- Bessie Wallis Warfield, later Simpson (June 19, 1896 - April 24, 1986), was an American socialite and wife of the former King Edward VIII. Their intention to marry and her status as a divorcée caused a constitutional crisis that led to Edward's abdication.
An only child, Wallis was born in Square Cottage at Monterey Inn, a hotel directly across the road from the Monterey Country Club, in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania. Her father was Teackle Wallis Warfield, the fifth and youngest son of Henry Mactier Warfield, a flour merchant; her mother was Alice Montague, a daughter of stockbroker William Latane Montague. Wallis was named in honor of her father (who was known as Wallis) and her mother's elder sister, Bessie, and was called Bessie Wallis until, at some time in her youth, the name Bessie was dropped.
She grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. Her father died shortly after her birth, and she and her widowed mother were partly supported by their wealthier relatives. Her first marriage, to United States Navy officer Win Spencer, was punctuated by periods of separation and eventually ended in divorce in 1927. In 1931, during her second marriage, to Ernest Simpson, she met Edward, then Prince of Wales. Five years later, after Edward's accession as King of the United Kingdom, Wallis divorced Ernest to marry Edward.
The King's desire to marry a woman who had two living ex-husbands threatened to cause a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom and the Dominions, ultimately leading to his abdication in December 1936 to marry "the woman I love". After abdicating, Edward was made Duke of Windsor by his brother and successor, George VI. Wallis married Edward six months later, in June 1937, after which she was formally known as the Duchess of Windsor, but was not allowed to share her husband's style of "Royal Highness". Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother always blamed Wallis for the death of her husband King George VI, believing that if he had not had to be King he might not have died so young. She refused to allow the Duke of Windsor to be invited to his brother's burial.
Before, during, and after the Second World War, Wallis and Edward were suspected by many in government and society of being Nazi sympathizers. In 1937, without government approval, they visited Germany and met Adolf Hitler. In 1940, Edward was appointed governor of the Bahamas, and the couple moved to the islands until he relinquished the office in 1945. In the 1950s and 1960s, they shuttled between Europe and the United States, living a life of leisure as society celebrities. After Edward's death in 1972, Wallis lived in seclusion and was rarely seen in public. Her private life has been a source of much speculation, and she remains a controversial figure in British history. She herself is reported to have summed up her life in a sentence: "You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance.
She dies on April 24, 1986, at her home in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris from bronchial pneumonia at age 89.

Comunque Wellis Simpson era legata al Italia, dopo che un certo ragazzetto di nome Galeazzo Ciano, che l'ha messa incinta, l'ha lasciata e dopo che lei ha subito un aborto, diventò completamente sterile.. Parliamone?
Però tutto sommato ha avuto una vita molto turbolenta... Però credo che l'unico amore della sua vita fu Eduardo... (Per lui sicuramente l'amata più del trono di Inghilterra).
Non essendo più risposata, si può pensare che era presa da Eduardo oppure era troppo anziana per risposarsi.
Io credo, che sia una donna di mille sfaccettature, molto irruente e indipendente in quei tempi, una donna che tutto sommato a salvato la monarchia è degna di nota... (Lei ha fatto la storia), una donna che può essere amata o odiata... Però non era indipendentemente colpa di Wellis, se Eduardo se ne andava con le donne sposate più forti di lui. (Wellis lo era). Non va giudicata anzi... È una donna di massima stima!💪💪❤️
Se vistió como la época de 1900
Ella nació en 1896, entonces cuando tenia 18 años aún era 1914 y la Gente todavia se vestia de esa manera!
Moim zdaniem jagby Wallis Simson miała honor opuściła by Księcia ale ona chciała być bogata i żyć wygodnie 🌎🌍🗺️🇺🇲🇬🇧🇲🇫.
