- This series, produced in association with the BBC, chronicles the lives of the most important and well-known figures of the 20th century, whether they be politicians, musicians, or sports stars.
Queen Mary died in 1953.
In 1967, the Duke returned to England for the centenary celebration of the late Queen Mary.
It was his sister in law Princess Marina that died in 1968.
The funeral of Princess Marina was the last royal ceremony attended by the Duke of Windsor.
Well well well.....sounds similar to the current situation with h and m.
was thinking exactly the same thing. right down to the "state visit experience" if she's not cosplaying Diana it's the Duchess of Windsor
so strange
They weren't trapped in the Bahamas they had no choice but to go there since MI6 saw them as a threat to the war effort so put them as far away as possible
Britain never mourned the Duke. It was good riddance to bad rubbish, the same as we feel towards Harry Mountbatten Windsor.
The Queen gave Wallis the snub of the century--who could blame her??! History repeating itself all over.
Make a documentary about the great king George V, the queen's grandfather, noy this p.os
Edward had ‘stepped out’ with numerous other married women, before Wallis was on the scene. George VI was the next in line, after Edward.
"What I Did for Love" is their theme song.
History. Learn from it, then rinse and repeat.
It always is amusing to me when women get stuck with one hair style which even when outdated they continue with it, not matter how unflattering.
❤
That's Good!
What year was this produced?
4:34 - 1998
Good history
Great 👍
Prince Edward & Wallis Simpson - 20th Century Hall of Fame 1427pm 25.6.24 i am only asking: is the hysteria of nowadays akin to the past re: royal stuffiness and celebratory events?
I wish that the British Pathé makes a hall of fame video for Lord Mountbatten
Given the Duke's affection for Hitler and fascism, it was a break for Great Britain that he was more interested in himself than the empire. His brother was a better man for the country in every respect.
He was not proclaimed King of England.
Why the rewriting of history? He was a traitor.
sad thing was that in letters revealed later, she never wanted to marry him - sometimes people got swept up in the fun times that were the pre-war years and then they were stuck with the results....
They weren’t swept up in anything, well except fascism. It was a marriage arranged to disguise the real reason the King abdicated. If they’d been anyone else they’d have found themselves inside a prison cell. Instead they were bound to each other for the rest of their lives. They deserved each other.
The jewels and lavish lifestyle was abhorrent to her then? Right!
Spineless - shameful.
Personal choices over country. Shocking.
Две страшилки нашли друг друга. 😱😱😱
Bravoo Bravoo Bravoo ❤️ ♥️ 💖 😍 ✨️ 💕 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 😍 ✨️
"Hall of Shame" is more like it.
All nuts
Love is a many splendid thing 🎉
"That Woman" ! & "megs" is the new "that woman" !
Fix the factual errors.
There is a history of the English royals defying rules and regulations for the sake of Love, from Lady Diana (R.I.P.) to King Charles, to Prince Harry! 💥
They’re the British Royal Family, and have been since 1707. And it was nothing to do with marrying for love, that was just the cover story at the time because the government thought it would damage moral to tell people that their Kings was a fascist. Documents since released show that the British Secret Service had surveillance on them both since the early 1930s and knew exactly what they were up to with their trips to the German Embassy and visits to see Hitler.

Admiraban a Adolf Hitler, tanto que incluso se vieron y fotografiaron a su lado. Hay una fotografía donde aparece Wallis Simpson estrechando su mano derecha al Führer, con su cabeza un poco agachada reverentemente hacia ella, mientras Eduardo VIII lo observa.
In this narration, replace the word "Wallace" with the term "NAZI." Clever. 👍
The rightful King
If he had stayed King, and the late Queen didnt infact become Queen later on, I wonder how 'different life/people/the world' would have been?!
Edward and Simpson were both Nazi sympathizers and antisemitic before WW2 broke out.
Same old German monarchy!
Given he was a buddy of Hitler’s we’d likely not been involved in WWII and the whole of Europe would have spent decades fighting fascism. Just as well his father had Secret Service surveillance put on him from the early 1930s and the government knew what he was long before he was King. The ‘marrying for love’ story was just a ruse.
No different
@@ffotograffyddThe king was not in a position to decide, whether Britain would oppose Hitler or not.
Glory to Love for everything.
Prince Edward was a Nazi spy.
You know what the British royal family should have treated the Duke and Duchess of Windsor with respect for heaven sakes ❤🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Why would they respect fascist traitors?
Utter tripe.
Wallis cheating on her husband? He was as much a social climber as Wallis. Look at Alice Keppel and Edward the 7th. That being said, the Abdication was the best thing ever for the United Kingdom. Thank God George the 6th was on the throne during the war.
Such a scandalous bunch. Great TV viewing mind you.
I love the black logo, looks very matured, elegant, fancy and professional. like real men instead of colourfull logo
‘Real men’ don’t feel threatened by a rainbow. 😂
Poor guy, you can't pick who you fall in love with
Change back that logo now!
That's rich coming from a troll named "freedomofspeech" 😂
No
@@jak8274 that makes no sense whatsoever
It's everywhere. The only ones who care about pride are the attention seekers. You're not special, folks - Just human, like the rest of us.
@@jak8274 How much do you say for the sake of truth and how much is for the approval of other people around you?
That logo looks awful now
Looks beautiful ❤
If only history would have been slightly different, there would have had a wonderful, long reign of King Edward and a United, peaceful Europe. ❤
A 'wonderful long reign' horrific...! From a man who visited Nazi Germany in 1937 against the advice of the government, and met hitler at berchtesgaden. And that edward wanted Britain bombed so that the nazis would put him back on the throne as the head of a puppet srate. Yep, we would have had a really peaceful time of it!
You mean we’d have been living under fascism. What a weird thing to wish for…
@@ffotograffydd Yes 🗿
@@SandrasSpicySpanishSalami OK mate 😂😂😂
(For clarity I’m laughing at you not with you).
@@ffotograffydd One more name for zee list. 😃❤
Change the names to Charles and Camilla. Beautiful Diana thrown over for a mistress 🫤
Diana cheated whilst she was married to Charles the night before she wed Charles she had a row with him over Camilla and she went ahead and married him wonder if she would have done that if Charles was an ordinary non royal man?
