The British royal family has always been secretive about the abdicated king, who is said to be pro-Nazi. 20 15 a tabloid (yes, the infamous Sun) intercepted a picture of the Queen and her mother performing a Nazi military salute in front of Edward VIII when they were young in a royal video, and published it publicly on the front page. Although the British people and other media, who are inclined to the royal family, criticized The Sun for being too vulgar, they defended the fact that the Queen was young and the Nazis showed no signs of genocide at that time.
It seems that the Queen's mother had a good relationship with her uncle, the then Prince of Wales (later Duke of Windsor), but it is said that she hated Mrs Simpson all her life. This is another story! For those interested in this gossip, please read: Sister-in-law's past with Queen Elizabeth and the Duchess of Windsor.
In fact, although the report in The Sun has the intention of grandstanding by the image of the Queen, it does not dare to imply that the Queen sympathizes with the Nazis in the written report. It just repeats a fact that everyone knows but doesn't want to make it public because of saving face for the royal family, that is, the protagonist of this article, the Duke of Windsor, is indeed a Nazi sympathizer.
The Duke of Windsor and his wife Simpson visited Germany and met Hitler at his holiday villa. The Duke of Windsor performed a complete Nazi ceremony, which made Britain very unhappy. Today, I won't elaborate on the story that he and Mrs. Simpson (strangely, she has the title of Duchess of Windsor, and Simpson is only one of her three husbands, but everyone still prefers to call her Mrs. Simpson) interacted with the Nazis and provided information to the Nazis in exchange for returning to the throne, including the relationship between Mrs. Simpson and a Nazi senior official. The focus goes back to the protagonist's multiple love histories.
Today, a prince with more than 20 lovers should also be named as a "stamp collector"! As for whether there will be a large number of girls calling "husband" on his Facebook page, just look at his photos and you can imagine (at least one block more handsome than Sicong! ) gentle, slightly melancholy, aristocratic atmosphere, today this photo is estimated to kill a lot of small fresh meat ~
However, this "small fresh meat" 80 years ago prefers married women. No wonder his father George V wanted to scold him when he saw him, saying, "As long as I die, this child will destroy himself within a year!" " Very reluctant to let him inherit the throne.
George V, who died suddenly, wouldn't know that his eldest son, who he didn't like, inherited his throne after his death. What he didn't expect was that a few months later, his eldest son abandoned the responsibility of the state and the royal family and gave up the throne in order to marry Mrs. Simpson, who had been divorced twice!
The only thing that can make him happy is that the throne finally fell into the hands of his favorite second son, George VI, and passed it on to his favorite granddaughter, Lily Bert (Lily Bert is the nickname of Queen Elizabeth II today, and George V has a good eye. Lilibert, who has become a great-grandmother, was the longest-serving king of England a few days ago.
193665438+February 1 1, Edward VIII, who signed the abdication document the day before, broadcast to the world (live broadcast worldwide! ) announced his decision to abdicate, and published a love declaration of the last century: "I found that I could not shoulder the burden of responsibility and perform my duties as a king as I wished. Without the help and support of the woman I love. " If I can't be with the woman I love, I can't bear the heavy responsibility of being a king and exercise my duties as a king. In short, nothing can be done without Simpson! Since then, he has become an infatuated hero handed down from generation to generation.
Today we will dig out this spoony black history! Twenty-four lovers can be divided into several groups, such as "married women", "aristocratic ladies", "unfair occupations", "actors and stars", "exotic", and a group of "homosexuals" makes people stunned! Of course, the existence of this group can also explain why there is a gossip in the market that Mrs. Simpson is a man.
The lovers who have a far-reaching influence on the prince are mainly married women. As his last lover, Mrs Simpson is also the terminator of his absurd love, which is well known to all. When she was with Edward, she was not divorced. It's only two months before the spoony king abdicates. At that time, they had been dating for several years.
When they first started dating, the special team of Scotland Yard secretly followed them, and the person who came back to report the case said, "That woman was holding POW (he was the Prince of Wales at that time)." It is particularly interesting that even though the American media reported their extramarital affairs, the British media loyal to the royal family remained silent. Until193665438+February, Edward and * * * almost fell out with Simpson in England.
Before Simpson, Edward had long-term lover relationships with many married women. Mrs Furness introduced him to American compatriot Simpson, who was one of his main lovers. 1930 when traveling with Edward in the Kenyan African prairie, Mrs. Furness wrote in her diary: "Just like the two of us in the world ... this is our Garden of Eden ... every night, I am more addicted to our love ..." Finally, she was introduced to her lover's hometown and won the love, and only she knew the taste ~
The other one is even more exaggerated. It has been a lover relationship with Prince Edward for 16 years! Five of them are with Mrs. Furness, who is Mrs. Dudley Ward. * * * Lovers seemed to be a trend at that time? Mrs Dudley Ward seems to have introduced her sister, Mrs Vera Lillian Healy, to the prince at 1934. When Mrs Simpson left England for a short stay in France, Edward and Mrs Healy became so close that people later thought that Mrs Healy's son Tim Healy was Edward's illegitimate child. Tim was born in 1935, 10 in June (the same day). He is a TV and stage actor and once played the king of England in a comedy.
Prince Edward, who had just returned to London after World War I, used to focus on courting ladies. At this time, he had relationships with Princess Diana's grandmother, Ms. Cynthia Hamilton, Ms. Diana Cooper, Ms. Rachel Cavendish, etc. They are all gentle and jade-like classical beauties. In the eyes of us mortals, they are more beautiful than Mrs Simpson 100 times, but each has his own love.
Apart from the aristocratic ladies in his country, Edward's stamp collecting is also global. Frances Day, an American star, and Mildred Harris, the wife of comedian Charlie Chaplin, are his prey ~ Frances Day, an American actor and singer, was very popular in Britain in the 1930s. Chaplin's young wife filed for divorce in the name of unbearable mental abuse of Chaplin, and was awarded alimony of $6,543,800. After the divorce, she had a brief love affair with the prince.
What is even more bizarre is the love affair between Miss Millicent Milroy, a Canadian female teacher, and the prince. When Edward was bored to play in Canada and near Ottawa, he saw her in her garden, so he started a relationship. For the prince, this is just an affair in a boring journey, but for the female teacher, it is a lifetime memory. 1972 When the Duke of Windsor (former Prince Edward) died, Milroy carved a tombstone for himself. The tombstone reads: Millicent Milroy, daughter of James and Helen Milroy, wife of Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor. It's really a mistake to see the prince for life!
The romantic prince didn't stop there. His "talons" extended to his cousin louis mountbatten (played by Louis mountbatten). Of course, it is possible to initiate the later famous Marshal mountbatten. Yes, this louis mountbatten later became the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia in Admiral of the fleet, England. When he was the governor-general of India from 65438 to 0947, he put forward the mountbatten Plan to divide India and Pakistan. He is also the elder of the Queen of England and Prince Philip (also his nephew, the royal family is basically intermarried, and Charles and Camilla are also related), and arranged their first meeting.
Another legendary gay prince Edward is also an officer. His name is Edward Metcalfe. They met in 1922 when the prince was traveling in India. Soon, the two hit it off. The prince insisted that he be his attendant and affectionately called him Guoguo. After that, this Edward accompanied him for more than 20 years, from being Prince of Wales to Edward VIII and then to the Duke of Windsor. He has always been his lover, friend, attendant and nanny, taking him home and putting him to bed when he is drunk. He even served as the best man when the Duke of Windsor married Mrs Simpson!
No matter how absurd the Duke of Windsor was when he was young, he finally fell into the hands of Wallace Simpson. Simpson complained to his uncle in the letter: "Why are there such clingy men?" ? "I finally married him. As for the Duke of Windsor, love is a spell on him. " No matter who he falls in love with, he will become the slave of the other party wholeheartedly and depend on the other party completely. It's in his nature, right? He can be regarded as masochist. He just likes to humble himself and belittle himself. He can't wait! 」
