LMAO!

Sounds like a love story of nearly every man - they always love themselves, first and foremost.

Lol 😂😂😂 omg hilarious, way too funny!!! Girl couldn't make up her mind, bet she didn't think things would turn out the way they did.

😆😄😂🤣😁

Especially Wallis's love for Wallis.

Exactly 💯

Narcissist in its truest form!

She wanted the money and status. They had tons of money and he left everything to her. Not sure why she had to beg the Queen for a monthly allowance after he died, but she did.

​@rqqqqqq!111111!😊alsteelmagnolia6615

Meghan & Harry !

" Oh Clarice, you really need to go out more ... have some fun, yeah!"

Excuse me …..social climbers ??? true for Wallis…..but David was King and chose to fall off the ladder. The man looked pitiful next to this vixen who spend her life humiliating him while he obviously was relishing it. This is what awaits Harry……..Megan holds him by his nuts and their produce…..his children. She will dump him and he will go back to the UK like a sorry sod.

@@meghanelaraby277 you really are full of it aren't you? Just because the media and the royal insiders have span a false narrative about Meghan you have fallen for it, smh

@@meghanelaraby277 Not at all, if you want a fair comparison doit with Camilla and Charles. I believe is also why the Queen worked at the end of her days. And de boys who had a father more interested in his Mistress than in their little boys or his adorable wife. Camilla is the real climber here!!

Does this ring any bells?

Yeah it's pretty scary edwards version of love shows how sick he was.

Actually he had a mistress, the same mistress for a long time until he became King and changed many things.

I am not sure that many, including her soon to be son-in-law, PrincePhilip, would agree with those of Elizabeth's friends who put Elizabeth II's mother on a pederstal.

@@kimmccabe1422 Are you talking about Thelma Furness, daughter of the diplomat? If so, Thelma was Gloria's twin sister (Vanderbilt jeans and other household accessories and her son, news anchor Anderson Cooper), and it was Thelma's idea for Wallis to keep the "little man busy" while Thelma joined her sister in New York during a custody suit brought by Gloria's husband, was a job that Wallis did well. In fact by the time Thelma returns she has taken her place in Edward's arms.

@@janicesnyder9305 thx FYI

I think he was similar to Charles in his thinking regarding housing, and how the monarchy should be, but he was still a playboy who didn't have a care in the world till he was king.

Edward's abdication saved Europe from Hitler's devastating evil as Edward favored Hitler's point of view.

Just wanted to add that it's not always the case that the parents are right. Queen Victoria & Prince Albert felt the very same of Bertie but Bertie was a much beloved king & though still a ho jo, he was a very good king.👊

@@rosemarykriegel3226 Not Edward so much as his wife! She was photographed with Hitler so who knows what the friendship was like. I’m guessing she gave the impression she was going to be Queen. The British prime minister then was against the marriage. So Edward took the hint. What I fail to understand is why was he paid millions to live his do nothing lifestyle while Britain to this day refuses to pay reparations!!!! Plantation owners were paid over generations. People are still waiting. Phillip hung around the Nazis too, all his sisters married SS men.

@@twingytwango6971 prince Philip joined the Royal Navy in 1939 when he was only 18 years old and before he met Princess Eluzabeth. I'm pretty sure that disqualifies him as a Nazi sympathizer. King Edward VIII, however was very much a Nazi sympathizer in all of the articles I could find. He believed Hitler was the right leader for Germany and remained friends with him, even giving him the full Nazi salute when Hitler visited England.

……yes, she would’ve been Queen when KEVIII died, as he & Wallis had no children, she was next in line………

Are you attempting to use ellipses? Or is your comment infested with ants?

That really isn’t true. Edward never had children so she was always second in line.

@@kathleenwyatt2433 I don’t think so. A British monarch must be a member of the Royal Family by birth and not by marriage. 💡

@@DVPerry220 Of course it's true. When Edward died, his brother--David--was already dead. Elizabeth, his blood daughter was next in line for the throne. She would have inherited it 20 years later than she did. That's all.

Read my mind

Sounds like a more current couple that we all know of and wish we didn’t

The more I read the story and the comments the more I am amazed at the carbon copy of Wallis and HER dimwit, the more it is mirrored in the current goings on of that other American fame and money hunting women, who leads her husband around on a dog leash and embarrasses him and denigrates him while using him. Get out Harry, I just hope you read this.

@@marycarver1542 same thoughts. The RF men through the years have shown struggles to choose their partners

I read something something similar and that he would cry like a little boy when she used to mistreat him in from of people at parties the gave in their chateau, or other places they were invited to. I think he was looking for a mother type of person when he married her.

​@@newas233Thank God William chose well. He took his time and chose well.

I was one of them but never realized it until I was paralyzed in a car accident...he was driving. As soon as I was no longer taking care of all the duties of the household and not holding the better job....he found someone older with money and walked out on me and our 4 year yr old son.He was a Peter Pan and left 2 when she withheld the money and found an even older wife who he stayed with for 27 years til he died of a heart attack 3 yrs ago. I learned my lesson and stayed happily single since 1985.

I'm going through this currently. It's very lonesome.

@@TheMightyBlackPearl so sorry to hear. Get into marriage counseling immediately. Remember the only person you can change is you. Don’t sell yourself short. You deserve an equal partner.

@@thatjayne thank you! We're in counseling, but I'm the only one seeming to put the work in. I don't want to throw 7 years of marriage down the drain, especially when our daughter is only one. I don't want her to come from a broken home, but I also don't want an unhappy marriage to break her either. It's just a very dark time right now in my life. I want my family to be happy, but most importantly my daughter deserves to live a happy life. No child should pay for their parents mistakes or pain.

One has to be ready to be 1/2. A parent to your love one because that’s the reality of marriage; like it or not.

That's so true...

No she was set to Inherit 2 million from uncle and she did not due to her choice. She would have been one of the wealthiest woman in the world. And she never spoke bad on the RF. No Megan for sure

@@veronicajean3612 Wallis was kissing buddy with HITLER. what do you all think would have happened if Edward was on the throne and married to Wallis? of course, some of these royals were bossom buddies to the Nazi's, Phillip for example. All his sisters were married to Nazis. Thankfully the British Parliament was having none of this. They knew where it was heading. Edward was chased out of England.

@@latinaalma1947 No comparison. Wallis was mistress to heir to the throne. PH is 7th in line, his status it is really insignificant.

Former King. A Duke. When she married he was no longer King.

@@irislai7821 Divine appointment..... God has his eye on Queen Elizabeth II.... She is the apple of His eye.....

How is she phenomenal? She can’t have an opinion about anything really and the “gray men” always told her what to say, how to say it, etc. nothing was ever from her own thoughts and mouth. So tell me.. what has she done?

@@CrustyUgguhhhhh.. where do you get your information? Might want to check it

Sure, many marriages were of convenience. This one was a big one. Fascinating couple still to this day.

Love Ernest? Really? Wallace amassed AQUAINTANCES, not real friendships, especially not with other women, who a girl would normally turn to. Wallace was always about...Wallace. Ernest was, literally, the only ear she could bend...and she already knew how to play him...LOVE HIM??? SERIOUSLY??? This declaration could not have been ...safer. ensuring continual emotional support...Woe, poor me...

As kinky Friedman and Willy Nelson say::: we have careers in country music because most people aren't with their first choice.

Edward lacked a tender mother, a guide and a woman embodying this. Just as Charles needs Camilla instead of a young girl.

@@susannabonke8552 I don't think Charles necessarily needed a mother figure in his wife, rather someone on his level he can share with the things he enjoys like gardening, hunting etc, and also able to provide an emotional support and be his sounding board. An extroverted girl with abandonment issues who was extremely emotionally needy herself and couldn't stand life in country was simply a terrible match. And with all his issues (and they are many), Charles has nothing on Edward. The more I read about this couple (Edward and Wallis) the more I am horrified by everything about their personalities. I really can't find any redeeming qualitiy in either of them at all other than he made the right decision to abdicate.

Correct!!!

Horse crap. Edward set this whole train in motion.

Lie, not lay, but otherwise, Abso-freaking-lutely. My wife was an English teacher while I was teaching history. 😁

Did she tho? It’s possible this is just the royal family trying to besmirch her name. This is all alleged.

You don't seem to understand a constitutional monarchy. He could do nothing without parliamentary approval and Churchill, for one, would never have handed England to the Nazis. The very fact he had to abdicate in order to do what he wanted indicates the figurehead they are and not a monarch with any real political power.

@@susanharris5926 I mean just the fact that the media were silent on the whole Edward & Wallis affair kind of shows how much power they had. Many credit the King and Queen as an effective cheerleader and morale booster for the war efforts... They were also sent to visit Roosevelt to convince him to join the war. I think its a strong possibility that they at least influenced the outcome of the war. It would also make sense that just because of who they were that many individuals who wield power would be influenced by the monarchs opinions, either to further their own careers or out of reverence for the monarchy as an institution. If Edward was king at the time he could have always pulled the "nuclear option" and used his reserve powers which would have effectively deadlocked the government until they could overthrow him. I think the monarchy has more influence than they would ever advertise. Even Edward and Wallis interviews were censored during the war out of fear it would influence people, even tho he wasn't still the king.

@@brett6905 The media were far from silent. It was all over the newspapers and the news. The biggest influence to the outcome of the second world war was the day Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and America joined the fray. The monarchs are not supposed to have opinions that they state publicly. Nor do I think they influence that many people. The banks and in particular the City of London are calling the shots in Europe and in many other parts of the world for that matter. Their interviews were censored after the spectacle of them visiting Hitler in order to make sure they said nothing in favor of Germany. You have to remember it wasn't so much the government that was against them - it was the Church of England and he unfortunately as King was the nominal head of that outfit which meant he and the government of the day had to take seriously their dictates with respect to divorced. As you know, things have changed a lot since then.

@@susanharris5926 Not in Britain, the media never reported bad things about the royal family in those days. The British People were not aware of Wallace until long after it had been reported all over the world. They had considerable influence where the media was concerned. If the Royal family held no power and didn't influence the media, why wouldn't the pictures of Ed and Wallace standing beside Hitler be published? They would certainly be profitable. "Spectacles" sell papers.... The couple also did interviews with magazines, and President Roosevelt made sure they were never published. There is a strong case to be made, that Roosevelt wanted to enter the war but couldn't until Japan struck first. We definitely declared economic war on Japan first when we were supposedly neutral. I don't think we will ever have the full story of what went down, but its a strong possibility. Roosevelt strongly disliked the Japanese, and I doubt the UK government would have spent the money (and it was a costly trip) to send the king and queen to America if they didn't think it would pay off. Roosevelt loved the royal family. You say the banks held considerable power. I would agree. I was watching a video of Queen Elizabeth having her portrait painted in 1992, and she was talking to the painter and casually mentioned having dinner with the Rothschilds, one of the most powerful banking families in Europe. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the Rothschilds and the royal family have been friends and business associates since the days of Queen Victoria. A Rothschild was Queen Victorias personal banker, her kids attended school with them. It is well documented. Part of being the monarch is you make friends in those circles. And being in with the monarch is definitely considered a feather in your cap in high society. Networking is a huge part of that family's power base. I think it was absolutely the government and not the church of England that helped oust Edward the 8th. He really was an unsuitable man in personality and intellect for the job. He was offensive to the establishment and a known nazi sympathizer. Wallace was the excuse to oust him but not the reason. The Church of England was certainly complicit but there is allot more to that story than him giving up the throne to marry the woman he loved. Why do you think many of the documents are still sealed to this day? I still stand by my opinion that George and Elizabeth quite possibly affected the outcome of the war. Technically the nuclear explosion ended the war, but for all intensive purposes the war was already won by the allies. If Britain folded early in the game, who knows what the outcome would have been You also didn't reply to my hypothetical.. If Edward the 8th had been king and used his reserve powers to shut down the government... It would have been chaos and absolutely weakened if not deadlocked the war effort. It wouldn't be a smart move on his part but it could have happened.

The banks held power then and now. The City of London is outside of laws that govern the rest of the country. Edward 8 was an immensely popular king and was far more amenable than any of his successors. He would have done a no worse job than the following 2. He had terrible judgment thinking that Germany and England had commonality and going there, but brains and political savvy have not been a requirement for the monarchy since Elizabeth I. As to reserve powers to shut down the government, I frankly know of no such thing. Monarchy in England is constitutional and is largely ceremonial and formal with actual political power in the hands of the government and has been since Charles I. Banks operate globally outside of all of this.

And incredibly crass and rude. I detest the ribald and hateful comments.

Salamat - Thank you

I am going to rewrite your last sentence.....What a sad life for these SICK people.

I adore learning silly wonderful linguistic things like this. Language is so fun. Thank you for sharing the pun!🎉❤

Wallis sure knew few sex tricks from China how to deal with men...that why Edward get exited about her ,,goodness,, and rood behaviour toward him that make him feeling different, easy with woman he was thinking that how love looks like... he never experience previous because hall nation had admire him.

Well said. Who knows what interlopers and bad people are in the Royal Family that are hidden from the public.

Does this not remind you of anyone. The difference being is that cringe couldn't get ginge to the alter fast enough. Like a little puppy, he followed, and still follows, where cringe leads. I don't think Wallace wanted to get away from Edward, I think she wanted what he could offer except marriage. She wanted him to be King, and she would remain his mistress, but could still be with her husband.

Most of all herself.

But she would have been Queen anyway because Edward didn't have children.

@@hisnewlife3543 yes. If Edward VIII had remained unmarried and childless, the crown would have passed to his next younger brother, Prince Albert, Duke of York. when he died. Since Prince Albert (King George VI) died in 1952, the the crown would have passed to his oldest child- Princess Elizabeth.

@His New Life absolutely. I personally believe Wallis couldn't have children, she was married thrice and had no children from any of her husbands. Plus She was 41 when she married Edward

It's Wallis, not Wallace.

@@300biggirl It's Wallace, Wallis was a transgender a man and Edward was a female. The same as all the so call royals who are all blood relatives and that's including the spouses. THE CREATOR BLESS

Face like an old boot!

Rather accurate portrait of the affair

Wow, you need to write a lot of books. This was beautifully written and sharply observed. You've very keen perception and the ability to articulate it without verbosity.

You need to include that she found him dull and boring.

When did her mother die ? You never see Wallis have her widowed mother to come stay with her in England or anywhere.

@barbara couffer Oh I always read the comments. Often I read them first. In many cases I just love the good old intelligent discourse and well written critique is a gift. It energises me.

Not even if one has 15 bathrooms ?? !🤣🤣🤣🤣😃😃😍

Or love yourself and not money/status. She thought she was going to get the title, all of the jewels, and all of the money. Because she never loved herself, she got absolutely nothing in the end.

That makes your home a very fancy prison!

True, but it seems justice when someone not nice reaps what they sow in life.

@@gammahinAz Oh please.. to be greedy and entitled is the most perverted love of self. All three initiated a game and they got caught up in it and destroyed by it. Earnest could have done a few things to turn it around (the press could work both ways) but he was getting Gold Card access to high society too. So he chucked her once they both got established; knowing she'd never truly want for anything. Unlike the millions of people W.E.'s "friends" (the Nazis) "took care of". No I don't feel sorry for any of them. You sow the wind, you end up being hurled by the whirlwind.---meaning you sow discord and deceit to get what you want, you will be found out and destroyed. Boo hoo.

I don't believe she would have "loved" Hitler. He was a squat uneducated man. Edward had class and actually, I read, that what he admired about what Hitler was doing was the building of public housing That isn't loving Hitler. He met him as did a lot of people. No excuses, but seriously, David and Wallis were not stupid!

@@nanmorris8188 Edward was weak minded. Had to have validation from her. He was a emotional mess with our her. He was a simp basically. I can’t really be convinced otherwise.

Edward or “David” was a hundred percent simp!

What’s simp?

@@matthutchings1988 well Wallis was a Simpson so yeah...

She cheated on her Husband (Ernest) , then got jealous when her good friend hooked up with him---she's a control freak -just like you-know-who !!!

Initially a lark to benefit her and Ernest, social climbing....but not smart enough to get out soon enough.

He was likely in on it. Not unusual in that group. If your wife is mistress to a king or prince, you move up the social ladder. Normally the king or prince will end it at some point when someone new comes along. I do not think either counted on the obsessive behaviour.

Oh no he was cheating on her and was divorcing her. Now back in the day men allowed their wives to cheat up the ladder. Odd but true. It brought both of you up If you did not you stayed in your rank. Never can you apply today’s reasoning to yesteryear. Very common tho

@@irislai7821 She cheated on her first husband, then cheated on her second husband (with his consent as it brought him into contact with other royals and wealthy people who helped him become MORE wealthy). They used each other. She ended up paying the higher price being saddled with an obsessive, childish, boring, POS that she could not stand. Earnest at least had loving relationships with his last two wives!

Maybe he unconsciously used the opportunity of his infatuation with her as his ticket to get out of the obligation to reign ? The feeling of being trapped in the wrong context/situation can trigger complex and powerful emotions and exacerbate the perception of being in love, more so if he person suffers from a feeling of incompetence.

The only problem was Ernest remarried so I think it was emotional needs she was trying to work out not because she wanted a plan B

She needed someone to talk to. Obviously someone whom she can trust. You obviously have no idea what it is like to be an orphan

Oh I think it was just Wallis being Wallis, playing her game to see if she could keep Ernest on the string for the fun of it, especially since he had moved on and was apparently finding happiness with someone else.

@@karendalsadik7119 Ernest's replies certainly would have been comforting to her.

I think it's sad so many women hate other women.

Just like Harry. He never wanted to be a prince or a working royal. Nutmeg is his ticket out and his opportunity to hurt and harm his family.

I agree she was a, manipulator

I think you forget the period in history. If she left him she would never be accepted in society, he trapped her with that speech.

He threatened to kill himself. Who wants blood on their hands.

She got what she aimed for

O´Seas Viewer: You are right, but who tells us that the letters are not fake to change the story a little bit?

What her letters and behaviour show is a woman focused on herself, her own pride, her drive for attention and wealth. It does NOW shock me to find people interpreting this woman has the victim - "lamenting the loss of her freedom" and "shcackled to a dull, boring childlike man". Seeing her as a victim is ludicrous. I have to really wonder, what is it with so many people thinking women are innocent victims, never responsible for their own choices and actions?

Can't comprehend this story know about Wallis and Edward. Will be reading upon it.

@@jhb1493 Never did they say she wasn't a victim, but if a man sucks then he sucks. Admitting it doesn't make Wallis a victim.

It does not even come as a surprise him being a well adored man being the future king. I guess he hardly knew one woman not serving to all his needs saying yes to every of his whims.

Hardly. Wallis lived as if she were queen belittling her ex-king spouse, "David" was a shadow of his former self, whining about not having a job and needing more money, the Queen Mother couldn't accept her lesser status as widowed former queen consort--and didn't. ER II kept them all in play and placated. After all, America is a good enough place to ship off England's disgraced ex-kings and worthless princelings, both with ambitious American wives and their delusions of grandeur.

Men. Even kings. Can be so stupid. Taken in by desire

What a great story. Do you have more to tell?

@@creature57 Wallis was fastidious, and took ages with fittings… hence the sandwiches. Eva Lutyens place was at Buckingham Gate, next to the palace; she was very well connected with top people. The fabric for the dress was crêpe I think, with some suede and feathers in the outfit somewhere… and all in the special colour Wallis Blue, although it faded years later (to beige) and was featured as a centrepiece in the Fashion Institute at the Met Art Museum in New York where I believe it still resides. My mum made a replica of the top part for her own wedding dress a couple of years later, but it mysteriously disappeared at the cleaners when she went to collect it.

She was playing with a mans heart for her own gain.. who could feel sorry her?

repeat with Harry and Megaego

Very much like Megan Markle

She bit off more than she could chew and paid for it. I feel sorry for both of them really. He was a very troubled man, having been abused as a child by his awful parents and a terrible nanny it seems. Smacks of codependency but one hopes they were at least slightly happy together.

@@lorenataft6157 Nonsense! I am not defending Wallace, but comparing Meg with Wallace is a huge mistake! You are giving Meg too much credit! Firstly, Harry is not a future King, he is just the spare, hence he never gave up the throne for Meg! King Edward VIII was the heir to the throne, he was crowned King and gave up the Throne for Wallace Simpson. That is already the first major difference! Don't compare the heir with the spare! Harry might be high profile but he is just the spare and he gave up nothing for Meg! Second, while not everyone would agree with Wallace actions, she did come from a wealthy, well to do, renowned Baltimore family and was given a good education, in stark contrast with M's dubious background. Compared to M, Wallace Simpson was a Lady!

@Israelite American Like someone we know lol

I think that could be the case, but I think bigger issue is being forced to choose. That's the real tragedy.

The husband thought it was an honor! This is no love story

I thought that too. Always wants what she can’t have. Always wants to be the martyr. Always wants the security of a husband and the extra of a lover. Pathological liar, manipulator, general narcissist.

I agree with you. Edward knew his weakness and used Wallis as a scapegoat. Realistically, he didn't want to be king as he knew its hardwork.

Yes, a fascinating book; "Love has its Reasons"... I have a copy here.

Did she write an autobiography? Or did you read a biography on her

@@r5u26d3 Wallis wrote “Love has its Reasons”.

Unfortunately, life is not 'sweet and lovely ' all the time. Both these people chased the glamour, and life at the top, without wanting any of the responsibilities for anything or anyone except themselves! They got what they deserved, and fortunately for the rest of the world, Britain gained a true King and Queen.

Great analogy!

DITTO

Yes, but there is no actual footage of a monkey that dumb. It’s a story.

@@dragonmartijn I said story! from psychology 101. Is an example of greed . In reality in India monkeys get caught by putting nuts in inside a coconut with a hole big enough for the monkey’s hand. the coconut is first tide to a tree trunk.

@@normahuesmann3794 Sorry, I think I've just proven myself that dumb XD

Do you think it was really like that? I have read quite a bit, and basically it seemed that Edward had a large entourage of people to keep him entertained and when she and Ernest appeared, he was totally smitten. That's how I see it. No matter what, my god that woman had fabulous jewelry which was designed by the two of them.

Sort of reminds me in a weird way of Prince Harry and MM…

Who does she remind you of !!!

Meghan Markle

Same thinking. Poor Harry

As. The king he had the. Power to make her queen or queen consort. Maybe he did not was because he simply did not want to be king with all that entailed. I think being a playboy was more to his liking...he made the right call just look at our wonderful queen Elizabeth.

Charles and Camila won't divorce.

@@angelaalbury986 Angela, I agree. A very contented couple and their relationship began before the marriage to Diana, so they had history when they were both single. Changes things a bit, I think.

​@@margaretmcgill526Camila was married when he married Diana..and still both of them were cheating on their partners ..that's awful

N M ..Most people will have a great and passionate love affair during their lives...You just get on with it and don't make a fuss about it.

Is this Wallis Sinpson's ghost talking?

Was'nt Phillips mother mad and joined some sort of nunnery ...

@@ianstewart2252 prince andrew sent her to an insane asylum

Well I'm pretty sure most people aren't the king of England and abdicate over such affair and this is why they're making a fuss about it. Nobody cares about affairs, it's even known and looked the other away with other kings and queens during their reigns.

😆😆😆

😆😆😆

Hahaha...never googled apparently!!! Yeah right.

Megan

You think? LOL

I don't think he had any choice events overtook him..

Literally. She didn't want to marry Edward at all, and actually did try to leave him, Ernest flat out asked Edward if he had intentions of stealing her away and marrying her and Edward said that he indeed intend to do that; and literally said okay have her, despite the fact she made it clear in several letters to Ernest that she didn't want to do that, and made it clear via letter to Edward that she did not want to marry him and wanted to go back to Ernest and Edward threatened to kill himself if she left him. So Edward essentially forced a woman to marry him against her will, which is just disgusting, he's already disgusting for being a Nazi sympathizer forcing a woman to marry him against her will is just the icing AND cherry on top of the cake.

Back then you didn't deny the king

Well said! Ernest was an afterthought. In her letters to him it's all about her & how this has affected her life. Her primary mission to achieve social status resulted in exile, isolation & loneliness.

@@sandradee1579 she loathed children, ended up married and exiled with one hahahaa

like markle

@@lorrainebishop3520 exactly. In my opinion meghan will leave Harry within 3 years and move on. You will see

That's the thing.

Elizabeth's husband's father, Phillip, was a Nazi sympathizer and his sisters married Nazis.

Wallis ended up being the unlikely person who saved the UK, and ultimately, Western Civilization from the NAZIs.

@@emsnewssupkis6453 elizabeth's father is george the 6th phillip is her husband 🙄 you must not know shit

She might have been ONCE in the "high" social scene a "heroine" but that didn't last long once the truth came out from her letters and conversations claiming she WILL be queen of England! Dont forget her high ranking Nazi bed warmer whilst "away from david" in France while he pondered "what shall I do?" Then of course there is her written letters confirming her TRUE LOVE was the idiot American no.2 husband even as the mole was divorcing him and well after the fact. She was a forty year plus old twice divorcee, a gold seeker and a "royal title seeker" and as ugly as a horses face ready for the glue factory, taking 2nd best fellow idiot false king Edward nee david out of despair and making sure he and the British tax payers kept her in a sliding upmarket socialite upkeep until the old age factor crept in. She didnt even produce any children so one could say what a SELFISH piece of garbage was she...... if UNABLE to have children...... Adoption... there were HUNDREDS of kids orphaned in the period of her "meme" selfish life. She would fit well into the "let them eat cake" era. The writer is well into his eighties and remembers the "women and the wanker" well.... 1st hand not out of a book or news item.

Dave La Violette however it all turned out for the greater good...

Oh I don't think she thought that far. But having an affair with a king is pretty big deal. I think she played the hard game and didn't think too far ahead.

Precisely. She was a calculating, grasping social climber. She simply misread the room on this caper.

That is a very normal thing for the English monarksCharlie had the same thing with Camilla and husband knew about the affair so maybe they threaten them maybe it’s just a swingers party but the death of Diana tells you somethingThey bleed the every day man to death and they live in luxury and that’s what they doRolling in mud generation after generation

@@soulatheodore9517 this almost happened with Prince William and Rose Hanbury, her husband knew about thier relationship..but I don't think Kate agreed with the arrangement, plus they were friends for a longtime after the press got wind of it that relationship it was quickly put on ice and she was asked to leave court but only until things died down.

@@justinejustice_league1857 D's wife here: there was no affair, that was Harry's wife causing havoc!

@@justinejustice_league1857 that was a rumor the the witch put out. I don't think that was true and has Not been proven as far as I know. 🐝

@@justinejustice_league1857 h

Wrong, she didn't want him to abdicate... She was flattered to be in the King's circles for sure, but she certainly didn't want him to be be dethroned. It wouldn't be of any use to her.

That’s exactly what I was thinking

How so? Harry’s relationship was no threat to his place or his duties.

History repeats itself.

I disagree, Harry endured a lot from the Brits, he watched his mother being hunted down, and talked about in the press so harshly, then to turn around and do the same to his wife, so that they can kill her as well, and he's have to raise Archie alone! I have to say I thought the Brits were far more evolved than we were here in the states, who knew they were worse? Disgusting bigots!! Incredibly disappointing!!

That's what I'm thinking too!

Move over Wallace, Markle took the throne

Joanie Adams First of all, Mrs. Simpson’s first name is Wallis, not Wallace. Second, the Harry and Meghan situation is not the same as this one.

@@TableForOne1976 - First of all, Mrs. Simpson first "real" name is Bessie. Her birth name was Bessie Wallis Warfield. She didn't like the name Bessie so she began referring to herself as Wallis (her middle name). And I agree with you, the Harry and Meghan situation is not the same as this one. Not even close.

Total sympathy for Wallis. Look the insecure child she agreed to cater to.

Yep and even those letters was her just trying to use him to get away from edward, if she would've got away she would've left her ex husband too. She's all about self.

You do realize those were different times for women, right

Priscila Magalhaes Times change, it’s inevitable. She could have used her intelligence and “charisma” for more honorable ends. Sorry, I’m not being judgemental just observant. She could have also steered him away from being a Nazi sympathizer. There were many women of that era that did accomplish great things without compromising her character and morals.

Those were different times for women. She definitely put herself in a bizzarre predicament. If you recall, any remote possibility that her abandonment could have resulted in Edward's suicide entailed grave repercussions on her reputation on many levels. A compelling reason to proceed with a marriage she didn't really want. Wow!

@@priscilalondon True, but that would have no bearing here. She could still have pulled the plug on the relationship with Edward.

@@sopranosd No. I don’t believe that she could. She was trapped. Those days for women were so different.

She has no moral

The husband was in on it

Jelly Belly very looks like Camilla bowls.

@@WenWen-tg4uk same as Camilla

Ernest was her Second husband.

The pressure associated with being involved with the King was taking a toll on her

I can’t help but see the Parallels between MM and Wallace Simpson and the way she treats Harry. They are so much alike!

Yes but look where they are now!

@@cabingirl1961 begging for attention by writing children’s books and releasing documentaries,I feel like one day MM will do him bad 🙄

Harry is like Edward. Childish, dependent, passive unless directed, resentful at his position, angry at his family. M is just his way to escape and denigrate his family.

@@cindybogart6062 Yes, the 2 couples are so similar--- Uncanny !!

On the other hand, its quite likely the war would have been very different.

Come Camilla ha fatto da madre a charles

👋👋👋🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱

ah yes, the Hoover!

@@reneelibby4885 Yes!

Agreed!!

The similarities in this story to the Markle debacle are amazing. MM looks so much like Wallis, Harry is treated and behaves like her puppy He is forever, in my opinion now estranged from his family and the life he left behind, What a good thing for the UK and the Commonwealth that Edward DID abdicate, HIS personality is also described as being somewhat like Harrys, He looked rather weird, and it is reported that he did, in fact, have some unusual physical traits! We ended up with our amazing Queen Elizabeth who has fulfilled her role in a way that no one else could. Long Live The Queen !

I don’t see how Ernest did anything wrong. His wife asked for a divorce, and he granted it to her. At that time, it was considered ungentlemanly to divorce one’s wife; one always allowed one’s wife to divorce her husband, manufacturing evidence for her divorce grounds, if necessary. It was considered chivalrous. Women were never presented at court, to be adulterous, or in any way at fault. The husband was always presented as at fault. Ernest simply acted as a gentleman was expected to. Wallis, on the other hand, was a total mess, who had no idea what she wanted. She was unfaithful and lost, in both her relationship with Ernest Simpson and her marriage to the Duke of Windsor. She was a disaster for any man who fell for her.
