This is Where the Story Ends

Until her final moments, Wallis Simpson harbored a deep-seated resentment towards the British royal family for their treatment of her and Edward. Thus, it came as a shock when the royals orchestrated Simpson’s funeral at Windsor Castle, interring her beside Edward. The guest list added to the intrigue: Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, and the Queen Mother all paid their respects.

The saga of Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII remains one of modern royalty’s most captivating tales. Yet, it begs the question: What if Edward, with his known associations with fascist leaders, had retained the throne during World War II? Did Wallis Simpson unwittingly alter the course of European history when she captured Edward’s attention? The allure of these unanswered questions adds yet another layer of fascination to their remarkable story.
