Why The Entire Royal Family Hated Wallis Simpson Till Death

Why did the entire British royal family hate Wallis Simpson, the American divorcée who married former King Edward VIII, until her death? This is the true story behind the 1936 abdication crisis. From a poor-relation childhood in Baltimore to two divorces, a royal romance, and the Instrument of Abdication signed at Fort Belvedere on 10 December 1936, this video traces exactly how Wallis Simpson became the most vilified woman in the House of Windsor. You'll learn about her marriages to Win Spencer and Ernest Simpson, her introduction to Edward, Prince of Wales at Burrough Court in 1931, the constitutional objections that doomed any hope of her becoming queen, the 1937 Letters Patent that denied her the style Her Royal Highness, and the 1937 Germany trip that fed decades of unproven spy allegations. We separate documented fact from rumor throughout, citing Wikipedia, biographers, and Wallis's own 1936 statements. This is a careful, sourced look at a feud that was mutual, institutional, and ultimately permanent. Subscribe for more true stories.
