      ...And I stopped after reading that they had left the jewels to "the family" and that they auctioned them and, in a gesture of detachment, they donated the amount obtained to the Pasteur Institute. WHICH FAMILY???!!!
      The truth, widely known, is that in their will, the dukes leave the jewels to the Pasteur Institute, as a token of gratitude to the French government for providing them with a home in Paris and not charging them taxes during the decades they lived there.

    The Duchess of Windsor had an incredible jewelry collection. Her collection rivaled any heiress or royal of the time. All of her jewels were bold and interesting. I like all of the pieces, but the Cartier flamingo brooch might be my favorite. How many women can say they have a Cartier flamingo brooch as adornment?

      Yes, but Donating them to be auctioned off for Charity was very generous indeed. These Charities would’ve never received anything like this had Wallis not received them. They certainly benefited which was a lovely thing to happen. I applaud her actions
      and believe her donation to be a final act of love.

    She was just a middle-class girl from Baltimore who made it big. Ambitious. Very intelligent. But she paid her price. A lifetime anchored to a 'nebbish', shunned British royal. Lots of parties. Lots of shopping. What fun it all must have been! But, later, the show is over. You end up a total ageing decrepit wreck, being abused by servants. Had it all been worth it? Who knows what her thoughts could have been in he final moments? Truth is that Wallis Simpson was not quite bright enough to understand that she was on a hiding to nothing. RIP.

    • @ladydamiana6841
      @ladydamiana6841 5 месяцев назад +1

      He was Prince of Wales (what is the price of whales these days?) for several decades and saved a large percentage of that annual income before he was King. After he abdicated, it was negotiated that his brother, George VI, would pay him an additional yearly income in return for handing over Sandringham and Balmoral, which he inherited as private property from George V. Some sources say that Elizabeth II continued the payments for the rest of Wallis's life, but that's unclear.
