The Duke & Duchess of Windsor Society
The organization has been in existence for over two decades. And during that time members have never had a formal
get-together. That will change when the first conference since the organization began will be held in October 10-12, 2008
in San Diego. This will, hopefully, be the inaugural event of future conferences to be held in many of the Windsors’ haunts
around the world (Washington DC, New York, Nassau Bahamas, London/UK, Paris/France, Queen Mary2).
