Thelma Was Fed Up

As Wallis Simpson and Prince Edward’s relationship blossomed, whispers began to ripple through the corridors of power, casting shadows over their burgeoning romance. Initially shrouded in discretion, their entanglement soon drew the ire of those closest to the prince. Thelma Furness, Edward’s long-standing mistress, was the first to feel the sting of betrayal as his affections shifted towards the captivating American.

With Thelma’s departure, the stage was set for a seismic shift in the dynamics of British high society. While Ernest Simpson, King George V, and Queen Mary remained relatively unperturbed initially, murmurs of discontent began to percolate among the aristocratic elite. Something stirred beneath the veneer of decorum, hinting at a storm brewing on the horizon—a tempest of scandal and intrigue that would shake the very foundations of royalty.
