Marrying into the monarchy is clearly like winning the lottery for certain women.I am not materialistic and just dont understand how jewels and money can drive some people. Seems a bit of an empty life to me.

@@elizabethsheffield6609after the ‘Tiaragate fiasco’ when the Queen refused to allow her the Tiara she wanted,I heard that the Tiara she did wear was a replica and not the original one.
@sandrasmith2465 I heard this too. Apparently they were concerned because of MM's tantrum of not being allowed to wear the tiara that Eugenie wanted plus the fact that she stole (allegedly) other jewels.
@@martycarter9721 Read this in the Independant Newspaper.... Sebba believes the fascination lies in the duchess's illusiveness. "It's assumed she must have magic powers; that she must have hypnotised him. But nobody can put their finger on what it was about her. She wasn't even young; she was 40; she wasn't even beautiful. But clearly a woman who attracted three husbands must have had something." That something was rumoured to be a string of sex tricks learned in the brothels of the East, where she spent time with her first husband. The Shanghai Squeeze and Singapore Grip are both probably self-explanatory, but think "matchstick" and "cigar", and men, at least, might start to fathom her hold over Edward. Probably where I got Singapore from🤔
I heard that yes, the tiara was glass not diamonds. I also heard that megaliar had been loaned a lovely diamond bracelet ( in the price range of $100 thousand) which was then “lost”.
@@TracyCarr-rx4fw could have been I know Charles bought her a bracelet, which ever it went missing .It was worth thousands of pounds . I thought though it was on loan .
It certainly does remind me of somebody. However, Wallis lived her final years lonely, lost her looks, was confined to a wheelchair and her money and life completely controlled by her carer. Very sad ending to such a luxurious high society life.
I don’t know much of anything about it, but I’m thinking that maybe (a big maybe) that the BRF kinda of looked after her after the Duke passed away. Queen Elizabeth was a very kind person - especially with family - no matter what feeling she had of her. QE was very kind to Wallis when her Uncle passed away at his funeral and was buried in Frogmore.
@@Nancy-fo7lc I truly don’t believe the loyal family helped Wallace Simpson in her old age at all. The Queen mother absolutely loath and detested her and blamed her totally for her husbands ill health and eventual early death. King George never expected to be the king and was HAPPY to be the spare. He was a quiet, shy and timid man who was abused horribly by his nanny when a child. He was quiet, shy and timid with a dreadful stammer! The stress of becoming king took its toll on his health and he died at age 56 of heart problems. The Queen mother always blamed Wallace Simpson and absolutely loathed her! As did the rest of the Royal family!
Sounds dodgy to me and reminds me of the missing jewellery with Megsy too. These two American females have such a lot in common and none of it is good.
I think it sounds more like, 'the Queen forgot, the butler could borrow'. I think the insurance company got on to them, to avoid embarrassment someone paid the 'claim' and the story disappeared.@@sandrasmith2465
I wouldn't call it being suspicious, I call it having a working brain. She's a known thief, and the jewelry is missing and she's the last one who had it. Nasty thief, stealing from the Queen!!!
Her blood diamonds you mean? Harry certainly hasn’t splashed the cash on any flashy pieces. She still wears that bracelet that Trevor gave her which looks like it cost twopence ha’penny and a balloon😂
Imo, they claimed it was a theft. In reality, they took the jewels out, had them reset into new jewelry, and collected the insurance money. Thanks, Neil, for another fascinating story about the royals!
@@marymartin-q2yUnless the jewel in question has some peculiarity or flaw that makes it identifiable, it is easy to do. They can also recut the gem to make it harder to identify.
No. Here is Wikipedia that anyone can check before quoting ancient conspiracy theories: There were rumors ... an insurance fraud (they made a large deposit of loose stones at Cartier the following year). However, in 1960, career criminal Richard Dunphie confessed to the crime.
Megalier wishes she could be Wallis and in some ways she fits the mole pretty good... The difference between the two Wallis never tried to run down the Royal Family!!! Never told big lies like Megalier has... She did have just a bit more class that Megalier will never ever have in her lifetime!!!
She would have done, had there been social media then. She used to mock the Queen Mother behind her back. Also she and Edward had strong Nazi leanings, which were very anti Monarchy and the real reason they were exiled. They were considered a threat to national security.
I’m sure she ran down the RF to her friends, it’s known she had some very nasty things to say about the Q Mother. The newspapers at the time wouldn’t entertain her, I’m sure if there had been SM things would have seeped out about the ‘poor treatment’.
Well, it is rumoured that the parkles are hard up, and knowing her penchant for copying Wallis, can we expect to hear of a so-called robbery from that quarter 🤔
Neil, you can easily tell this happened in another age because the insurers paid up quickly without a full investigation. These days you’re more likely than not to have to take the insurers to court to get them to pay any claim at all.
It was also because they were royals, insurers wouldn't question the ex king of England. Even in these modern times, see what Harry and MeGain are getting away with, govts around the world will protect harry no matter what
Wallis Simpson, never loved the Duke of Windsor, she was still in love with her ex husband Ernest, but he moved on and remarried. I think the missing jewels was an inside job with Edward and Wallis Simpson, as they need the money.
I am from Nassau Bahamas where the duke and ducthess lived, and over the years it's known that the Bahamian people felt that the duke had lost his kahuna's to that American women and there wasn't much respect for their relationship.
David, The Duke of Winsor was always deceitful....his minders had a terrible time with him, and she only ever had an eye to the main chance! If the detectives of Scotland Yard were suspicious of the claims of a theft I'd support the investigators!
I read about this as the alleged mastermind was the Duchess of Windsor for the insurance funds. The Queen Mother loathed her and allegedly did not allow anyone to help but who knows as you mention Neil. The Duchess died lonely and without much in France. Buried in Frogmore Cemetery with the Duke which was very kind of Queen Elizabeth 2nd.
Another Cosplay! M knew about Phillip's Nickname for her. She also knew he was gravely ill. Perfect timing to thumb her nose at him. This isn't just sickening, it's plain Evil.
@Aida-qy1ts not just that he had the DoW Knick name for her but Harry told her that he said ‘one steps out with an actress one doesn’t marry one’ and the Oprah interview was her getting back to him and also to the Queen who had told her NO several times!
History seems to be repeating itself, doesn't it? Both married American women both left their duties, and both women are disliked. This all sounds very suspicious. What stories are true which are not? Just like now, history repeats itself. This was a great story, thank you. I had no idea. Lots of intrigue. Cheers!👋👋😁
Oh I know the Windsor's were ALWAYS short of money and this theft was undoubtedly a put up job! And they were who they were, of course, so there was going to be no "Yes - but -" from the Insurance Company, for certain! Interesting all these years later.
The Windsors were shady but the British monarchy, politicians and the British media covered for them, the same today with Andrew and Harry, more transparency is needed
I have read this story in many different Biogs of the couple. I have always been fascinated by the Windsors since my mother told me that while their affair and their mediterranean yacht trip was not being revealed by the media back in the late 1930s my mother's next door neighbour who was Canadian came round and said "I don't know if I ought to show you this" and she handed my mum a Canadian magazine with pictures of the two and a whole exposee of the story. In those days few people had telephones and long distance calls were expensive, so it took a while for the extended family to be told the gossip but within a day the whole village knew. As for the robbery, It has to be an inside job, the facts just don't add up. Bringing the jewels on a world-wide privacy tour, and what Sherlock would have called "the curious incident of what the dog in the night" - not to mention the amateurishness of it all. NO, Mr Sean, my verdict is guilty. (It must be something about sometime divorced American duchesses)
I also do the lottery. Someone wins. Good for King George VI. Ex-King Edward VIII was his brother. It certainly demonstrated what a kind man the King was. I heard another story with respect to the so-called "robbery". I read that King Edward VIII had given Wallis Simpson Queen Alexandria's very exquisite set of emeralds, and MI 6 (or 5) "retrieved" those jewels back for the monarchy. Either way, I don't think it was a theft. It was either the Windsors selling those jewels for money or an MI6 (or 5) inside job.
Love this story. Cash strapped Duke whose wife's jewelry goes missing ? I am on team " They Scammed the Isurance Company". Wallis had a gorgeous collection of jewelry. The panthers are my favorite.
The saying expanded to be, "You can never be too rich, or too thin, or have too many silk blouses. Not sure if Wallis herself added the last part. Fascinating story, Neil, about the jewels. Edward and Wallis had their faults, but they never trashed the Royal Family.
Greetings Neil ! 👋👋👋 It’s interesting to hear about Wallis Simpson and her beautiful jewelry. Lucky for Sarah Brightman. The comparisons between Wallis and Meghan are staggering since Meghan cos plays Wallis’s outfits.
IF I were to win the lottery Neil I will keep you in jammie dodgers and cuppas - so don’t fear! 😂 I ❤❤❤ this report, and some of the Duchess’s pieces of jewellery were superb, weren’t they? While I don’t know precisely, I do believe that Wallis didn’t publicly criticise the royal family, but I am sure our chums will put me right and provide evidence. I’ve said time and again that I ❤ your RKO / Pathe News style videos because you offer perspectives on things that other channels do not. ❤ you Neil
Fascinating story. In researching my genealogy, I found that Wallis w😅as cousin. Talk about a shock - and now there's a new story to add to my family history. Thank you!
The whole story about the jewels sounds most unlikely. I have no doubt that a certain someone would try and pull off the same stunt if they thought they could get away with it.
Bravo Neil, such a fascinating story, your wise words bring the story to life. Sounds quite suspicious to me but Wallis Simpson was a fascinating lady full of mystery so i am not surprised. I couldnt win a shirt button on the lottery Neil, but would buy you loads of jammie dodgers if i did. H x👋👋❤️🏴🌹🌺☀️☀️☀️
This happens beauty fades, beauty inside lasts forever. I believe in embracing age and make the best of oneself as this process takes place. I don't know if I would want to be young now. The 60's and 70's was a great time to grow up
Owning a lot of valuables in your house makes you a soft target for burglaries. My Aunt found this out the hard way, three robberies, the police said if robbers want to get in they will. Security systems have improved since then - but still, living simply seems safer.
Fascinating story, thank you Neil. Many of the stories I have read of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor paint them as less than honourable people, so they did leave themselves open to suspicion and gossip. We'll never know the truth, but if there was some "dodgy work at the crossroads", it doesn't appear to have brought them much joy as they didn't seem to have had a happy existence.
Oh yes. it reminds me definitely of MM😜😅🤣 Thanks for the good laughter Neal😄👍👍 I suspect, a lot is missing, since the time MM „walked down“ some rooms of royal buildings …💎 💸💰💍💷🛒🛍️🎁😝, „power shopping“ at it‘s finest 👑🤩🥳😅🤣… And some people say, that after her mother was invited to have some dinner in royal houses, silver cutlery got legs on it’s own and disappeared 🪄💨 🐾🤣……… If this all is true, Doria surely didn’t had bad intentions😄, was possibly just smoking something and didn’t notice, in the thick cloud of smoke, what fell where😅…
Hello Neil, I must say that I think they were capable of pulling off an insurance scam.... because of who they were, they were no doubt quite confident that things wouldn't be checked too thoroughly, imho. Penny from Christchurch. 🇬🇧
If the Duke and Duchess of W had no money how did they afford all those jewels? Obviously, their idea of having no money was vastly different to most other people's.
I live just up the road from Himley Hall, which was where the 3rd Earl of Dudley, William Ward lived, and was very near to Bobbington airport, a small airfield nearby. When Wallis and Edward were secretly in a relationship, every Friday like clockwork a small plane would bring Edward & Mrs Simpson to Bobbington to rendezvous at Himley Hall. It was the subject of a lot of gossip at the time in Gornal, as no doubt some of the locals were employed at Himley Hall and everyone locally knew of the affair and would hear the plane flying overhead and pronounce “That’s them”. Interestingly, Bobbington airport is where a cousin of our late Queen was killed in a plane crash nearby. The Earls of Dudley made a huge fortune from the coal that was mined from his estate and later sold Himley Hall to the National Coal Board, where my Uncle manager and I was taken there as a small child. The grounds were designed by Capability Brown. It now belongs to Dudley council. I still go there regularly walking my dog but I often think about the days when Edward & Mrs Simpson went there.
Hi Neil I’ve been looking at pictures of the late Queen Mary and I see a strong resemblance in Harry he looks so much like her,great story,have a lovely weekend.😊
These days it smells like the same jewels just refashioned as supposedly new items containing new jewels. Even Kim Kardashian’s jewels were recovered. Are we meant to believe Scotland Yard never recovered a single item?
It certainly would not have happened in this day and age - royalty or not. Insurers do a full investigation, and even then do not always pay-out in full. I was blessed to see Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford in _Phantom_ 💖 She was brilliant! Very thoughtful of Lord Lloyd-Webber.
Prince Philip was very quick to see a comparison with the two ladies and he was a pretty shrewd gentleman.
Prince Phillip had the eye for schiesters, scammers he could see them coming from afar! I'm sure he was a master at deflecting them too!!

Fascinating inside story, Neil. When I first saw your headlines I thought it was another Duchess entirely, one well-known for having sticky fingers.
My thoughts as well
I also do the lottery. Someone wins. Good for King George VI. Ex-King Edward VIII was his brother. It certainly demonstrated what a kind man the King was. I heard another story with respect to the so-called "robbery". I read that King Edward VIII had given Wallis Simpson Queen Alexandria's very exquisite set of emeralds, and MI 6 (or 5) "retrieved" those jewels back for the monarchy. Either way, I don't think it was a theft. It was either the Windsors selling those jewels for money or an MI6 (or 5) inside job.
Love this story. Cash strapped Duke whose wife's jewelry goes missing ? I am on team " They Scammed the Isurance Company". Wallis had a gorgeous collection of jewelry. The panthers are my favorite.
They needed cash so I don’t believe their side of the story
The saying expanded to be, "You can never be too rich, or too thin, or have too many silk blouses. Not sure if Wallis herself added the last part. Fascinating story, Neil, about the jewels. Edward and Wallis had their faults, but they never trashed the Royal Family.
Greetings Neil ! 👋👋👋 It’s interesting to hear about Wallis Simpson and her beautiful jewelry. Lucky for Sarah Brightman. The comparisons between Wallis and Meghan are staggering since Meghan cos plays Wallis’s outfits.
👋👋👋
I'm currently reading The Traitor King by Andrew Lownie. The resemblance between the two women is surprising.
Very interesting story Neil. Very suspect and strange.
Big wave from Australia ✨🇦🇺✨
I love this, thanks Neil 👏🏻
Scotland Yard must have been told to stand down since he was the former King and they didn't want scandal. Great story Neil!
The things you THINK you get for nothing, cost the most! U pay with your soul. I don't think it's worth the time we spend on earth 😕
So they were sociopaths too❣️
IF I were to win the lottery Neil I will keep you in jammie dodgers and cuppas - so don’t fear! 😂
I ❤❤❤ this report, and some of the Duchess’s pieces of jewellery were superb, weren’t they?
While I don’t know precisely, I do believe that Wallis didn’t publicly criticise the royal family, but I am sure our chums will put me right and provide evidence.
I’ve said time and again that I ❤ your RKO / Pathe News style videos because you offer perspectives on things that other channels do not. ❤ you Neil
Thank You Kev, Hope you are ok, Fighting Fit , as they say All the Best Neil .
@@NEILSEANSSHOWBIZ I have good days and bad days, but mostly good. Getting there Neil x
Fascinating story. Thanks for telling us these hidden stories about the royals and stars of yesteryear.
It really is a mystery, but to happen twice with two Americans no, something smells fishy.
Fascinating story. In researching my genealogy, I found that Wallis w😅as cousin. Talk about a shock - and now there's a new story to add to my family history. Thank you!
The Windsors had plenty of money. They wew scroungers who took hospitality from others. It was hard to convince the Duke that he had plenty of money.
I seem to remember a recent event with a diamond tennis bracelet.
Wallis was American like Markle. Nuff said.
So what are you saying ?
😲
The whole story about the jewels sounds most unlikely. I have no doubt that a certain someone would try and pull off the same stunt if they thought they could get away with it.
It does boggle the mind how some breeze through life like she did whilst still expecting more.
Wallis marriage was karma in spades. She got caught in her own delusion…….so happy that she endured a long life.
Just a different era, the Windsor (WS) and the Sussex (MH).
Bravo Neil, such a fascinating story, your wise words bring the story to life. Sounds quite suspicious to me but Wallis Simpson was a fascinating lady full of mystery so i am not surprised. I couldnt win a shirt button on the lottery Neil, but would buy you loads of jammie dodgers if i did. H x👋👋❤️🏴🌹🌺☀️☀️☀️
Good morning Neil. Of course people want jewelry worn by famous or infamous people.
This happens beauty fades, beauty inside lasts forever. I believe in embracing age and make the best of oneself as this process takes place. I don't know if I would want to be young now. The 60's and 70's was a great time to grow up
I’ve heard the story before and I believe it was a scam. I also remember the auction and the excitement around it.
Owning a lot of valuables in your house makes you a soft target for burglaries. My Aunt found this out the hard way, three robberies, the police said if robbers want to get in they will. Security systems have improved since then - but still, living simply seems safer.
Fascinating story, thank you Neil. Many of the stories I have read of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor paint them as less than honourable people, so they did leave themselves open to suspicion and gossip. We'll never know the truth, but if there was some "dodgy work at the crossroads", it doesn't appear to have brought them much joy as they didn't seem to have had a happy existence.
Oh yes. it reminds me definitely of MM😜😅🤣 Thanks for the good laughter Neal😄👍👍
I suspect, a lot is missing, since the time MM „walked down“ some rooms of royal buildings …💎 💸💰💍💷🛒🛍️🎁😝, „power shopping“ at it‘s finest 👑🤩🥳😅🤣…
And some people say, that after her mother was invited to have some dinner in royal houses, silver cutlery got legs on it’s own and disappeared 🪄💨 🐾🤣………
If this all is true, Doria surely didn’t had bad intentions😄, was possibly just smoking something and didn’t notice, in the thick cloud of smoke, what fell where😅…
Diamonds don't interest me. I prefer my ammonite that I found at Cayton Bay in Yorkshire.
That's lovely, I read your story as I lie in my bed, in my caravan at Cayton Bay.
I'm so pleased for you Hazel
Neil Sean, I could tell you a story about a pair of emerald earrings from that particular auction. They had a couple of missing stones.😮
Hello Neil,
I must say that I think they were capable of pulling off an insurance scam....
because of who they were, they were no doubt quite confident that things wouldn't be checked too thoroughly, imho.
Penny from Christchurch. 🇬🇧
It sounds like an insurance scam to me ,also looks like someone else is following in their footsteps 😮 Interesting story thankyou Neil 👏👏👏😎💖
If the Duke and Duchess of W had no money how did they afford all those jewels? Obviously, their idea of having no money was vastly different to most other people's.
Rumor has it David pocketed large sums of money in the run up to the abdication
Plus they had an allowance from the royal family
What a wonderful interesting story 😊
Check the local Pawn Shop.
It was an arrangement for those jewels to disappear. 😂 Or I watch to many crime shows. ♥️🇨🇦
I live just up the road from Himley Hall, which was where the 3rd Earl of Dudley, William Ward lived, and was very near to Bobbington airport, a small airfield nearby. When Wallis and Edward were secretly in a relationship, every Friday like clockwork a small plane would bring Edward & Mrs Simpson to Bobbington to rendezvous at Himley Hall. It was the subject of a lot of gossip at the time in Gornal, as no doubt some of the locals were employed at Himley Hall and everyone locally knew of the affair and would hear the plane flying overhead and pronounce “That’s them”. Interestingly, Bobbington airport is where a cousin of our late Queen was killed in a plane crash nearby.
The Earls of Dudley made a huge fortune from the coal that was mined from his estate and later sold Himley Hall to the National Coal Board, where my Uncle manager and I was taken there as a small child. The grounds were designed by Capability Brown. It now belongs to Dudley council. I still go there regularly walking my dog but I often think about the days when Edward & Mrs Simpson went there.
History repeating itself. I am certain rachel has studied simpson's life inside and out.
Wow Neil you hit the jackpot on the story on Wallis Simpson. 👏👏👏. Sounds fishy to me. Maybe that is where Meghan got her playbook from.
meegain never seems to have an original idea.🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@sadhumannell2769and got no class at all
Hi Neil I’ve been looking at pictures of the late Queen Mary and I see a strong resemblance in Harry he looks so much like her,great story,have a lovely weekend.😊
Certainly makes you think Neil 😮
These days it smells like the same jewels just refashioned as supposedly new items containing new jewels.
Even Kim Kardashian’s jewels were recovered.
Are we meant to believe Scotland Yard never recovered a single item?
It certainly would not have happened in this day and age - royalty or not. Insurers do a full investigation, and even then do not always pay-out in full. I was blessed to see Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford in _Phantom_ 💖 She was brilliant! Very thoughtful of Lord Lloyd-Webber.
History about to repeat itself?
👋 great story!
Great story, and story telling, as ever Neil. Thank you 👋👋👋
I only play the lottery occasionally. Another intriguing and interesting story. Deja vu !!! Thanks Neil.
Thanks Neil
That was an excellent story well told Neil. Very interesting!
The black and white picture on the Sotheby's brochure honestly could be a current photo of Megnut. So similar that it is scary.
Good evening neil 🖐
