how very beautiful. not only the jewels but history behind each piece. they were a much maligned couple but i hope they were happy in their own way. thank you for posting this.
I’m going to cry. Gorgeous innumerable love for each other but fueled by finances. This makes me sad and ecstatic at the same time. This amount of wealth has me torn in all directions.
you prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf during the lockdown :)
Very true. Unfortunately, there’s people who’d say the poor are lazy and failed to work hard enough to earn wealth. This is entirely untrue and an ignorant, simplistic view of the core reasons behind poverty.
Lynn .D - The royal family disliked Wallis to the very depths of their souls. They wanted NOTHING that had ever belonged to her. When Edward died and his service was held, Wallis was told she could stay at Buckingham Palace. She had hoped that, at long last, she would finally be accepted by the royal family. Unfortunately Wallis wasn’t told that everyone was leaving that same day to go to another residence for a vacation. Wallis watched them all drive away through a window, she was left all alone....and no one told her goodbye.
These were not 'royal' jewels, the majority of them were commissioned after the abdication. They were privately owned pieces, belonging to a couple that lived in France for most of the time.
The original sale, of The Duchess Of Windsor Estate, in 1987, made almost 50 million U.S. dollars. All of the proceeds went to The Louie Pasteur Institute in Paris. It all went to a good cause.
The government was threatened by this very popular King and his vision of a modern Monarchy.His choice of an american divorcee' was upsetting to them.The people however did not feel it an issue until it was spun by the court that Wallis was unacceptable.Then as sheep to the fold they fell in line as they always do.It was the perfect storm for a Baldwin Ku that would place a more user friendly King in place.Unfortunately Edward played into the trap that was set for him.
She was a good digger. He was a fool. She was dominating shrew, he was a puss. He died loving a woman who couldn't stand him. She died alone and bedridden, with her servant stealing her blind. Good riddance.
@@JustinLHopkins The British hated her because she was an American divorcee and a commoner. They thought their King should have married a virginal "British Rose". The British have always looked down upon the Americans thinking themselves a far more civilized people and hated them since they lost the American War of Independence.
Anders Liljevall NOT one piece of her jewelry collection was ugly! Wallis Simpson's taste in jewelry was not convential, little simple pieces of accessory. They were truly works of art; bold, big, over the top, commanding attention! That's how I like my own jewelry; even though mine is just costume. She was blessed to have been able to own and enjoy such exquisite beauty!
Except they don’t. A good example is the nouveau riche on reality tv who drape themselves in vulgar and tasteless jewelry. Then there’s the Kardashian’s. Not to mention Donald Trump who’s awash in a sea of the most hideous shades of gold. Money can’t buy taste and you can take the person out of the trailer park but not the trailer park out of the person.
Stunningly beautiful jewels.
Tania Thomas yes , the jewelry is beautiful. She is butt ugly
The cross bracelet is beautiful.

Meanwhile people were starving in GB while these two were spending money they never ever earned: Not a minute of public service in exchange !!!

Indeed, the proceeds of the sale should have been given to back to the UK taxpayer, who after all paid for these items in the first instance.
@@WomanNextDoor If you got rid of the whole bunch including the current ones, you'd save a whole lot of money. And the country would be better for it.
@@MTMF.london look up how much revenue the Royal Family brings to its country. You may be surprised.
Very very true,two wasted lives !!!!😁🇬🇧
Tears of sadness trickle down my face at your magnificent comparisons of Wallis and Diana. God bless you for your poignant, intelligent analogy.
Oh please.

Аукцион!и каждое изделие на своей подушечке!
She did us a favour we got a far better king

I can’t believe the royal family didn’t lay claim to the jewelry

So, where all that money went bc they did not had children's

香港人口老化嚴重，很多人都有機會到這些“醫院”， 我只想所有人知道要特別小心， 這些所謂的“醫院” 分分鐘害死人無命賠!!! 我媽不是第一位受害者，更不是最後一位，我認為我有責任提醒所有人要提防並小心， 如果有人早點提醒我，我媽可能免於此難 ！ ！ ！ 千萬不要等自己也成為受害者才關注, 到時就遲了 ！ ！ ！
現在所謂政府的人都像機器一樣，有事要找它們就慘了 ！ ！ ！就像韋奕信前港督说，只能 "自求多福“ ！ ！ ！但每人都會老，都有機會入醫院， 有必要提醒大家， 那些害死人的少做壞事也少點報應 ！ ！ ！每年歡樂滿東華都叫人捐錢，真懷疑捐了錢是好事還是壞事！ ！ ！
July 1, 2018
東華東害死我媽已經二十天了，它們串通跑馬地黑警恐嚇如不盡快領取我媽遺體，就把她送去公眾殮房解體，火化，骨灰用來鋪花槽!!! 投訴了黑警到今天還沒有回音！ ！ ！想找食衛局的陳肇始，告訴她東華東竟然有害死人的護士！ ！ ！也想找醫院管理局的梁柏然， 但都沒有可能 ！ ！ ！香港還安全嗎 ？ ？ ？還有人能負任何責任的嗎 ？ ？ ？ ！
香港已經黑暗到極點 ！ ！ ！香港特衰政府內幾乎沒好人，好的都入不到高層 ！ ！ ！
嚴重不舒服，那些人渣三天都不理，當然就是它們害死的，而且之前已經害死了很多人 ！ ！ ！ 還好意思年年歡樂滿東華問人拿錢，給它們也變成害人的幫兇 ！ ！造業 ！ ！ ！是做壞事，而不是善事 ！ ！ ！ 92歲就一定要死嗎 ？ ？ ？ ！ ！ ！這是人講的話嗎？ ？ ？ ！ ！ ！
百行孝為先， 我就是因為沒照顧好我媽，現在都沒機會補救，特別難過！！ ！假如自然死還好點，但現在明顯是被害死的， 我能不傷心嗎？我媽也因為我被那些騙人的壞人虐待，受苦受難，被害死前都沒有菲傭，甚至沒有輪椅，都是她自己慢慢走路，因我希望她不要放棄靠自己，希望她進步 ！ ！ ！她的親家 106 歲才過世，因是梅雪詩的媽，有錢 ！ ！ ！
如果都市日報不去問醫管局，好像沒任何人回复我對東華東和跑馬地黑警的投訴 ！ ！ ！那種焦慮慘痛的心情不足為外人道 ！ ！ ！最後都市日報報導 QUOTE 醫管局續指病人情況轉差時，護士已立即知會家屬 UNQUOTE 這是不負責任講大話，根本沒人及時通知我們 ！ ！ ！害死我媽前一晚還不忘趕我走 ！ ！ ！導致我媽單獨在痛苦中被害死，我們被剝奪了見我媽最後一面 ！ ！ ！我媽被害死的時間也不正確， 東華東還可信嗎 ？ ？ ？ ！ ！ ！難怪要串通黑警恐嚇我 ！ ！ ！
我在我媽被害死前兩天就發出 SOS 的訊號，都沒人理我！ ！ ！我送我媽去醫院時的狀態都比她被害死前好很多，我只是怕她不知道有什麼問題，才送她去醫院的 ！ ！ ！
皇天有眼，曾蔭權和港鐵都有報應了 ！ ！ ！他無做好那份工 ！ ！ ！
害死人罪惡滔天，何況還是所謂的醫院害死的，還是所謂有做善事的光環的，還敢年年籌款搞什麼歡樂滿東華的東華東幹的“好事”，這不也太諷刺了吧！ ！ ！ ???
It was no love story ,read her writings and as for him ,weak and had mother issues!!!!😑🇬🇧

Eh. Anyone could make beautiful jewels with that kind of wealth.
