The Duke of Windsor never gave a flip about the rules. He took it when he abdicated and didn’t care. It’s why a new one was made for Charles’ investiture.
@@jasonkoch3182 Odds are William won't have an investiture as Prince of Wales so the coronets will probably never be worn again. He chose to wear his Welsh Guards cap and uniform at the coronation.
@@dlxmarks you could be right that there won't be an investiture, but what he wore at the coronation is irrelevant to that. He's not entitled to wear the coronet of the prince of Wales until he's formally been invested with it. The same rules apply to the monarch. Until the crown is placed upon the head of the monarch at the coronation, the king or queen cannot wear it. William is not entitled to wear the coronet until Charles or his designee has placed it on his head during the investiture.
@@mattp701 I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. I understand what you are referencing. But the coronet did not end up in a foreign museum. It was kept by the Duke of Windsor until he died, and then it was returned to the UK and placed in the Jewel House at the Tower of London. So maybe keep your snarky comments to yourself unless you want to contribute to the conversation.
He was valued and appreciated by the Duke, but merely tolerated by the Duchess: that says it all. He stayed on in this capacity until a year after the Duke’s death in 1972. The Duchess wanted to dismiss him. At that time, Johnson’s wife had died, and he asked for more time off to care for his children. So you know what that wicked old hag did? She fired him. Despite Johnson’s fondness of the royal couple, he would have been treated as a servant in those times, and the Duchess’ view of him would likely have been influenced by her Baltimore roots, and the racial segregation that was a codified way of life there and across the USA. In the end, she got a very nice surprise from her lawyer. You reap what you sow.

@@faustusliviuspraetextatus6773 After Edward's death, the Duchess's lawyer Suzanne Blum assumed power of attorney, basically giving her control and executive right over all things Wallis Simpson legally-speaking. Mrs Blum then sold a large portion of the Duchess's personal belongings to her circle of friends at an extremely cut rate and kept the money for herself. She also bequeathed a large chunk of the Duchess's personal wealth and other valuables to a charity she had no attachment to or care for, which I guess is one positive. The Duchess lost her voice in 1980, and passed away from dementia-related bronchial pneumonia in 1986, and by the time she passed had no visitors to her home besides her doctor and nurses. None of the information about her lawyer was made public until the release of a book called The Last of the Duchess, which was written in 1980 but not released until 15 years later, coincidentally a year after Blum's own death. Hope this helps :)
Now this is mostly made up show, however if this is the way it went down it's possible the shock of them just coming and taking a bunch of stuff especially journals and letters, I'd wager heart attack your body can sometimes make you cough to try and get it back to rythum it usually doesn't work.
If this is based on truth I hope he was compensated financially for allowing them to take things that most likely by law belonged to him by buying the estate.
He was a fool! The Queen would have nothing back… Trying to be something you’re not and would never be apart of. Who would care of making a Queen with no power happy.
As Sydney said, everything begins and ends with the royal family, if you want to be a part of that world or "Play the game" you gotta understand the rules.
The scenes between these two men were the best of the series. I would have kept everything!
I really enjoyed the Mohammer Al-Fayd character development and portrayal.
More than I thought I would
There is honour in Al Fayd cause of the way he looked after the valet. Respect to him 🙏
I would as well
This was my favorite part of the entire series. Very touching.
@@shane6115Al Fayed the rapist
Most humanly and humble relationship between them is really beautiful and emotional too❤ I just finished the series
The Prince of Wales coronet is part of the Crown Jewels collection and it was illegal to remove it from Britain but thing's happen.

Oh no, Britain's prized artifact was removed from the country! I hope it doesn't end up in a foreign museum run by idiots pretending to be historians!

Do you mind telling me what was that "nice surprise"? I am unfamiliar with that part of history.

@@noahbrown6970some may say that wasn't enough, but when you really think....she paid a dare price for her terrible ways indeed.
She was totally vile.

Second hand smoke

It is called business connections. Now you know why you are poor...
