounded by a scrolled ribbon made up of five figure threes – sacred numbers in Freemasonry – and was the unusual positioning of the wording meant to represent two great pillars? By its name and intention, the stamp proclaimed victory over evil, yet by its appearance it expressed compassion and hope.
King George VI once stated, ‘ the world today does require spiritual and moral regeneration. I have no doubt, after many years as a member of our Order, that Freemasonry can play a most important part in this vital need.’
The Victory Stamp captured those words in a graphic representation that also expressed the King’s belief that the building of a new and better world could best be achieved by adhering to the principles of the square and compasses.
Maintaining Values
He reinforced those thoughts in 1948 in an address he gave to Grand Lodge: ‘I believe that a determination to maintain the values which have been the rock upon which the masonic structure has stood firm against the storms of the past is the only policy which can be pursued in the future. I think that warning needs emphasizing today, when men, sometimes swayed by sentimentality or an indiscriminate tolerance, are apt to overlook the lessons of the past. I cannot better impress this upon you than by quoting from the book on which we have all taken our masonic obligations: “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set".

I am a 'Lewis' (the son of a Freemason) and was initiated a Freemason.
Volumes have been written about the 'satanic deeds' of the Brotherhood.
Many debunkers have made good money out of the debunking.
I'm sure you know that the Brotherhood exists not only in the West.
It is spread all over the world, irrespective of race, colour, religion and language.
In fact, in all masonic temples three subjects are banned:
religion, politics and women.
The Architect of the Universe is revered.
Every Freemason (no matter what his personal belief, his background or his ethnicity)
has to accept that basic tenet.
In the temple we are all 'on the level' and all 'on the square'.
An admiral might be the Warden and the Master could well be a Sergeant Major.
When the British ruled India Kipling was initiated in Lahore.
He was shocked that the man who initiated him was an Indian.
Incidentally, the great charity work of the Freemasons has not yet been written about.
We are not expected to advertise our 'good works'.
The Royal College of Surgeons (Britain's premier medical institution) was founded by Freemasons.
Â
I have little respect for Edward VIII. He was a crypto-fascist and a great admirer of Hitler.
He and his loose wife Wallace did salute Hitler.
But his brother George the Good was a different man. When London was being bombed he was advised
to fly to Canada with his wife and daughters. He and his wife Elizabeth refused.
George VI was King of Canada (as today his daughter is the Sovereign Queen of Canada) and could easily have flown out.
But he and Elizabeth refused point blank to leave London that was being mercilessly bombed by German aircraft.
George VI, the last Emperor of India, recognized the sterling Brotherhood of Freemasons. As I still do now.
Kindest regards,
~
FRSA and Freeman of the City of London |
