Finally, a documentary that is somewhat empathetic to the Duchess Of Windsor. The Prince of Wales did not want to be king. He would have made for a terrible king had he stayed on the throne. The Prince of Wales did not like formality and the rigidness of court life. Wallis Simpson begged him not to abdicate. She thought he would grow tired of her, soon enough, and move on to another married woman. People need to peel back the multiple layers and realize his Kingship was doomed whether there was a Wallis Simpson or not.
Exactly! It's lazy and dishonest to blame Wallis for David's weakness as king. His own father (King George V) said he'd make a mess of it within a year!
He had his charms, and treated her well, but it worked out better to have Bertie on the throne, then Elizabeth, who's phenomenal.
You paid attention
Even Cosmo Lang was concerned because of Edward’s leaning towards fascism
David Windsor made a mistake when he abdicated.
Those in direct succession cannot go into combat. His quitting meant that by an accident of history, we had, with his younger brother, an actual combat veteran on the throne for the Second World War. Best thing in the world when he abdicated.
Amen to that! King George VI is my favorite King; I have the same speech impediment and seeing how brave he was with that, and how even though he felt he was in a position he wasn’t destined for, he led his country through the biggest war inspires me.
May he rest peacefully! Thank God for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II ❤️
Edward the VIII would have made a good Ambassador for trade but he didn’t have the motivation or strength of character to be King in my humble opinion. He was extremely lucky to be born Prince of Wales.
@@karendalsadik7119 He wasn't born Prince of Wales. The title Prince of Wales is bestowed on the heir to the throne by the monarch - his father King George V.
@@angelathompson4298 true, in fact, His father and then him,Are thee real Royals . Hard to believe ,how much people hide what they don't want others to see or here
Absolutely and thanks to his personality and lack of honour we have our dear Queen, Charles and the fabulous William, Catherine and their beautiful children 🇬🇧
He finds what he really loves : his fortune and zero royal duties. Nothing glorious of this combination, bless England got an excellent queen as a result of his abdication.
Harry is a lot , a lot like David. Letting a woman come in and turned him away from his family! David always had a lot of money, and not royal duties, this is exactly what Harry and Meg wanted to be like! Except David and Wallis were a better example of people, didn’t run their mouth like Harry and you know!
@@ashleykane4951, David was a Cancerian like Diana and Prince William. Harry is not at all like David. Harry will never be King, he has the freedom to make his own choices and to do what he likes.
@@bonniemagpie5166 Harry is a Virgo with a Taurus moon.
Fun fact! David was infertile anyway, so Elizabeth would have been queen no matter what!
@@ashleykane4951 Uhhh, David and Wallis were raging Anti-Semites who socialized with Nazis. Not more elegant or classy
that was the best thing. Edward wasn't going to be a good King. Wallis just added to it. between consorting with Hitler, and just not having a clue as to the problems of the British people. did he love her? of course. I am not sure about HER. I think she would have been fine staying a mistress. JMHO. the Church stepping in, and saying "she's a divorced woman"....same thing with Margaret wanting to marry peter townsend. the Church said no, and she ended up divorcing snowdon anyway. just dumb. like charles "having to marry a virgin"......WHY? he should have married camilla to start with. how Archaic.
Finally a logical comment ! And then so laxative that Harry end up with ghetto trash. This people doesn’t understand about logic
I was aghast when Diana had to have a test to make sure she was still a virgin! Archaic! The whole lot are! Outdated and time to get rid off like many other countries
Definitely! Why should your status have to get in the way with your happiness? Margaret would have been happier with Peter, and Diana would probably still be here if Charles was able to just marry the woman he loves... I know obviously some people wouldn’t exist, and things would be different.
Edward probably would have stayed King and God only knows how that would have gone; Margaret and Charles would have had entirely different families, and there would be a different heir to the throne!
You're right.Think of all of the misery that could have been avoided.
@@54321. Meghan isn't " ghetto trash." What a hateful thing to say.
Great Britain got the best part of the deal. Who has ever been a more effective or dutiful monarch than Elizabeth II?Her rule has secured the Monarchy for decades to come.
For sure. Wallis Simpson was a parvenu who came from nothing. She very publicly humiliated her husband (who by all accounts was a nice man). She was too crass to ever fit in with the royals. My parents always said that we were well rid of Edward, the nazi loving traitor who leaked secrets to the Germans during the war.
True - though Elizabeth would still ultimately have become the Queen had her Uncle continued as King with Wallis at his side, because they had no children. It would have meant she became Queen in her fifties when he died in 1972, not at the age of 28.
I agree, Elizabeth was a superb and thoroughly dutiful monarch - David was far too lazy and hedonistic to be a good king.
Always love to know more history.
Thanks for sharing.
She wasn’t a duchess back then. “The American divorcee who changed the course of British history.”
@Kenzie Jean the title literally is “The Duchess Who Stole a King’s Heart.”
Where are you reading?
@Kenzie Jean The actual title--“The Duchess Who Stole a King’s Heart”--may be grammatically correct, but that does not make it factually correct. She only became the Duchess of Windsor after her marriage to Edward, who had been made Duke of Windsor by George VI, just prior to the marriage. The title asserts that she was a duchess when she stole his heart.
@@dacramac3487 exactly 👍
That’s how I read the title at first. The first thing I thought was that she wasn’t a duchess when she married him. She was not a duchess when she stole his heart so why would the title refer to her as a duchess when referring to stealing his heart. I read a whole book about her and she BEGGED him to not give up the throne for her. She was still in love with her ex-husband.
And yet, recent letters have shown that she did not love Edward & was in touch with her previous husband....even before she married the king.🤷
Exactlyyyy! More people should know this ! There is a great documentary based on the letters they wrote to each other !
She actually was planning to escape just prior to Edward becoming King. She never wanted to marry him and she never wanted him to abdicate. When I hear people compare her to Harry's wife, I have to laugh because they have almost no similarities! The only thing that they were similar in was their sexual prowess and the fact that they both knew how to seduce a man.
I felt really sad for her when I heard her letters. Very few people would give up what they wanted to do in life just because someone threatened to kill themselves. So sad.

The DIVORCEE who ruined a King's life.
Actually HE ruined his life all by himself.
Prince Charles I think this must be for you
@@princeselenespellcaster.mo8718 😂😂😂😂😂
and saved the UK from a Nazi lover.
Like wimpy harry has ruined his life too
@@Gloria-ro4vn I wonder how many people were aware of his close alliance with the Nazis. That was the real reason for getting rid of him. Mrs Simpson was just a convenient excuse.
Thank heavens these two characters disappeared from the scene due to cheer mental stupidity. This allowed proper royals to take over.
She did not want to marry him but he threatened suicide & she felt responsible for the entire debacle...so she married him& made his life miserable.
David Windsor was a big Baby.
I doubt Wallis could resist all the privilege, wealth beautiful homes, clothes and priceless jewels Edward laid at her feet. This relatively recent narrative that she didn't want to marry him and was some kind of powerless victim of circumstance, is I'm afraid, romantic fiction!
@@glamdolly30 They have found letters from Wallis to the husband she was divorcing stating how miserable she was, and that she thought she'd be like all his former "women friends". She thought he would move on. I don't know if you can google to find the documentary where a woman reads out her letters, but she tried to escape to France to get away from Edward and he sent two bodyguards. She tried to call it off, and he said he'd cut his throat. Sadly, if those letters had been discovered at the time, the divorce would have been off, because there wasn't supposed to be any contact between Wallis and her former husband in the twelve months before the Decree Absolute.
@@monique8641 I saw the documentary you refer to - it was based on a book by Anne Sebba, which had just been released. at the time, titled 'That Woman'.
Sebba's book started a new narrative on the well-worn story of the abdication - Wallis Simpson the victim. That story was picked up and repeated by other biographers, among them the ghastly Anna Pasternak, whose depiction of the Duchess of Windsor is positively Disney-esque in its dewy-eyed romanticism.
I didn't buy it then, and I still don't! Ernest Simpson was a lovely man who remained on friendly terms with his ex wife (he gallantly agreed to be cited as adulterer in their quickie divorce - even though HE was the innocent cuckold). But it does not follow that Wallis regretted marrying the former king, and wished she had stayed with him.
Edward could offer her a fabulous, VIP lifestyle she could only dream of with her previous husband. Ernest Simpson, while earning enough money to give Wallis a comfortable lifestyle with a beautiful home and servants, was 'in trade' - not born to millions in inherited wealth, like the Duke of Windsor. There's no doubt about who Wallis judged the greater prize!
To understand Wallis Simpson's mindset, you must examine her earliest days in Baltimore. Her father died soon after she was born in 1896, and her widowed single mother Alice struggled to support them both - relying on the patronage of wealthy relatives to keep them in a respectable, middle class lifestyle.
Alice impressed upon Wallis from her earliest days the importance of marrying well. Women had no career ambitions at the turn of the century - to be an ambitious woman, was to be a gold-digger - and Wallis ultimately became the most successful gold-digger of all time!
She first married aged 20, a disastrous union to a drunk who was abusive to her. She escaped that marriage through divorce and within months, re-married to Ernest Simpson. In doing so she 'married up', improving her fortunes dramatically, as Ernest was not only loving and generous, but had the money to indulge her.
Wallis was living her life according to her mother's doctrines - through the patronage of men. But when the King of England entered her life (ironically, through the elite London social life Ernest provided), Wallis saw a glittering future for herself.
No doubt she had initially expected to be a mistress, eventually cast off by the King - and she amassed enough jewellery from Edward to compensate her handsomely in the event of such a rejection. But as we know, the King fell in love with her to the point of obsession. A weak man, he had a nanny fixation and was drawn to Wallis' dominant confident manner. She never deferred to him, as other women did - he found her assertiveness exciting.
Edward believed he could make Wallis his queen, and dangled this prize at her daily. He was convinced he could persuade his subjects to accept Wallis as his wife, despite the fact she was twice divorced. But his assumption he could somehow get around the government and avoid the constitutional obstacles to such an outcome, was at best naive, and at worst arrogant.
Many of his assumptions about their future marriage and life did not come to pass. He received a particularly bitter blow on their wedding day, when he was told the royal family had denied his bride the HRH title to which she was entitled - a rebuff he never got over. And nor it seems, did Wallis. Their marriage was not a happy one, despite the lavish life of excess the former king laid at her feet. She used any excuse to torment him, frequently citing his family's mistreatment of her, and the HRH snub, and he was often heard to say "Will you send me to bed in tears again tonight?"
Edward assumed they would settle back in England after the war, when the fuss about the abdication had died down. But he hadn't realised how deep his brother and sister-in-law, the king and queen's resentment of him and Wallis went. They would not tolerate them setting up a rival court in the UK - Edward then wanted to move to America, but Wallis loathed her homeland, and wouldn't hear of it.
So they lived out their days in pointless self-indulgence, in a rented mansion in Paris. They could have done all kinds of constructive things with their fabulous wealth - started new charities, for example, which would give them a purpose. Instead they went shopping, bought jewels, held dinner parties for celebrity 'friends', travelled first class - and Wallis had more than one affair.
The truth is the former king was a very dull man. Guests dreaded being seated next to him at dinner, as he had no conversation! Wallis got the life of unimaginable wealth her mother had told her to shoot for, from a little girl. But, as with all things in life, there is a price to pay. Hers was to live the rest of her life with a man who bored her to tears. In the final analysis, Edward and Wallis deserved each other!
It wasn't her uncle's idea to go to Oldfield. She had to BEG him to help her! Read the letters. It was never her uncle's intention to give Wallace a good education.
She didn't love him and at the end she treated him terribly.
Oh really? Could. U tell. E more story on this.,, im from asia n do not know much about this story
@@Livelovelaughes there is a documentary featuring letters Wallis wrote to her exhusband and aunt (?) where she makes it clear she was not interested in marrying Edward. But by the time he abdicated she had no choice.
He blackmailed her to stay with him.
@@Livelovelaughes look on TH-cam and there's a video about all of the letters that have been found and her diaries! It's excellent! I just watched it and I learned things that were completely different from what I have heard for years.
She did treat him terribly, but from the interviews, he apparently liked her aggressiveness towards him... Strange...
He literally gave up his throne to marry her and I can’t even get a text back.
You're funny

Exactly!! His uncle walked so he could run and marry his own divorcee
so did harry

Great documentary great job 👌
I am fascinated by this couple and this is one of my favorite videos about Wallis, with information about her you do not find elsewhere. Thank you for posting.
She was attractive as a young girl, but her face got hard as she aged. David saw something in her that he desperately needed and couldn’t live without. IMHO she was a lover and a mother to him. I’m glad they were happy. I’m happy England dodged a bullet with his abdication. George VI was a much better King.
She was born with male and female parts and i think thats way.
They weren't that happy. He was obsessed with her but she didn't love him. And she treated him like a dog.
@@angelaconner3131 something for everyone...
Excellent documentary. Thanks for the Baltimore history.
Y'all shouldn't hate on her, she was a badass Slytherin who rescued Britain from a terrible king
They should have statues of that woman all over the UK. Imagine if Britain had to fight the Nazis with that feckless playboy on the throne.
The main reason for wanting to get rid of him was that he was a Nazi sympathiser. Mrs Simpson was just a convenient excuse.
As Winston Churchill observed "someday England will erect a statue to Mrs. Simpson for her service to the Empire."
Wallis and her mother were blessed to have relatives that would help
I do not like to admit this but I have always found Edward to have been a spoiled child and man who wanted to only party, travel and live a easy fun filled life. And as for Wallis, she appeared to want the same life style.
David Windsor was a big Baby.
You nailed it! Two ghastly, vain, spoiled, greedy people, who fully deserved each other and the empty, shallow life of privilege they wound up living in France.
The couple had unimaginable wealth, and not even a child to support. They could have used their money to make a lasting legacy - maybe started a charity, opened a hospital - or done any number of good things with it. They frequently complained they were bored - yet they never launched any benevolent project in their names that would have given them a purpose beyond shopping, drinking, and meaningless self-indulgence.
Instead they held lavish dinner parties, travelled the world first class, and rubbed shoulders with celebrities. They left no lasting legacy at all - just the abdication story which is finally being recognised accurately not as a love story, but a tale of selfish hedonism and dereliction of duty. Oh, and the sale of Wallis' jewels to benefit charity. The former king emerged from the gilded cage of monarch as a multi millionaire. But did nothing positive with that money. This really is a pathetic story of two unbelievably self-centred, shallow people.
When Edward died, Wallis suffered a horrible, lonely widowhood - because she had foolishly failed to establish any real friendships. As a result when her health began to fail she was very vulnerable. Her husband and protector was gone, and a French female lawyer soon muscled in, with dollar signs in her eyes. It's believed she forged all kinds of documents to take personal ownership of priceless property belonging to Wallis and Edward. Soon Wallis was so frail and confused, she became housebound. If any friends or associates contacted her, they were rebuffed by staff - on the orders of the crooked lawyer. Wallis lived another 14 years after losing her husband, bedridden for many of them and attended by nurses. She was very isolated in that huge house, and it seems suffered terribly in that time.
Earl Mountbatten had tried to befriend her after Edward's death. He even drew up a financial plan for her to leave the sprawling Paris villa, and move into a luxurious suite at a top hotel in New York. There she could have lived out her days in comfort with a small, full time staff, and been the toast of the Big Apple. But it seems her lawyer swiftly intervened and replied to Mountbattern's letters, quashing the proposal.
A great shame for Wallis - Mountbatten had thrown her a lifeline. But without her husband's patronage, she was being controlled by some sinister people on the make - and as her mental confusion worsened, she was a sitting duck for exploitation. Her husband should have put a plan in place to get her out of that villa when he died. It's ironic he prioritised her best interests always - yet he effectively left her high and dry and totally vulnerable, when he died.
They had a very strange relationship. He loved to be abused. Smh
I dont think so.he abused his past relationship.i think he's not happy his duty as king.my vision
Not all king wants the title.if i were also in his situation i also choose love than crown
I mean Edward
Poor David was a real pansy ass.
Maybe he had a humiliation kink!
For clothing she had the perfect figure. For her age she was in amazing shape her arms were very toned.

@@nancyvillines4552, Anyone would expect that someone so closely associated with the Royal Family, would exercise decorum when displaying their physiques to the prying public. Considering you aren't likely Royal, please, feel free👑.
Bonnie, judge much? I'm still trying to figure out how someone can hate someone that they don't know. Why your judging, WWJD?
Besides, they wouldn't even acknowledge her, why should she care?
How can it be that Charles, who is married , in a civil ceremony, outside of the church , to a divorcee whose ex spouse is still living can take the coronation oath to uphold the church's teachings ? Henry Vlll did it but since then its a contentious issue , funny how the Bibles teachings are now considered relative and can be reinterpreted to fit modern decadence and yet the truth never changes but for some reason, modern man is somehow different to all generations and he seems to think that the Bible and nature must adapt to His feelings and desires, he is special apparently. God save the Queen, she never, ever , put her personal happiness before duty to the crown and as such I think she was blessed and rewarded with a marriage made in Heaven and a long and healthy life, given in service. King George VI was the same.
It would have happened because Princess Elizabeth was heir to the throne after her father died had Edward been on the throne. Wallis was allegedly unable to have children and 40 when she married the former King, and he was allegedly impotent according to some reports, so we would have had our present Queen after Edwards death. Just a delay! Which would have let the Queen have more time for her children and family life without the pressure of being the Monarch. Could have been a 'Navy' wife for longer.
Does the museum still exist in Wallis Simpson Baltimore? If so, where is it?
i find the lives of the royals fascinating!
So do many. In reality, most of them are freeloading parasites.
HRH a common mistress??? A person who could very easily betray people and countries for personal interest.... hey cut the crap...
She was never granted the title of HRH. She was simply the Duchess of Windsor.
They did go everywhere!! Including to visit Hitler and give him their support.
Yes, but they were supportive of Adolf Hitler's economic reforms. They were unaware of what was to come. The Duke Of Windsor was supportive of the housing and job growth that was brought about by Adolf Hitler.
And the Nazi salute. They were secret Nazis. After the war and the exposure of the Nazi death camps, Edward said that he wished that Hitler had won. What a dreadful little man Edward was.
I’ve always known who she was.
Yup. Straight trash
? Do explain??
A ruthless gold digger.
Interesting story on Wallis. I knew so little about her. She was grand in style and life. Unfortunately she did not get the King, but got the man and Fame.
He was a King ,so she got the King,the man and fame.
Compared to today's royals, Edward and Wallis were a wonderful example. He gave up everything for love and she gave up everything for him. Who gives a dam about a little American actress, taking a silly little boy away. Who gives a dam about an old mistress, playing at being someone important. Today, royal marriages come and go, but Wallis was always there for her king. Bring on William and Kate. Hopefully we will get back to a decent monachy. Britain deserves better than the wastes of space it has had recently.
Oh no, the Warfields were not better than the Kelly’s or Bouviers.
but not as rich :-)
Elizbeth and her family would still be in line to the throne. It's just she would have been queen in the 70's instead of the 50's
Well what if the King had his own children. Elizabeth wouldn't be in direct line then.
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat He was probably infertile.
He couldnt have children. He had mumps in his younger life.
Wallis could not have children because she was born with both , men and womens parts.
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat Edward may have been sterile. And Wallis supposedly was sterile as the result of a botched abortion.
She would make him walk on his hands and knees and beg her for a cigarette. He wanted to be abused.
Omg that’s crazy....
I hate her. Have to wonder if they ever consummated their marriage. Was it the night of their wedding when she insisted he wear a nappy? Hate her. What about when she wanted to be social at a party without David and she said to him "buzz off mosquito". During her final years with Alzheimers, hope some rat spat in her food. I love Richard Burton for telling her, " you are the most vulgar woman I have ever met". Hate her.
@@bonniemagpie5166 😳 wow you sound rather psychotic
Omg ! Yes she was awful! She would also force him watch her gay friends engaging in sexual acts. She was depraved !
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat Why? Because she states the facts about this disgusting woman that she was?
Check yourself, apparently you can't grasp a few concepts.
Giving up the throne was no sacrifice for the short-lived king! Marrying Wallis gave Edward the perfect excuse to escape the gilded cage of 'King-ing' and fly off to the life of shallow hedonism he craved - and bitterly resented any departure from once he was King. Courtiers and government found him a lazy, entitled oaf, who had no wish to do even the most basic clerical tasks required of him as King, and scant respect for duty.
When he finally got round to viewing confidential government documents provided to him regularly, he would leave them scattered around his homes for anyone to see. These important documents were frequently returned with the unmistakable stains where wine glasses and coffee cups had been placed on them.
One of the biggest clues to Edward's character, was his greed in negotiating his 'exit fee'. As the King, incredibly, he was the personal owner of Sandringham and Balmoral, which meant the royal family had to buy those historic royal residences from him (his brother Bertie and wife Elizabeth were insistent he and Wallis should have no bolthole in the UK, with which to set up a rival court!).
Despite receiving handsome settlements for those two great royal estates, Edward quibbled, pleaded poverty, and held out for more money when the question of his annual retainer was negotiated. After the deal was done, it transpired Edward had the sum of £2 million pounds hidden in offshore bank accounts - a staggeringly large amount today closer to £20 million. Needless to say, he had made no mention of his immense wealth when negotiating the retainer, insisting he needed to be generously recompensed for giving up his privileged life as King, and to ensure a lifestyle befitting his unique status as the former monarch.
He spent the rest of his days in a rented mansion in Paris, in pointless pursuit of pleasure, his plain American gold-digger by his side and treating him like a disobedient dog throughout! In the final analysis, Edward and Wallis deserved each other. But it's quite wrong his role as a traitor to his own country former subjects during WW2, supporting Hitler's Nazis and pushing behind the scenes for appeasement - and unforgivably, to stop America acting as Britain's ally - was covered up.
It's said many documents held at Windsor Castle proving his treachery, were personally destroyed by Elizabeth the Queen Mother. I don't doubt it. She wisely recognised if the ugly truth ever got out about her wayward brother in law, it could very well bring down the monarchy, and tar them all with the same brush. Many of us have seen the black and white home movie footage of 'Uncle David' teaching the young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose how to do a Nazi salute! Edward was a Nazi sympathiser and anti-Semite to his manicured fingertips - and fully deserved to be exposed as such.
Amen.
No longer the most “ scandalous “ marriage in the Royal history of marriages. Heavily outshone by the late Duke’s great great nephew , a man of absolutely NO character , honour and decency . Imo .
Why do they keep calling him King Henry VIII? He was Edward VIII.
Thank you
Edward VIII's preference for Well Traveled Wallis explains his Grandnephew's preference for Camilla.
He should follow the example and abdicate in favour of his son.
And similarities even more in his great grand-nephew's choice in wife of Meghan Markle, and backing out of royal duties
@@Boertje247 Prince Henry had no real shot at the throne anyway, especially since William has 3 children.
And Harry with Me-Again
They r born royals with roles and responsibilities assigned to them before their birth...some stay loyal to the crown and are happy this way, and yet some just want to enjoy life... still in luxury, but less rules and publicity... i'm sorry for Diana, she would be so much happier married to a love of her life instead of a prince who needed just a healthy uterus...
She wasn’t a Duchess until he married her.
School??? The school from which she was breaking it during the night so as to meet her occasional lovers??? You are right....I' ve said enough....I am stopping...
Even if Edward had remained on the throne, I don't believe for a second that he and Wallis would have had any children. So nothing would have changed in terms of Elizabeth eventually becoming Queen. She would have eventually inherited the throne upon Edward's death. Her father died back in the 1950's, Edward died in the 70's so Elizabeth would have been the heir apparent.
Of course, if Edward had stayed on the throne it might have changed the outcome of WW2, which in turn could’ve altered the entirety of contemporary history in Britain and beyond.
The public hated her and she was blamed for the abdication. She was smart enough to know that she would have been hated more if she hadn’t married him.
No. The king fell inlove with her. She never liked edward but she had no choice cause he abdicated. She even begged him not to.
He loved her more than he loved the crown. Kudos to him for not marrying for duty.
I'm not trying to be mean or funny and I was never around her when even born then but it seemed like if you look at the pictures he hardly Smiles he's always at his head down he looks always sad the X King and she's always looking to hit him little to the rocket scientist to see this man was not really happy he was happy to be in her presence but he wasn't really happy and I believe that she did dog him out cuz she like she has a domineering personality
just like Prince Harry is now...no smiles
He was a puppy
@@whatadollslife Prince Harry is very happy. With Meghan. And she is very happy with him and with their children. Once again the hatred of Meghan by a racist bigot.
Why did she say yes to marriage? I'm just so confused. (To Edward)
He threatened to slit his throat….in her
Letters she thought he’d move on to someone younger but he loved her indifference towards him and it got out of her control….she basically thought it was her responsibility to deal with the fall out
@@courtniewill thank you for explaining
If it wasn't for the Archbishop of Canterbury Cosmo Gordon Lang's disapproval of Simpson, she might likely have become Queen Consort.
It was more likely the government intel agencies that put a Kibosh on his affair. They knew Wallis was chummy with Hitler and after her and Edward's remarks about what a great guy Hitler was I imagine it made them pretty damn nervous. Do, I think Wallis was a spy, no, just a good time party girl who had been around the block a few times. She like hanging with important people for social status. Edward was a dunce and an idiot but he was going to be the public face of England and that made him an influencer. Who knows, Parliament & those in the know probably were ecstatic when he married her and he was forced to give up the throne, they got rid of the Clown Prince and they could then focus on important things, like a probable war with Germany. Eventually they shipped him off to the Bahamas, and as far away from the war as possible, and where the Americans could keep a closer eye on him for them.
@@Gloria-ro4vn Watch the documentary about the Archbishop. He was the main opposition to the marriage of Mrs.Simpson and Edward. He ruled the moral compass of Great Britain for decades.
@@cruncherblock3834 But the government didn't want Edward or Wallis on the throne. They were too chummy with the Nazis. Wallis had even had an affair with the high ranking Nazi official von Ribbentrop.
@@cruncherblock3834 Like the spy agencies, he was aware of Edward's favourable opinion of Nazi Germany and felt he had to go. Mrs Simpson was just a convenient excuse.
She was a gold digger. She no more liked the king than the man in the moon.
The yellow dress is the one she did housework in.
I dont think stole is the right word
Maybe seduced
Seduced is she making the move to prince Edward 8 but in this cases he falling in love with Wallis
I give credit to Wallis for being classy in all ways; she thought David would tire of her and she just wanted to be Wallis in Wonderland for a bit; unfortunately David became obsessed with her as she represented his life line to no responsiblity for the Crown. Her relative here resembles Wallis!
Wallis was the one who introduced Edward to Hitler. She was a vile person.
The queen would still be the queen, Will and Kate would still have been married. The Duke and Duchess had no children and the Duke has long passed.
Her reign just wouldn’t have been nearly as long. Edward VIII died in 1972, she would have been 46 instead of 26 at the time of her accession - HUGE difference!
If Edward had decided to stay on the throne, he would have gotten a virginal sacrificial lamb (ala Diana) to have his legitimate children and Wallis would have been on the side (ala Camilla). I think this is the line of thought when talking about how the abdication changed Elizabeth's life and why the Queen Mother was always so bitter.
@@pastorofmuppets13 But that would not have happened. It’s what he was pressured to do but...he didn’t. There are only two scenarios David marrying Wallis and keeping the throne or David marrying Wallis and abdicating the throne. Either way the current queen would assume the throne.
@@nicole.stanhope It doesn’t matter how long her reign would have been it would have still happened.
@@AuntBecky1 I think the feeling among the senior royals for whom duty is everything, is that he shirked his and thus it was forced upon George VI and his family.
So no pressure on Charles, thus no Diana, thus no William and Kate... IF David had fulfilled his duty, stayed King, married an appropriate woman and produced an heir.
In regard to her thinness, didn't she say " A Woman Can' t ever be too thin or too rich" so there it is
She was too thin. She looked like a broomstick with a hatchet face.
Yes, it would have happened. Prince Albert's (later King Geoayrge) daughter Elizabeth was always destined to be Queen. Always,
He looked like a DrSeuss character, but they had such elegance back then.q
Could someone turn that dreadful music off , oh for pity sake why do this to people, why is the spoken word not enough ?
As long as Edward had no children Elizabeth would have still become Queen.
Fascinating lives?! Far from it... She did not love him. He loved the fact that she belittled him... He did not have much self esteem. Born into royalty... And never felt worthy...sad!
What divorce?In my country no divorce🤣
🙏🙏
Peter Pan could never reign. He was incapable.
Queen Mary Wallis without an inheritance came from Mc Arthur and Senana Tan
Had David remained king, Britain could well have lost WWII to Germany, given his German sympathies. However, marriage to Wallis would likely have made no difference to the line of succession. She was very near incapable of bearing chlldren. Elizabeth would become queen regardless.
Byvbbhhhhbyyy byl by by CCRdffgfhc a good CT
The monarch is Supreme Governor of the Church of England and not head of the Church of England.
In new york?
Poor Wallis. She paid a hard price.
What kind o price did she pay? She always was a common penniless mistress... a manipulative monster hungry for money and prestige...
Not enough a price!! She divided the monarchy 😤😤
I felt bad for her she prevented him to stay on the throne and might think she would be a queen but that's never happened
She didn't have to marry the former King.
Divorce was a humiliation on any family. Wallis had two divorces.
They repeat the same pattern. Because!!! Tradition!!
Just like " Fiddler On The Roof"
( but with money) LoL🤣🤣🤣
Harry and Meghan are both good people and love each other very much. Shame on you for slandering them.

This same story is going to be told about Harry's wife one day, only without the social graces and flair for fashion.
You need to watch the Video concerning all of the letters that have been found written by Wallis Simpson. She is nothing like Harry's wife! It's also on TH-cam and it's excellent, I learned a lot that I had never known before. It's very interesting
@@BlazeCasey It is indeed. Really interesting. Harry's wife is a unique money grubbing social climber not unlike Wallace. Difference is Edward happily gave her everything he had and more. Harry' is too stupid to see what is happening to him.
Harry's wife is a good person. She really loves Harry and he really loves her. And you are a racist bigot.
May she rest in peace.
Elizabeth Regime II also i got
He gave up the throne for that woofer.Was he mad????
David Windsor made a mistake by his abdication.
How many Wallis pieces did Camilla Inherit? How many Wallis pieces did Charles purchase for Camilla?
There just standing next to the same 2 dresses .
Like national parks history i love it
How unfair. Now Charles can marry a divorcee and ascend the throne. But edward couldn’t.
NO! It was because she was a security threat to Britain due to her connections to high-ranking Nazis in Germany.
Don't feel sorry for Edward, he never wanted the throne anyway.
Well attitudes were different 80 years ago.
During the 1930's a divorced person couldn't be "received" in upper class society. It was said by the royal family that "If David marries this woman, she won't be received anywhere". And that was important in royal circles.
@@SymphonyBrahms George VI kept Wallis from be styled HRH. Queen Mary wouldn't receive Wallis.
In all I have watched I have seen nothing particularly admirable about either of them. I don’t care about her birth or his birth, i don’t care about her posh frocks or the cost of her jewellery collection.
What a shame you didn't keep her there. Her dress sense was hideous
The Harrison s? Berwind coal Baron?
나는 이런거 보면 애기가 되어울고 웃어요.
let's not forget that Britain moves with the times as well as other countries, to say that William would not have married Catherine Middleton If not for the Abdication Is rubbish.
In saying that Thank you Wallace for taking him on as It turned out he was a Nazi sympathiser and a liability to the Realm.
THAT a real man! With transparence.
He had homosexual tendencies! Loathsome man with the right wife
Kindly open u tube Phils a real king and queen a world
Wallis should have never married the former King.
If i like means i like
She desperately tried to avoid marrying him. She kept writing love letters to her divorced husband after marrying “the boy “.
Total B S
It's true. The letters prove that she still loved her ex husband. And she never loved Edward. She treated him like dirt. People who socialized with them say she called him demeaning names and ordered him around.
Wallis had some big Gemini energy and I'm here for it!!
And destroying lives around her as she moved through life. Yeah, no!
here was
here is no

This was really boring they really put a stretch in there to make this such a long video. I mean really you're showing us an apartment that's been renovated several times in the last hundred years it's not even the same building.
Is this fan fiction or history?
No ah.🤣🤣..
