What do you think of Mrs Simpson?

Personal profile

Mrs Simpson is the beauty who makes the Duke of Windsor love this country. Mrs Simpson's fame in English history, and her fame, are all due to the fact that the Duke of Windsor gave up the throne for her, which became a much-told story. That's all we know about Mrs Simpson. What kind of woman is Wallis (Mrs Simpson)? Is it worth the Duke of Windsor giving up the British throne for him? The Biography of Mrs Simpson, written by Charles higham, a famous British biographer, describes in detail her growth, feelings and life course, and reveals many little-known behind-the-scenes stories of Mrs Simpson's life, which is worth reading. Childhood experience

She was born out of wedlock, so she was never baptized.

Bessie Wallis Warfield is an illegitimate daughter, born in June 1895. At that time, the United States was slowly recovering from a disastrous economic depression. However, Baltimore, where the Wallis family is located, is humble, elegant and remote, but it can't see the obvious influence of the Great Depression. Wallis' father, Tikol, is a rather unusual member of this family. He was weak and got tuberculosis at the age of 18.

At that time, tuberculosis patients were forbidden to live with women. But at the age of 25, Tikol fell in love, and he met Alice montague at the age of 24. Alice is lively and lovely, with blonde hair, very beautiful and charming.

In an era when kissing tuberculosis patients is considered dangerous or even fatal, Alice really needs the courage and courage of all young people to start this romantic relationship with her lover. They avoid the surveillance of their families and serenade love in cheap hotels, parks and other places. It is shocking that Alice is pregnant.

For American Protestant Episcopal families, having children out of wedlock is a disaster. Because it means that this family will be discredited and may even be expelled from Protestantism. Neither Warfield's family nor Montague's family wanted to take the risk. They were caught in such a scandal. They forbid children to be born in Baltimore.

1895 At the beginning of this year, the young lovers left their hometown for a famous holiday resort-Blue Ridge Peak, which is located at the top of the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland.

On June 1895, Alice's baby was born safely. This baby named Bessie Wallis Warfield is not only the only unrecorded descendant of Warfield and Montague, but also the first child in the Warfield family who has never been baptized. The elders of the Protestant Episcopal Church at home did not agree to be baptized. Based on the irrefutable reason that she is an illegitimate daughter, Baltimore's church organizations also support this major ruling. 19 10 April 17, when the Christian church in Baltimore began to accept Wallis, in order to gain the recognition of the church, the Warfield family forged her baptism record. Because she was not baptized, two of her three marriages were invalid according to the doctrine, including her marriage with the Duke of Windsor in 1937. In the eyes of the church, Wallis is a man who has not been banned and will eventually be punished forever.

When she was a child, she was full of style and pretentiousness.

Wallis is an outgoing, naughty and lively little girl. Alice loves her and is proud of her. She takes pictures of Wallis every week to record her growth. By 1900, grandma's room was covered with more than 300 photos of Wallis. Alice named these photos "Wallis childhood photos" according to the convention of the London Art Museum. Wallis was born a Warfield: full of fashion and pretentious. According to Cleveland emory, she called her first dolls Mrs Astor and Mrs Vanderbilt, who were the "queens" of new york society at that time. The first books she came into contact with were about fashion, opera, popular fashion and stories about the king and queen of England. She has been as noble and elegant as a member of the royal family since childhood. She never calls Alice "Mom", but "Mommy".

1902, Wallis entered No.28 Eliot Street12 and became a student of Miss Ida O 'Donnell's kindergarten. It was there that Wallis began to show her personality: everything comes first. When she was seven years old, one day Miss O 'Donnell asked her class, "Who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London?" A little boy sitting behind Wallis stood up first and replied loudly, "guy fawkes!" -It's just that this is the correct answer Wallis wants to answer. In a rage, she grabbed the wooden pencil box and hit the boy hard on the head.

10, Wallis entered the fashionable arundel Girls' School (Arundel Girls' School) at 7 14 St. Paul Street, which is only a few houses away from her grandparents' home. Whenever a classmate laughs at her mother for taking in tenants, she hits them with thick soles.

Miss Carroll was then the principal of arundel School. Wallis often despised his authority, so he was recognized as rude and arrogant. Her rude words often stunned the teachers. Although Wallis often beaten at home and school, she is still so conceited, stubborn and stubborn. She studies all the knowledge and skills hard: basketball, sewing, cooking and history. Although she is not beautiful, when she is left out, she often has severe headaches and faints, but her enthusiasm, vitality and charm make her very prestigious. According to one of her classmates, her bony figure, masculine shoulders, "Indian" hair, face shape and protruding chin make her unique among girls of the same age, which can be said to be "outstanding". She always wears clean and tidy clothes, and her hair is neatly combed, because she knows that any untidiness on the musical instrument will attract a wooden comb or a cold shower. Her pencils are always sharp and her clothes and skirts are neatly ironed. No one has ever seen her chew gum or chew the remaining half of an apple.

She always studies her prey carefully.

/kloc-When she was 0/2 years old, Wallis became more rebellious, and her cleverness was unbearable. Her high-pitched and harsh voice, a series of questions, bold and confident expression and frequent and severe headaches made her a recognized unruly child. She patiently participated in various religious activities of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Warfield and Montague. Although she has never actually been baptized, both families are convinced that she has become a firm believer. In those days, young girls usually only sewed, cooked and prepared recipes, and only spent time dressing up and playing basketball, but Wallis began to pursue boys and plan his future very early. She wants to be a doctor, a scientist or an explorer.

19 1 1 year, Wallis went to Boland, middelburg, Virginia, which was a summer camp for rich children. There, Wallis fell in love with her first love. The person she has a crush on is Lloyd Tubb. Tabu is a handsome boy and has a lot of wealth to inherit. He looks as energetic as an athlete. Arundel and other girls in Boland are very envious of her perfect boyfriend. They asked each other how the least beautiful girl among them managed to catch up with the handsome guy they knew.

The secret of Wallis' success lies in her careful study of prey. Although she is not interested in football, she managed to learn every goal Tabu scored on the school football team. She knows how many minutes it took him to win the swimming championship, what ice cream he likes and his passion for skating in winter. Thanks to Tabu's friends. They quietly helped her realize her plan to capture Tabu.

Wallis knows how to greet boys and how to enhance their self-confidence. She boldly stroked the boy's strong arm, although it was considered a bit excessive and indecent. She also knows how to please the Tabu family. In Glilona, a magnificent pre-war Washington, there is a big court bar in front of the door, and her crisp laughter often ripples. In that long summer, she spent many precious afternoons there. She and Lloyd read the epic of the French Empire to each other and read booth tarkington's best-selling book "Good Friends" together. Often you watch a few paragraphs and I watch a few paragraphs. Interestingly, she especially likes the story about the king and queen, and the description of how civilians attract the attention of the royal family and win their favor.

"There are dozens of photos of the prince hanging in her room."

Like thousands of young girls at that time, Wallis fell in love with the legendary heir to the British throne-17-year-old blond prince of Wales. There are dozens of photos of the prince hanging in her room. She also edited all the reports about the prince and kept an eye on his every move. Wallis graduated from Oldfield 19 14. Varis is eighteen years old. According to traditional customs, it's time to take part in some social activities in public. Here's the chance: this is the most important event for all young girls in Baltimore in a year. One-man four-pair dance was the highest social gathering at that time-the girl's participation in this dance was a guarantee of her social status. Only 49 girls out of 500 were lucky enough to be invited. This grand and grand dance will be held in the Grand Theatre as usual on the first Thursday of June+February, 5438. Mixed with the complex psychology of excitement, worry and depression, Wallis was so excited that he couldn't sleep. There was only one question in his heart: Will she be one of the 49 lucky people?

Finally, the fateful morning came, and she tore open the envelope in a hurry. There is a priceless invitation in it! What she has to do now is to find a way to buy clothes, invite a family member to accompany her, and prepare decorative flowers on the clothes.

Wallis can only impress Uncle Solomon with sweet words and persuade him to support her as much as possible. In the end, my uncle gave her 20 dollars-at least enough to buy 30 clothes, which is an unimaginable sum. Wallis made a dress with all his money, only one.

This is a white satin evening dress, which is exactly the same as the Voss dress sewn by the famous ballroom dancer Eileen Castle in Paris. It took her longer to learn the solo and the new tango. She also greatly improved her Waltz skills.

At the dance, Wallis danced for hours and almost broke his leg. Whenever a new dance partner comes, she focuses all her attention on the other person and never talks about herself. As a result, young people will come back to her again and again. Although among the girls that day, she may belong to the least beautiful one, but she is smart and charming, and she knows it very well. Seeing the prince for the first time

At the age of 25, I met my idol Prince of Wales for the first time.

Since that wonderful and glorious night, Varis began to think of herself as a woman. Wallis is really a male fan: she is not even afraid of being gossiped, and has started a series of inexplicable and dazzling affairs. 19 14, 1 June, 2008, she and her cousin went to visit the newly established naval air center base and met the handsome officer Earl winfield Spencer, who became her first husband.

1920 An important event happened on April 7th. The Prince of Wales and his cousin louis mountbatten arrived in San Diego on their way to Australia on the cruiser Fame. The young prince, thin and short, with blond hair and blue eyes, looked charming and easy-going, and soon conquered the whole of San Diego. At 2: 30 pm, he and mountbatten came to the seaside, shook hands with the veterans returning from the battlefield, and then gave a speech to about 25,000 people in the auditorium.

Wallis must have resented not being invited to a grand luncheon for the prince on the deck of the battleship New Mexico, and then being received by the prince on the rustu and the Royal Navy. It is quite possible that winfield's drinking, misbehavior and conflict with his boss finally brought this harsh social punishment.

Wallis and winfield attended the Mayor's Ball at the Coronado Hotel that night. However, her self-esteem was hit again, and her name did not appear on the guest list of the dinner party. Varis just saw from a distance the prince in the summer white uniform of the Royal Navy shaking hands with countless people. The prince left early.

Although Wallis must have been very excited when he saw his girlhood idol, this exciting experience was immediately swallowed up by the shadow of marriage.

Unfortunately, in her first marriage, she indulged herself.

In May, Alice came to visit Wallis and found that she was very sad. Winfield stayed almost all night. Occasionally, when he was at home, he either knocked on the table or smashed furniture. He said he would go back to Florida, where he fell in love with a girl.

192 1 In the spring of, Wallis and winfield moved into Brighton Hotel Apartment on California Avenue. She soon regretted making this decision. Winfield's hysterical shouts often wake up the whole hotel in the middle of the night. Winfield locked her in the bathroom for hours. He often gets drunk and has an affair with other women, maybe even men. In the end, Wallis had to choose a divorce.

Divorce is an unprecedented scandal for the montague family and the Warfield family. Alice and Bessie are menstruating, trying to persuade her to give up the idea. Since then, her husband has served in China, and China is obviously a place not suitable for young women, which makes her behavior more acceptable than a divorced woman. She began to meet many old friends frequently again.

At the reception hosted by the Italian embassy, Wallis made eyes at the charming Italian ambassador, and she achieved her goal. Later, Wallis began to pay attention to the 35-year-old First Secretary of the Argentine Embassy, Felipe Espil. Wallis must step up his action and can't miss any chance. She managed to get herself invited to a party, and so did Espil. The ugly duckling took out all the courage and determination Wellington had in planning the Battle of Waterloo and began to plan how to lure Felipe Espil to bed. With her usual flattery, Wallis really captured him from the courtesan in Washington. Their extramarital affairs became the number one scandal in Washington.

1926 On Christmas Day, Wallis accepted the invitation of her old friend Mary Laffray to spend Christmas in new york. Her decision to go to new york led to a chance meeting, which turned her into Mrs Simpson. A tortuous experience

"Brilliant" Mrs Simpson changed her fate through marriage.

In front of Wallis, there is no shortcut in life. Her father died young, and only her mother spent a poor and turbulent childhood. She knows that she can only rely on herself. When she was in her prime, she carefully managed and married Spencer of the Admiralty. Unfortunately, after marriage, she found that her husband was not only an alcoholic, but also having an affair with other women. He is wild in the army and has no future. After trying to mend the relationship, her first marriage still ended in divorce. She is no longer Mrs. Spencer, nor is she a girl who can expect marriage to change her destiny. She became Wallis again, a poor divorced woman.

During the low tide of his life, Wallis actively broadened his social contacts. Here comes the opportunity again. She broke into the life of a married man and became a middle class, known as Mrs Simpson. Although her aggression is disgraceful, there are two explanations for "ambition" in English, one is aggressiveness and the other is ambition. Wallis' ambition was awakened. How can she be content to be Mrs Simpson? With this identity and Simpson's social relationship, she finally came to Prince Edward.

How did a woman who had been married twice conquer Edward VIII, the most important man in England? In terms of appearance, she is not as beautiful as usual. As far as figure is concerned, she is skinny, and skinny beauty was not popular at that time. What's more, Edward was surrounded by all kinds of lovers from the beginning of the prince. The prince's lover is by no means an idle generation. They are as beautiful and charming as Selma, as full of personality as Beryl, a female pilot who flies a plane, and as passionate and infatuated as Mrs Dudley ... In addition to these lovers with no social status, there are a bunch of princesses with noble status who are all looking forward to marrying the king.

Wallis defeated them and conquered Edward's erratic heart with her unparalleled charm. Her broad interests make them like each other; Her witty jokes and wise comments impressed him; He was amazed at her extraordinary taste in clothes, and her shrewd means finally made the king obey, thus capturing the future king of England. But the reality beyond love is that an American woman who has been divorced twice cannot be accepted by the British royal family. The king who "would rather die than surrender" resolutely gave up his supreme position and defected to love.

This is not so much a biography as a "self-help book for women". Mrs Simpson is simply one of the most outstanding screenwriters. She writes about the ups and downs of life, often turning the tide and seeing glory in the plain. As for the end, she is still only one step away from the throne. She is just a screenwriter, and the ending is up to the producer and director. Seriously, that's an old saying of China: "Hit seven inches, it's hard to find the next step." But after such a life course, she can survive and keep the love of the king's life. She is at least a legend. The crown prince had a whim

193 1 June, on a whim, the Crown Prince played an old trick that had been put on hold for a long time, put on casual clothes, dressed as an ordinary helper, boarded the train and went out to play alone. The train is empty, so big a box, except the crown prince, there is only one single woman. The woman is blonde, bright eyes and white teeth, thick lips, plump and delicious. There are many kinds of customs between words, and you walk gracefully. The crown prince peeped for a long time and his heart beat. He couldn't help but break the husband's habit of being cold in front of women and take the initiative to chat up single women. They talked about everything, from the foggy days in London to the Atlantic winds, from brandy in France to castles in Spain, and the more they talked, the more they got out of hand. For the first time, the 37-year-old Crown Prince devoted himself wholeheartedly and felt happy both physically and mentally. This woman is from America on the other side of the Atlantic, Mrs Simpson, who contributed to the anecdote of the abdication of the British king. Up to now, Mrs Simpson still doesn't know the real identity of the Crown Prince, and still regards the British man who accosted her as an ordinary worker.

After the train came back, the Crown Prince and Mrs Simpson fell in love at first sight and became bosom friends. The two often date and are inseparable. Both of them hang out in high-end dance halls and low-end bars. On the Thames yacht, on the banks of the Danube in Vienna and on the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy, the laughter of the Crown Prince and the gentle singing of Mrs Simpson were left everywhere. The two of them, a charming girl and a stunning city, became the focus of news and the object of people's street talk for a time. Some people talked about the possibility of Mrs Simpson becoming an English princess, but this speculation was immediately denied by people who knew the British royal succession practice. Although Mrs Simpson has the color of sinking fish and falling geese, and indeed reveals the spirit of elegance and luxury, she is several years older than the Crown Prince, married and born in poverty. Not only that, Mrs Simpson is also an American citizen. Arrogant Britons will never accept a married American woman as the future queen of their country. This is detrimental to the great reputation of the British Empire! The crown prince's love for Mrs Simpson is probably just a farce. Evaluation of her

Mrs Simpson is an American, formerly known as Wallis Warfield, and comes from a civilian family. She lost her father in her early years and received a good secondary education, but she could not go to college. He married a soldier for the first time, a businessman Mr Simpson for the second time, and then moved to England. What tricks did the enigmatic Wallis use to steal the heart of the king of England?

Wallis has American-style independent spirit, strong will, humor and optimism, unique opinions, and is also very feminine. She is not beautiful, but she is light, elegant and cultured. The home she decorated is very comfortable; Her American dinner will win the appreciation of the king; She can make this tired and lonely man say what he can't say to anyone. Just like knowing her own mind, she knows every word and sentence of this man ... What kind of beauty has the prince never seen? Sooner or later, the face will age. He accepted her whole person and an interesting lifestyle created by this person. The prince is interested in Wallis' small cocktail table. Tables and wine-all we see are rich lifestyles. What the prince experiences is warmth, comfort, sincerity and calmness, which also belongs to the essence of life and needs to be cherished. It is a place where wandering souls can stop and settle down.

Varis in the eyes of the prince is a mysterious, novel and unpredictable woman. Of course she will get her sunshine. However, for better or worse, love is not very reasonable. She can let the prince say to her alone: I will never give up on you. Never regret it. If I had to choose again, I would choose you-as a woman, that's enough. What else do you want from her? [Edit this paragraph] The most touching love story in history

King George V and Queen Mary of England have six children. The Prince of Wales is the eldest son. He became Edward VIII after he succeeded to the throne. After he was forced to give up the throne, he was made Duke of Windsor. Mrs Simpson always calls him David.

The Prince of Wales studied at the Royal Naval Academy and served in the Grenadier Guard during the First World War ... This "popular prince" is also a gentleman with graceful demeanor and human touch. He has a weak young face, black eyes, a high nose and blond hair. This appearance, coupled with the supreme dignity of the royal family, made him a dream figure in a woman's heart. At the age of 22, the prince and the duke's daughter Rosemary fell in love at first sight, but were forcibly separated by the king and his wife. The royal family simply could not accept free love. The royal family found 18 young princesses for him from the European royal family, but they were also rejected by the prince. The prince freely associates with some women according to his own taste, and two of them have maintained a close relationship for a long time.

The British royal family has been paying close attention to the prince's actions. Of course, the prince didn't know that his undisturbed love was only five years. Then, love will "evolve into a terrible ending." This was foreseen by the old king George V. The old king said: After my death, this child will destroy himself within 12 months.

1936 was really a disastrous year for Britain. On October 28th, 65438/KLOC-0, George V died and the prince succeeded to the throne. After the ceremony, the new king said to Mrs Simpson: Nothing can change my feelings for you. Then he left with a smile. In May, Wallis began the divorce procedure. In August, the new king took his beloved woman to the Mediterranean for a holiday. At first, everything was wonderful. In Martha, Yugoslavia, local people dressed in colorful national costumes cheered around the king and Wallis. At night in Albania's small fishing port, the deposited mountain suddenly lit the torch array, and thousands of farmers held torches and sang songs to welcome the king. The king joked that it was all for Wallis, because they knew that the king was in love with her ... but soon, the happiness ebbed, and the news of the British king's love broke out in American newspapers, and the news was fed back to the British Isles like a virus. 165438+ 10, the king officially informed Prime Minister Baldwin, commonly known as "John Bull", that he would marry Wallis. Baldwin attacked the king with the ruling crisis department where the cabinet chief resigned. The British media will also disclose this scandal. The royal family was humiliated. They laid down a route for the king: Mrs Simpson must leave England at once. Later, it became two: either the woman left; Or the king abdicates. 65438+February 1 1, the king delivered a farewell radio address, announcing that he would give up the throne in order to marry his beloved woman. The Duke of Windsor was king for only 325 days, and even before the coronation ceremony, he abdicated for love. The storm of love triggered a political storm.

As soon as the news came out that the king was going to marry Wallis, the family was surrounded, strangers were recording their whereabouts, threatening letters and critical letters were sent out one after another, and someone was going to assassinate her. Wallis moved to Bellevue Palace and was forced to go to France.

Except for three or two friends, the king who stayed in England was fighting almost alone. A friend advised David to accept compromise, nominal marriage and marriage, but the wife did not enjoy the title of husband. David decided to step back and accept the humiliation. Baldwin didn't want to spare the king. He resolutely opposed and even rejected the king's request to submit this marriage issue to the National Assembly for legislative procedures-this is the famous "serious constitutional dispute"-and the king completely broke with the cabinet. The king turned to the queen and his three younger brothers for help. The queen thinks that she can't agree with this marriage that is detrimental to the dignity of the royal family, and she resolutely refuses to recognize this daughter-in-law and refuses to give Wallis the title of "Duchess". The king said that he would rather abdicate if his marriage failed. The queen said that if you don't become king, your brother will be fine-the royal family cruelly closed their son's door. People were stunned. Women in the whole empire regard Wallis as a bad woman who stole the king-the people betrayed the king. The media is even more ecstatic about this storm, saying that Wallis is unscrupulous, scheming and ruthless ... For them, betrayal is not important, and justice first gives way to interests.

Only Bernard Shaw, Churchill and Bevy Brock supported the king. Churchill defended the king in the House of Representatives according to the Constitution, and defended Bev Brock in the media ... Churchill said that the king wanted to marry the woman he loved, why not? David has been loyal to England for 25 years. After living in France, there is not a day when he doesn't miss his motherland. His motherland accepted him again after his death and buried him in the royal cemetery of Windsor Castle. Wallis was buried with the Duke after his death, but this only shows that the royal family made a limited settlement. The tombstone is still engraved with the words "Wallis, Duchess of Windsor", but it is still not called "Your Highness".
