      Why shouldn’t she be slandered? She was married, had an affair, didn’t want to be with Edward, admitted in writing that she used him, only married him because she didn’t feel she had a choice (in writing) and was miserable but made the best of it. She wanted to be queen, the titles, the deference… the only person besides Edward that gave it to her were Nazis and Hitler.

      So given what you said, I'm not sure why you never forgave him. He was in love. He got what he wanted. You got what you wanted---an amazing king who bore an amazing queen. Where's the loss? He tried to get them to accept her, they wouldn't so he left it because--GASP!--she meant more to him. If you are married, I would love to know how you would've felt if your husband would've said--"well Kate, the tail was amazing. Thanks for letting me hit it, but I have to go kinging now, so see ya on the flip side! Buh-bye!" As a person who's wasted FAR too much of my life doing what ingrates wanted and thought "Was best" being screwed for it and never having them reciprocate when their turn came--good for Edward for looking out for himself. No one else would have or did and he saw that when they kicked him to the curb. That's EXACTLY the type of family you would throw away the crown you didn't want in the first place for.
      And y'all need to stop being butt hurt that he abdicated. He was a TERRIBLE king! And you probably would've been speaking German had he NOT abdicated You all were done a HUGE favor.

    I have read many books and watched many documentaries on this couple. Many feel Wallis wanted to be Queen - not sure that is the case- but one thing is certain, Edward did NOT want to be King. I believe he planned a way out knowing that Wallis would not be acceptable and it would end in abdication, so he would be free to lead his own life. Unfortunately it backfired somewhat in that they were never wanted back in England and spent an aimless life.

      Edward VIII & P. Harry really do share tremendous similarities; tragically. E.VIII’s life is a cautionary tale for H. & his family. H. Does not appear to have any skills for introspection or taking responsibility for his life choices. His decision to drop all his responsibilities & walk away during a time of a pending world war was a blessing & astoundingly selfish. I believe Wallis had more power to influence his decision than this writer maintains. W.S. was not a victim. Any more than M.M. Is. Granted, W. reportedly had great regrets after marrying Edward, settling for members of the international cafe society instead of courtiers, & denied the style of HRH. However, she was showered with one of couture clothing & a gobsmacking jewelry collection. We all make choices. I hope it was worth it. Sadly Wallis outlived Edward by many yrs. & died alone.🕊️

He wasnt up to the job ,his popularity created by ,what we call today "spin" ,went to his empty little pea brain. I never thought her ,particularly likeable either ,but she did deserve better than what she got .

  • @jgibbs651
    @jgibbs651 9 місяців тому +7

    Edward had the self-awareness of a brick. What on earth did he think would happen - that the RF and the British public would welcome his American divorcee with open arms? This was a society in which even the "innocent" party in a divorce was prevented from attending Court, couldn't enter the royal enclosure at Ascot, was not "received" in many households - why did he think things would be any different for him and Wallis? The answer is that, with his usual arrogance, he thought the rules wouldn't (shouldn't) apply to him.
    Of course, with the benefit of hindsight we can see that in fact Wallis Simpson did Britain a huge favour in removing from the scene a man wholly unsuited to the role to which he was born.
    Yes, there probably was what would now be termed emotional neglect, but he wasn't specially singled-out in this, and we know that he, rather than being a unifying figure for his siblings, in fact undermined, disrespected or was downright cruel to more than one of them. His feelings and thoughts on his unfortunate youngest brother Johnny can only be described as abhorrent, and his bullying of his brother Bertie is well-documented. Outside the family, his treatment of his female lovers once an affair had ended was cavalier and nasty, proving that he didn't reserve his unpleasant traits for his family.

    I think you might be a little mistaken over the married woman thing. The heirs and the spares have always preferred married women as their mistresses. In fact this was expected as first of all the women had experience which generally led to the royal involved to tend to stick to her while he sows his royal oats and the obvious reason is that the potential illegitimate offspring of the pair could be explained away by the husband. The husband pretty much always knew what was going on and it was often in his interest to look the other way.

    Bith Wallis and Edward were well suited for each other. They were both shallow, frivolous, callous and indifferent people. They never expressed regret for being close friends with Adolph Hitler and the Nazi leaders and betraying Great Britain during the early part of World War II. They lived in great comfort in the Bahamas when the Allies were fighting in North Africa and then Europe against the oppression and murderous policies of the Nazis.

    Very biased in favor of Wallis. No, I'm sorry, she did NOT 'try to make him happy every day', that is just ridiculous. There are any number of verifiable accounts of her despising him more or less openly, at least in the presence of others. Theirs was NOT a 'love story', it was a story about obsession and narcissism. It's a big mistake historically to make 'victims' or martyrs out of selfish people. They were not only traitors to their countries and active pro-Nazis, they were traitors to decency and humanity. The fact that they were rich and celebrated for the rest of their miserable, useless lives is testament to the bad judgement humans make about other humans and how evil is often rewarded. We need to consider that more now than ever, what with all this counter-factual 'revisionism' of history's villains. King George XI and Queen Elizabeth were the heroes of this piece. Wallis and David the villains.

    If Wallis and Edward had not met, would Edward have been a good king, or even a king who merely went through the motions? I think George VI was a good king. He went through the motions because he knew it was best for the country, and he wanted to serve his country because he was royal and being king was the family job. It was what his family paid to wear the crown jewels. I suspect that Edward did not want to be king. It was a burden. Then, when he realized that he had given up respect and love to his stuttering brother, and that George was actually doing grood and even great as king, then he realized that he wanted the glory of being the hero king. He couldn't respect himself. Wallis could not respect him for quitting, so he could not respect himself.

    Wallis was a gold digger! She did not love Edward! She wanted desperately to be accepted into the British aristocracy! She played with fire and got burnt, but make no mistake, she knew exactly what she was doing! Only when it appeared there would be negative and severe repercussions for herself did she start to retract! Wallis dated the Edward, went on trips with him for months leaving her husband home alone! Ernest is the real hero, I’d love to see a documentary on him one day!

      She’d allow her pug dogs into the sitting-room, but keep the Duke’s dogs out, much to his distress.
      Or she’d be furious when he kept singing jingles from adverts he’d seen on television, or used Americanisms such as ‘I guess’ or ‘making a buck’.
