Miss Wallis Simpson In Her Home 1936

UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 01: Portrait of Miss Wallis Warfield SIMPSON at her home in 1936, little before King EDWARD VIII decided to abdicate to be able to marry her. The sovereign's wish to marry this American woman had been faced with the refusal of the conservative Prime Minister Baldwin and of the Anglican church, for the reason that she had been divorced twice. In reality, it is more likely that the sympathies EDWARD VIII and Wallis SIMPSON entertained for Hitlerian Germany led to this ultimatum. (Photo by Keystone-France/Gamma-Keystone via Getty Images)
