The handsome Edward VIII
Who is the "woman" in Edward VIII's speech, and what charm makes the king willingly give up the throne and live with her?
Unwilling to fate, the girl became a master of communication.
The daughter's original name was Bessie Wallis Warfield, but later she was changed to wallis simpson because of her husband's name. Wallis wants status, but he has no status. 1896 was born in June in Pennsylvania, USA. At that time, she was born before she married her mother. Born five months ago, died of tuberculosis. From then on, Wallis lived alone with his mother, and his family was poor, so he had to rely on his uncle for help. Mother and daughter have no plans for the future, so they can only take it one step at a time. Being able to satisfy their food and clothing is a greater satisfaction. At this moment, the opportunity quietly came to the mother and son.
Elegant Wallis
190 1 year, Wallis' menstruation became a city. Because the home is empty and lonely, five-year-old Wallis and his mother moved into a spacious house during their menstruation. As Wallis grew up, she had her own goal and ideal, that is, to have a big house like menstruation. However, she knew that this dream was so far away. Because my mother can't even pay the tuition. Going to school is a bridge to realize your dreams, and now you have no chance to step on it.
When Wallis 1 1 was old, she was old enough to go to school, but her mother remained silent. Wallis knew in her heart what her mother's silence meant. She watched those children of the same age go to school and leave school. She was envious. When my uncle knew it, he didn't blame his sister, but took the initiative to bear all the tuition fees of little Wallis. 19 12 to 19 14 With the help of his uncle, Wallis attended oldfield, a better girls' school in Maryland.
19 10 American schools
In oldfield school, either dignitaries or girls from Fu Jia family, so little Wallis met many upper-class classmates there. Among them are Renee Dupont, a descendant of dupont family with a history of 200 years, and Mary Cork, the daughter of the Cork family, a silverware manufacturer, and so on. Mixing with these rich girls, regardless of their grades, gradually developed a quality, that is, self-confidence, and sometimes even extreme self-confidence, fearless. Some people will say that this kind of personality is very easy to cause trouble and it is difficult to go anywhere. Let's just say that you don't have a strong family background and support. This kind of self-confidence also represents an enterprising spirit, and will not care about the eyes of others and dare to do it. Wallis is notoriously rebellious, cheerful and fierce at school. This period of school laid the foundation for her future contacts.

1965438+In May 2006, 20-year-old Wallis went to Florida to visit her cousin. On the way, her fate came unexpectedly. She met one of her husbands. A naval pilot named winfield Spencer. Winfield Spencer is a real alcoholic. He never forgets to have a drink before driving. Therefore, there was an accident in a flight and the plane crashed into the sea, but Spencer miraculously survived. But his drinking hobby hasn't changed. Then, when World War I broke out, Spencer took part in the war as a pilot of the US Navy. Wallis went to the Far East to reunite with her husband because she was far away from him and felt lonely at home. The reason why Wallis can make such a bold decision is inseparable from her stubborn, strong and fearless personality.
Young Wallis
However, shortly after being reunited with her husband, Wallis became ill because of acclimatization and had to leave. She lived there for a while because there was an old photo of her. When her husband went to war, she couldn't bear loneliness, so she hooked up with a man named Philip Espil in the United States. But soon this person was transferred to China. Wallis couldn't resist loneliness and went to the Far East to find her husband. She came here specially because she was ill because of acclimatization. At that time, she made many friends with her excellent communication skills. Including the family of Gu Weijun, a famous diplomat. Gu Weijun's second wife, Huang Huilan, was impressed by Wallis. She recalled: "Wallis can only say one sentence in Chinese,' Young man, pass me a glass of champagne'." Only this can make boys feel like a spring breeze. An Italian diplomat who had dealt with her described her as "excellent in speech, comfortable with different people and able to make them happy". Wallis seems to be a social expert.
Mrs. Gu Weijun Huang Huilan
Some people will say that the key to opening the social door is a pleasing face, but Wallis is not a beauty. Her skeleton is big, her nose is shaped like the sun, her face is flat and hard, and her skin is not white. It can be said that it did not meet the standards of tall and beautiful women at that time. But she has four advantages that many women can't achieve, namely, cheerful and bold personality, funny conversation, elegant manners and extraordinary taste in clothes. Even Wallis Ben admits that he is not outstanding. Later, when she appeared on the cover of Time and became one of the "Women of the Year", she said, "I am ordinary, so the only thing I can do is to dress more delicately than others". Even an ordinary silk shirt and a conservative woolen knee-length skirt can show extraordinary taste on her.

This is the charm of such a woman without beauty, filters and other high-tech face-changing times. In the era of high-tech face change, women can't walk into reality. They can only confuse men through illusory camouflage. When they meet, that is, when the disguise is torn, men will turn around mercilessly. And a woman who captures a man's heart through her own temperament and charm will be unable to extricate herself once a man sinks in. For a woman, such a man will do things that he can't even believe.
Now compare the stars and beauties before and after.
Now, Wallis has let many people appreciate the communication style of this American woman at that time. After World War I, he and his husband Spencer returned to the United States. But when they really get along, Wallis discovers something in this world that she can't stand. He is not only an alcoholic, but also a madman in private, an emotional, violent and jealous madman. In recent years, Wallis has seen the world and dealt with all kinds of men. She can't stand her husband's hysteria and thinks he is not good enough for her. So, she broke up. 1925, she and her husband Spencer began to separate, but they did not divorce.

A year later, in1926+February, Wallis met a man named Ernest Simpson at a birthday party. This man used to be the captain of the Queen's Infantry Guard. At that time, the shipping industry was at its peak, and he seized the opportunity to engage in this industry. With his connections and status, he soon became a famous shipping tycoon. At that Christmas party, when the shipping tycoon met Wallis, who was 3 1 year old, he was completely captured by her humorous language, elegant manners and cheerful personality. Although he has a wife, he can't help but pursue Wallis fiercely. Similarly, Ernest Simpson's identity, status and wealth touched Wallis' heart. She couldn't resist the man's pursuit, and then they fell in love.
Fashionable Wallis
From 1927 to 1928, Wallis and Simpson did three great things: first, Wallis divorced her husband Spencer; Second, Simpson divorced his wife; Thirdly, Wallis officially became Simpson's woman, known as "Mrs Simpson". Simpson is engaged in shipping business in London, and lives in a house in the upper class of Meffer in London with several servants. Wallis followed her husband Simpson to London. Here, Wallis will open a new chapter in her life.
Quiet Wallis
Open a new chapter in life
In London, in the social circle where women gather, Wallis' social talents have been further demonstrated. There, she met a ghost named Ermasuo. This man is not simple. On the one hand, he was the wife of others, and on the other hand, he was the lover of the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), who was still the crown prince at that time. At that time, Wallis didn't know that Marceau's lover was the Prince of Wales, but she did meet the Prince of Wales at a party held by Ermarceau in 1930. Actually, this is not a meeting between two people. Six months ago, the Prince of Wales came across Wallis while hunting. At that time, the two had a brief chat. The Prince of Wales remembered this humorous and optimistic woman. At this party, when the two met for the second time, the Prince of Wales began to praise Wallis's dress. Surprisingly, the prince left early that day, but he has been waiting for someone outside the door. When Wallis and her husband Simpson came out, the prince took the initiative to send the couple home. Although her husband Simpson has 10 thousand kinds of unwillingness, he is not even qualified to refuse.
The young and humorous Prince of Wales
Gradually, Wallis became a frequent visitor to Belvander Palace, Prince of Wales. She likes to socialize, especially in the aristocratic circle, and she can easily exert her communication skills. This made the prince of Wales, who was originally interested in her, gradually fall in love with her. 1933, Elmako, the lover of the Prince of Wales, went to new york, USA. Wallis took her place and became the lover of the Prince of Wales.
Edward and the Prince of Wales
Wallis and her husband Simpson were not divorced at that time, so everything was done in secret. Wallis is still called "Mrs Simpson" by the outside world and has been passed down to this day. Men are often stingy with their wives, but reckless with their lovers. The Prince of Wales has this strength. In the same year, the Prince of Wales personally hosted a birthday party for Wallis in a bigger hotel in London. At this point, Wallis' husband Simpson has seen the fishy thing, but he can't and dare not pierce enough paper. The Prince of Wales is a prince and will be the monarch of Britain in the future. Wallis has been wandering between two men. She doesn't want to let go of either side.
Wallis and her husband Simpson
She wants the Prince of Wales to be infatuated with and dependent on herself, and also to show her attachment to her husband in the depths of the ocean. She wants to walk with the Prince of Wales, because behind him is the throne, and she may also become the queen. After seeing the charm of wealth, a person will be more eager for identity and status. The Prince of Wales can give her the supremacy among women. This is too big for her. But she must turn herself into the eyes and heart of the Prince of Wales. She did it, and it was very successful. Finally, how infatuated and dependent the Prince of Wales is on Wallis can be seen from his (her) frequent love letters before.
Prince of Wales and Wallis
Love in prince's love letter
In the love letter, the prince of Wales, who was aloof in front of everyone, signed "David" at the end of the letter. This is the Christian name of the Prince of Wales, and only his closest friends know it. It can be seen that the Prince of Wales has regarded Wallis as his closest relative. In the letter, Wales affectionately called Wallis a "girl" while he himself called him a "boy". In a scrawled letter, Wales wrote affectionately: "Tonight, we can't meet again, which is terrible for me. I wish I could give you a ring. " Let you wear it tonight and never take it off, because it symbolizes our pure love. May God love you, and I love you too. "
Scribbled love letter
In another letter, Wales wrote:
"Baby, it's a terrible thing to have to go back to Sandriham Palace before I can take a look at my beloved girl. But I'll call you when I get there, dear Wallis. You really have no idea how much I love you. Seeing you is my greatest wish. It's wonderful to hug you tightly. For a boy, your enlightenment is so important that I can't live without you more and more. "

Wales can't wait to officially walk with Wallis. At a party in Buckingham Palace, the Welsh plucked up the courage to introduce Wallis to his mother, Queen Mary. This made mother and George V very angry. But Wales, already immersed in love, has long ignored other people's eyes and even stopped listening to parents' imperative words. He used money and jewels to please Wallis and took her to enjoy the trip. At this time, although Wallis was still married, she did not refuse Wales to express her love for him. This behavior in Wales was not only opposed by parents, but also caused dissatisfaction among courtiers. As the future king, he is deeply in love and has seriously affected his daily affairs. He didn't listen to anyone's advice and was so obsessed and dependent on Wallis that the whole world said Wallis gave him the job. There are thousands of ways for women to fascinate men in the world, but the most powerful one is the woman who can capture men's hearts. Wallis is such a woman.
Queen Mary and George V.
Once, Edward and Wallis had a quarrel. There was a brief cold war between them, and finally Wales gave in. He wrote Wallis a letter full of apologies:
"Baby, I'm so desperate now. You can't do this to me, because it's terrible to abandon our happy future after a quarrel. We should talk in another way. Neither words nor writing can express my love for you. "
In the last line of the letter, he wrote with tears: "David is in your fear." Although Wales is a prince, it is also a man. Once a man is fascinated by a woman, he will completely lose himself. At this time, the heart of Wales was occupied by Wallis, and there was no room for anyone or anything else. He couldn't wait to blend his heart with Wallis' so that he could feel what she was thinking. At this point, he can't even give Wallis a wedding because he is staring at them.
Prince George V of Wales
The choice of kingship and love
1On October 20th, George V of Wales passed away. He succeeded in sitting on the British throne and was called Edward VIII. In front of everyone, he is the king of the country, but in front of Wallis alone, he is still the "David" or "little boy". After taking the throne, Edward took Wallis to Yugoslavia and Greece for a holiday. Wallis swims, walks and sunbathes with Edward in a bathing suit at the seaside in Athens. The king and Wallis are already very eye-catching, and Wallis is not shy about wearing swimsuit legs in public, which is even more surprising. Such a woman, at that time, made the woman look shy and the man looked at it at a loss.
on vacation
This rare news soon became a picture in American newspapers and periodicals. One of them made a bold prediction: If Mrs Simpson (Wallis) divorced her husband, King Edward would marry her immediately. When the news reached London, people from the church to Queen Mary (mother of Edward VIII) praised it greatly. Prime Minister Baldwin decided to intervene. There are two reasons: first, Wallis is a commoner and is not qualified to be the queen of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; Secondly, Edward VIII, as the head of England, married a woman who had been married twice, which violated the divorce rules of the Church of England.
Prime Minister Baldwin
When Prime Minister Baldwin explained these two reasons to the king, he didn't expect Edward VIII to show his cards directly: "Wallis is the only woman I love. I can't live without her. Without her sitting beside me, I would be absent-minded in dealing with state affairs. " This sentence blocked Prime Minister Baldwin's speech. He thinks the king is completely fascinated by that woman. Men value women more than status and power. This makes it difficult for men to understand men. Although the prime minister was helpless to the king, he decided to fight to the end and never let that humble second-married woman become the queen. In all the opposition, the relationship between Edward VIII and Wallis has not been affected at all, but has become closer. At least, Edward VIII loved Wallis more.
Edward and Wallis'.
1936 10 year1on October 27th, Wallis and her husband Simpson formally divorced. Edward VIII believed that he would marry Wallis soon. At first, the American article was written accurately, and what happened next seemed to be expected. In order to avoid what happened later, the British press kept silent. So, they issued a challenge that if the king's marriage was ignored, they would break the silence and publish a report. So, on Singles' Day in 1936, the king's private secretary wrote a letter to Edward, which threatened: "The throne is about to collapse, and now the governor has planned to resign. The only way to solve the crisis at present is to let Mrs Simpson leave Britain at once. " In fact, this is the last warning to Edward VIII, but everyone knows that this warning will not work for Edward VIII who is already deeply in love.
Edward and Wallis are together.
Just as the warning letter was issued, Prime Minister Baldwin called a meeting of senior cabinet decision makers to discuss emergency measures. The result is clear, unanimously opposed to the marriage between the king and Varis. After the meeting, the Prime Minister came to the palace again and said to the king in a warning tone: "This year, I don't think Mrs Simpson is fit to be queen. So if your majesty marries her, he can't continue to be king, and when he is king, he can't marry her. You can't have both. " The throne and marriage, as well as beauty, are placed in front of Edward at the same time, so he can choose between them. In fact, he is sincerely unwilling to give up the throne and wants to get married. To this end, Edward VIII put forward another plan: after he married Wallis, Wallis would not hold the title of queen, and their future children would not inherit the throne. However, this plan was still rejected by the cabinet. Seeing that you can't have both the throne and beauty, Edward lost his temper again and said, "If you want me to leave her, I have to choose." Nobody paid attention to Edward's behavior. Edward's heart is struggling painfully. He wrote to Wallis and said, "A boy has to ignore his beloved girl for a while and can't talk to her. Baby, I love you more and more, and any difference is for me. "
Wallis and Edward
At this time, the London press also broke the silence and published reports of Edward VIII and Wallis. Some people think that Edward's marriage is "great romance" and "great love of this century", and some even hold high the signs of "God saves the king" and "the king is not the prime minister". But most people agree with the royal family that Wallis is not qualified to be queen, and some even claim to blow up her house. When Edward heard that Wallis was threatened, he made a quick decision and moved in with Wallis. He comforted Wallis and said, "Even if I am alone with you, I am more happy than a crown, a scepter and a throne."
Two people together.
A choice that no one can undo.
For Wallis, her initial intention is to have status and status. Once Edward VIII abdicated for her, everything would go up in smoke. She tried to dissuade Edward from abdicating, but Edward at that time regarded her suggestion as "a painful sacrifice made by a woman for her lover." Because if he doesn't choose to abdicate, it means separating from Wallis, so the more Wallis persuades him, the more he has to pay for love. In the personal biography published in 1956, it is recorded that Wallis once confessed his ambition to menstruation, hoping that everything would be calm after Edward VIII ascended the throne and he would become a queen himself. But later, contrary to expectations, Edward would rather give up the throne than marry her, which was far beyond his imagination. She also predicted that if Edward VIII gave up the throne, their life would not be easy, because then their status would lose dignity and value, and they would only become notorious parasites at home and abroad. The two sessions are bored with each other in repression. In her eyes, Edward VIII is an emotionally immature Peter Pan, and she herself is Alice who stumbled into the country by mistake, so she can only write the story of Paradise Lost together.
Wallis and Edward snuggled up to each other.
At this time, even Wallis could not stop Edward VIII's decision to abdicate, and he did not hesitate for love. 193665438+February 1 1 day, Edward VIII announced that "without the help and support of the woman I love, I don't think I can shoulder the heavy responsibility" and immediately abdicated. Gave up the crown and scepter for love, including the whole royal family. From his accession to the throne to his abdication, he was only king for 325 days. This not only made him one of the shortest reigning kings in British history, but also made him the only king who abdicated voluntarily in British history. Because his reign was too short and his marriage with the church was very bad, he was never crowned during his reign.
1936 65438+February 1 1 Edward read the abdication statement.
After Edward VIII abdicated, his younger brother, as the heir of his brother, became the king of England and was called George VI. At that time, the whole royal family was shrouded in great shame, and this day was called "the shame day of the whole British people" by 《 George VI, who became king, created a title for his brother and former king-Duke of Windsor. From then on, Edward VIII became the Duke of Windsor. 1On June 3rd, 937, Edward finally got his wish and married Wallis in France. No one from the British royal family was present. At the same time, George VI deprived Wallis of the right to use the title of "Your Highness". This means that Wallis can only be called "Duchess of Windsor" after marriage, not "Her Royal Highness Duchess of Windsor".
Wallis and Edward in their later years
From 193 1, Edward fell in love with Wallis deeply, and to 1937, they finally came together. In the past six years, everything around Edward has changed with time, from crown prince to king to abdication. The only constant is his love for Wallis. He is madly in love, infatuated with love and unable to extricate himself. For this love, he gave up the throne at the expense of his parents, and even made the British royal family encounter a major crisis. In the next 36 years, no matter where they were, where they went and what difficulties they encountered, until 1972, Edward came to the last moment of his life, and his initial love remained unchanged.
The above has something to do with the woman Longnan finally married, and it is about the sharing of Edward VIII. I hope this will help everyone after reading which zodiac women are taboo by sheep men!
