One chance encounter with Simpson leads to a life of misfortune: The love story behind the Duke of Windsor who does not love country but beauty.

It is very interesting to read history. For example, the Duke of Windsor, who is very familiar to everyone, has been spread all over the world that he did not love the country but loved the beauty. The story that he accidentally met Simpson and ended his life has been circulated for decades, but it turned out that there was There are more than 20 lovers, big and small, including men and women, old and young, nobles, stars and commoners. It's really exciting! One of them was the grandmother of Princess Diana, and a quick calculation showed that there was no confusion about the generations! The Duke of Windsor, also known as Edward VIII, is Prince Charles' great-uncle, so he is of the same generation and age as Diana's grandmother, although Diana herself is 13 years younger than Charles.

The British royal family has been secretive about the abdicated king who behaved indulgently and was rumored to be pro-Nazi. In 2015, a tabloid (yes, the infamous "The Sun") intercepted a scene from the royal family video of the Queen and her mother performing the Nazi military salute together in front of Edward VIII when she was a child, and publicly published it on the headlines edition, although the British people and other media who prefer the royal family have criticized "The Sun" for being too vulgar and defending the Queen's young age and the fact that the Nazis had not yet revealed their genocide, the royal family still had to stand up and say " Regretful", and pointed out that if "The Sun" wants to imply anything through this, "it is misleading and dishonest" ~

Looking at this image, it seems that the Queen Mother and her eldest brother-in-law, the then Prince of Wales (later known as The Duke of Windsor) had a good relationship, but it is said that she hated Mrs. Simpson throughout her life. This is another story! If you are interested in this piece of gossip, please read: The Queen Mother Elizabeth and the Duchess of Windsor’s sisters-in-law’s past.

In fact, although the "Sun" report deliberately used the Queen's image to sensationalize, in the written report, it did not dare to imply that the Queen sympathized with the Nazis. It just repeated a paragraph that everyone knew The fact that he knows but is unwilling to publicize because he wants to save face for the royal family is that the protagonist of this article, the Duke of Windsor, is indeed a Nazi sympathizer.

In 1937, the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Simpson visited Germany and met Hitler at his holiday villa. The Duke of Windsor performed a complete Nazi salute, and the British *** was very Not happy. About him and Mrs. Simpson (strangely, she is titled the Duchess of Windsor, Simpson is just one of her three husbands, but everyone still prefers to call her Mrs. Simpson) and the Nazis, providing intelligence to the Nazis in exchange for returning to the throne , including the story of Mrs. Simpson’s relationship with a senior Nazi official who was a lover. Today, we will not go into details. The focus returns to the many love histories of the male protagonist.

A prince with more than 20 lovers, today, he would be known as a "stamp collector"! As for whether there will be a large number of girls shouting "husband" on his Facebook page, you can imagine it from looking at his photos (at least he is more handsome than Sicong!) He is gentle and a little melancholy. From the above With the most aristocratic aura, this photo is expected to kill a lot of young men today~

However, this "young man" from 80 years ago prefers married women. No wonder his father George When the fifth generation saw him, he wanted to scold him and said, "As long as I die, this child will destroy himself within a year!" He was very reluctant to let him inherit the throne.

George V, who died suddenly, would not know that after his death, the eldest son he did not like would inherit his throne, and what he would never have imagined was that, just a few months later, he would The eldest son abandoned the responsibilities of the country and the royal family and gave up the throne in order to marry the twice-divorced Mrs. Simpson!

The only thing that made him happy about this incident was probably that the throne finally went to his favorite second son, George VI, and was passed on to his favorite granddaughter, Lilibet (Lilibet). Lilibet is the nickname of Queen Elizabeth II. George V still has good taste. Lilibet, who has become the great-grandmother, is currently the longest-reigning British king)

On December 11, 1936, Edward VIII, who had signed the abdication document the day before, announced his decision to abdicate to the world via radio (live broadcast worldwide!), and issued a passage that can be called a declaration of love in the last century: "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love." Together, I cannot bear the heavy responsibility of being a king and perform the duties of a king." In short, nothing can be done without Simpson! From then on, he became the infatuated hero of love passed down from generation to generation.

Today we are going to dig into the dark history of this crazy person! The twenty-four lovers can be divided into several groups, such as "married women", "noble ladies", "illegal occupations", "actors and stars", "exotics", and another category that is shocking "homosexual"! Of course, the existence of this group can also explain why there are gossips on the market that are more curious than the big-mouthed Song Zude, saying that Mrs. Simpson was originally a man.

The lovers who have the greatest influence on the prince are mainly married women. Everyone is familiar with Mrs. Simpson as his last lover and the end of his absurd love history. She was not divorced when she was with Edward, and the divorce was only finalized two months before the infatuated king abdicated. They had been together for several years at that time.

When they first started dating, the special team of the London police department secretly followed them, and the person who came back to report said that "that woman completely controlled the POW (Prince of Wales when he was still the Prince of Wales)" "In the palm of your hand." What is particularly interesting about this is that even though the American media extensively reported on their affair, the British media loyal to the royal family did not say a word until December 1936, when Edward and *** almost fell out over their marriage to Simpson. Britain can't cover it up.

Before Simpson, Edward also maintained long-term relationships with several married women. Mrs. Furness, who introduced him to his fellow American Simpson, was one of his most important lovers. When she and Edward traveled to the African savanna in Kenya in 1930, Mrs. Furness wrote in her diary: "It's like there are only two of us in the world... This is our Garden of Eden... Every night I am more addicted to The love between us..." In the end, she was introduced to her lover by a fellow countryman who fought for her love. Only she knew the feeling~

The other one was even more exaggerated, arguing with Prince Edward The relationship lasted for 16 years! During these five years, she was married to Mrs. Furness, Mrs. Dudley Ward. It seems that enjoying lovers was also a trend at that time? Mrs. Dudley Ward seems to have introduced her sister, Mrs. Vera Lillian Seeley, to the prince in 1934. When Mrs. Simpson briefly left England for France, Edward had a heated relationship with Mrs. Seeley, and ended up with her. As for later people thought that Mrs. Seeley's son Tim Seeley was Edward's illegitimate son. Tim was born on June 10, 1935 (the dates coincide). He is a TV and stage actor who also played the King of England in a comedy.

Prince Edward, who had just returned to London after the First World War, also used to focus on the aristocratic ladies. It was at this time that he had a relationship with Princess Diana's grandmother, Lady Cynthia Hamilton, and Lady Dianna Cooper. , Lady Rachel Cavendish, etc., etc., are all classical beauties as gentle as jade. In the eyes of mortals like me, they are hundreds of times more beautiful than Mrs. Simpson, but everyone has their own preferences.

In addition to the aristocratic ladies and ladies of his country, Edward's stamp collection also has a global perspective. American star Frances Day and actor Mildred Harris, the wife of comedy master Chaplin, were all his prey~ American actor and singer Frances Day was very popular in the UK in the 1930s, and Chaplin’s young wife was famous for her Unable to tolerate Chaplin's mental abuse, she filed for divorce and was awarded $100,000 in alimony. After the divorce, she had a brief affair with the prince.

What is even more bizarre is the love story between Miss Millicent Milroy, a Canadian female teacher, and the prince. When Edward visited Canada and was bored playing around Ottawa, he saw her in her garden, and a love affair began. For the prince, this was just an affair on a boring journey, but for the female teacher, it was a lifelong memory. When the Duke of Windsor (formerly Prince Edward) died in 1972, Milroy carved a tombstone for himself. The tombstone read: Millicent Milroy, daughter of James and Helen Milroy, wife of Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor. It can be said that once you see the prince, you will be mistaken for life!

This romantic prince did not stop there, his "devil's claws" also extended to his cousin Louis Mountbatten (Louis Mountbatten). Of course, it is also possible that the initiator was the later famous Marshal Mountbatten. Yes, this Louis Mountbatten later became the British Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia. When he was the Governor-General of India in 1947, he proposed the "Mountbatten Plan" to divide India and Pakistan. He is also the elder of the current Queen of England and her husband Prince Philip (who is also his nephew. The royal family is basically a marriage between relatives, and Charles and Camilla are also relatives). He single-handedly arranged their first meeting.

Another legendary homosexual of Prince Edward is also an army officer, also named Edward, Edward Metcalfe (Edward Metcalfe). They met in 1922 when the prince was traveling in India. Very quickly, the two hit it off immediately.

The prince insisted on making him his squire and affectionately called him Fruity. After more than twenty years, this Edward has been by his side, from when he was the Prince of Wales, to Edward VIII, to the Duke of Windsor, he has always been by his side, as his lover, friend, equerry and nanny. Take him home while drunk and get him into bed. He even served as best man when the Duke of Windsor married Mrs. Simpson!

No matter how ridiculous his youth, the Duke of Windsor eventually fell into the hands of Wallace Simpson. Although Simpson complained to his uncle in a letter: "Why is there such a clingy man?" he eventually married him. As for the Duke of Windsor, love is his spell. "No matter who he falls in love with, he will become the slave of the other person wholeheartedly, completely dependent on the other person. This is his nature, he can be regarded as a masochist." , he just likes to be humble and lower his status.

He wants this! ”
