Why did Compton Mackenzie abandon his plans to write a book about Edward?

Compton Mackenzie abandoned his plans to write a book about Edward because the Duke asked him not to publish. Between 1913 and 1920 he lived with his wife, Faith, on Capri at Villa Solitaria, and returned to visit in later years. This Italian island near Sorrento was known to be tolerant not just of foreigners in general, but of artists and homosexuals in particular.
