Wallis Simpson: Femme Fatale (2021x8)

Fecha de emisión: Ene 16, 2021

A profile of Wallis Simpson, focusing on her early years before she met the future king, asking whether she was a scheming seductress or one of the most maligned women in history. Her first marriage, to a heavy-drinking US naval officer, was a tempestuous on-off relationship, and in 1928, she married her first British husband, Ernest Aldrich Simpson, an English-American shipping executive. However, it wasn't until three years later that she was introduced to the Prince of Wales at an event at Burrough Court - a meeting that was to spark an infamous period in British history.
