Wallis Simpson Quotes

They can only hurt you if you let them.

Edith stared at the ceiling, contemplating the oddness of life. Here she was with this man, whom she hardly knew when she really thought about it, asleep, naked, beside her. She pondered that central truth, which must have struck many brides from Marie Antoinette to Wallis Simpson, that whatever the political, social or financial advantages of a great marriage, there comes a moment when everyone leaves the room and you are left alone with a stranger who has the legal right to copulate with you. She was not at all sure that she had fully negotiated this simple fact until then.

Also, the notorious Wallis Simpson. Also, her doubly notorious husband Edward, the former King and my great-great-uncle. After Edward gave up his throne for Wallis, after they fled Britain, both of them fretted about their ultimate return – both obsessed about being buried right here. The Queen, my grandmother, granted their plea. But she placed them at a distance from everyone else, beneath a stooped plane tree. One last finger wag, perhaps.

At the precise moment set out in the timetable, Meghan arrived at the chapel in a Rolls-Royce, the same vehicle that had carried Wallis Simpson, the American divorcee and the Duke of Windsor’s wife, to her husband’s funeral in 1972. The official’s choice was deliberate. As she stepped out of the limousine, Meghan’s bridal train was caught. The escorting officer who opened the door offered no help. The explanation foreshadowed what was to come. After her rudeness during the rehearsal the previous day, explained an officer, no one had any feelings of goodwill towards the bride.

You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance. -Wallace Simpson

King Edward VIII’s right to remain on the throne even though he planned to marry twice-divorced Wallis Simpson as another.

Wakati Yuda ikiongozwa na kiongozi mzuri na mwenye haki kama Yosia, taifa lilistawi. Lakini ilipokuwa chini ya mwovu Manase, taifa lilisambaratika. Katika karne hii, Uingereza ilipata msukosuko mkubwa mwaka 1936 juu ya uamuzi wa Edward VIII kuoa mwanamke wa Kimarekani aliyekuwa mtalaka Wallis Simpson. Uamuzi huo ulisababisha matatizo makubwa ya kikatiba, na nusura serikali ya Uingereza ijiuzuru. Hata hivyo, kaka yake mdogo, George VI, kwa mapenzi makubwa na nchi yake, huku akikataa katakata kuondoka London wakati wa Vita Kuu ya Pili ya Dunia, aliliongoza taifa hilo katika kipindi kigumu zaidi kuliko vyote katika historia ya Uingereza. Kanuni hii ya uongozi ina ukweli katika jambo lolote kubwa na hata dogo la ujasiri.

She was playing with semantics. I felt certain that she understood the word “tip” in English. She enjoyed pretending that she thought I wanted the Duchess to be upside down with her face buried in the sewage of some manhole while her beautifully shod feet waved desperate high-heels in the air.

when his older brother, King Edward VIII, abdicated to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson, a twice-divorced American.

I’d have grown used to the scoffing after so many years of my husband advocating unpopular positions—his immovable stance on keeping India under imperial rule as one example, and his support of King Edward VIII’s right to remain on the throne even though he planned to marry twice-divorced Wallis Simpson as another

Besides the food itself, there was one more thing that made these meals truly unique.  They were served on a set of very fine dinnerware commemorating the coronation of Edward the VIII, which never happened.       In 1936 he had abdicated the Throne of England to marry an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson.  Marguerite and I could not imagine the value of the dinner ware we were using but Joan said the family she worked for had been so disappointed when Edward abdicated; they relegated the dinnerware to “ordinary” use forever.  When Marguerite found out about the dinner ware she was near panicked that Katie would break something.

Alice Keppel’s withdrawal in the wake of the King’s death was a smart move. When at last she reappeared, Society welcomed her with open arms. Establishing herself in a new house on Grosvenor Street, where she could indulge what Osbert Sitwell described as her ‘instinct for splendour’,21 the former favourite was admired and respected by almost all. She never forsook her policy of discretion and, unlike many of her contemporaries, she never published her memoirs. Her view of the Abdication Crisis, when Edward’s grandson Edward VIII gave up his throne for the love of Wallis Simpson, was revealing. ‘Things were done much better in my day,’ she sighed.
