Mountbatten

Mountbatten accompanied Edward, then Prince of Wales, on a 1922 royal tour of India, and the pair emerged as great chums. No doubt Mountbatten first visited Burgh Island with Edward, although relations with Wallis Simpson were frosty and their friendship hit a low during the abdication crisis in 1936. Siding as always with the royals, Louis chummed up with Prince Albert, the Duke of York, later George VI.
