SIR WALFORD SELBY
AND THE DUKE
Stockholm, To-day.
A sensational allega- tion is made by a Stock- holm newspaper in con- nection with the transfer from Vienna of the Bri- tish Minister, Sir Wal- ford Selby.
Sir Walford has been ap-. pointed Ambassador at Lisbon, being succeeded by Mr. Charles Palariat, Minister at Stockholm.
This is no ordinary diploma- tic change, the paper alleges, but has been brought about through Sir Walford Selby's close friendship with the Duke of Windsor.
Lady Selby was one of the of- ficial guests at wedding of
the Duke and Miss Wallis Warfield, and the couple's residence in Austria has led to removal of the Minister to another post.
