Marrying Ernest Aldrich Simpson

Barely seven months had passed since Wallis finalized her divorce when she found herself once again donning a bridal gown, this time to wed the affluent socialite Ernest Aldrich Simpson. Their union was marred by scandal, with Ernest having freshly untangled himself from his previous marriage just weeks prior. What’s more, when Wallis first encountered Ernest, he still bore the label of a married man.

Undeterred by the ethical quagmire of their courtship, Ernest swiftly ended his marriage and proposed to Wallis, catapulting her into the role of Mrs. Simpson. The newly minted couple embarked on a whirlwind journey to London, where they plunged headfirst into the dizzying heights of English high society. Their primary pursuit? Rubbing shoulders with the royal family, a quest that promised intrigue, opulence, and the allure of a world beyond their wildest dreams.
