One man's role in the Abdication of Edward VIII has been secret ever since the crisis over his love for Mrs Simpson unfolded in December 1936. Described by those in the know as "a leader of Black Magic in England', he had been treating Edward for alcohol problems. The discovery that the King had secretly turned to Dr Alexander Cannon was the point of no return for the religious leaders and politicians around King Edward. He had to go. Recently uncovered documents and tape recordings show that not only was there a "plot" hatched to oust Edward, but that fascist Black Shirt supporters claimed they too were aware of a conspiracy involving Dr Cannon and the "King Watchers" - and they tried to stop it. So who was "Sir" Dr Alexander Cannon? And why was he later allowed to set up a clinic for battle-weary top brass military during the Second World War - despite being suspected of spying? Using additional MI5 and police documents, this is the story of the hypnotist, the King, and the clinic attended by the rich and famous who went for Cannon's special brand of treatment - and the odd sexual tryst...

Book Description:
The true story of an occultist doctor’s role in Edward VIII’s abdication and his influence over British high command during World War II

One man’s amazing role in the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII has remained secret – until now. Dr Alexander Cannon was a ‘master of black magic in England’ who was described as enjoying a powerful hold over the psychologically-ailing King Edward.

Dr Cannon’s sphere of influence extended at the start of World  War II to include military top brass. During his many investigations into the paranormal, he played cupid in what must have been the war’s most bizarre top secret experiment, bringing together a naval commander and the doctor’s ‘psychic’ assistant – all in the name of the war effort.
But was Cannon a spy, getting high-ranking patients to disclose military secrets under hypnosis? The more MI5 agents spied on him, the more they became deeply alarmed.
Prize-winning Journalist Sean Stowell pieces together The King’s Psychic using MI5 files, archives, journals and obscure history books to tell a hidden story about a significant part of Britain’s history.

“The most intriguing book I have read. It is masterful and I couldn’t put it down. It is mystic and brilliantly written.”
Brian Blessed
