    What do you think about the story of Wallis Simpson?

      I think that she was a very sad, lonely, and manipulative woman. She wanted what she couldn't have, until she got it, and then she no longer wanted it. She most definitely was involved with the Reich, and Edward was a dupe in the political game.

      @@catherinejennings6246 do you think, because it was fashionable in those days, that Wallis wanted to be a mistress to Edward and not his wife. But like Meghan Markle, she also wanted to the Queen consort.

      This is all just rumors. The Government wanted him out and she provided them a reason. Unlike the narcissistic Meghan and weak Harry.

    It does appear that American women do not seem to do too well, as senior members of the British Royal family....!!

      There was only one. It was not because Simpson was American. It was because she was a divorcee. Honestly, she many mistakes here

    Sounds as though Harry & Meghan are following in their footsteps. I will be shocked if Harry returns to Britain after his grandmother passes.

    If this story is true, their marriage and relationship was very sad and sometimes cruel.

    During their engagement, the Duke wrote to Wallace:
    My friend, with thee to live alone
    Methinks ‘twere better than to own
    A crown, a scepter, and a throne.”

    I don't think she experienced much happiness in her life. Her first two marriages were marred by drunken abuse and I suspect that she married "David" because she sensed he was too weak and insipid, as well as besotted to ever be violent towards her. Sadly, he was full as dishwater and probably not especially good in the boudoir.

    • @aprilgrant1957
      @aprilgrant1957 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      She actually loved her 2nd husband and did not want to divorce him. She corresponded with him even after she married David. She tried desperately to get away from David but he was disturbingly obsessed with her.

    Wallis has a similarity with Meghan, marry a guy who they don't actually love.

      I read her book at the tender age of 8. I revisit it still on nights such as these. I can in some way feel her confusion and the misunderstanding she received. She was highly intelligent soul whom I think wasn't given the chance she deserved.

    She was actually born male, but had androgen insensitivity syndrome, meaning the body didn't respond to the testosterone, so the penis and testicle didn't develop, so she was raised female.

    Where would the world be today if he hadnt abdicated, if it not for Churchill, Roosevelt , and the other leaders god made sure were in place so that now we all dont speak German.

    From everything I’ve read, after their wedding, the Duke and Duchess were not “banished” from England, but because the royal family had stopped communicating with them, and the icy mood of the country, the Duke CHOSE to never return to his home country.

    They were both treacherous, awful people. I would recommend Andrew Lownie's excellent book "Traitor King" if you would like to know the truth about them and their "fairy tale" love story.

    There was a rumor about "her", some doubt that if she was actually a woman, they even asked for an exam

    You all can say what you want, but they were married for 35 years until Edward's death. This is significantly more than the average marriage today.
    But haters want to hate and will always find a fly in the ointment, even if it is one of their own.
