Yesterday said the movie w.e. (Love of the Country). It's ironic that Mrs. Simpson, who came with money in the first place, didn't get the money (this refers to the British royal family. After all, for the ordinary boss's surname, marrying the duke is already a fool's dream) instead of getting the beautiful love that everyone desires and cannot get.
After Edward VIII announced his abdication, his brother succeeded him as George VI. After his accession to the throne, George VI created a title for his brother, the former king, the Duke of Windsor. At this time, the whole of Europe was shrouded in the shadow of Hitler's World War II, and the mountain rain was about to come and blow. George VI grew up stuttering, never imagined that one day he would become king, and so he drove the ducks to the shelves. The entire royal family was deeply angry with Prince Edward. Although the king abdicated as a duke and could still enjoy royal allowances, the royal family exiled them abroad. It is not allowed to return to China without invitation, otherwise, the royal allowance will be abolished. Six months after Edward VIII's abdication, Mrs. Simpson was successfully divorced. The two immediately held a wedding, but no royal family members attended the wedding. And after the marriage, the royal family did not give Mrs. Simpson the royal title.
When referring to Edward VIII's love fairy tale, the male protagonist expressed doubts
In the film, World War II breaks out, and in that darkest moment, Prince Edward wants to return to china to play, but is turned away by the royal family. The long period of exile, the rejection and contempt of the royal family, Edward was also depressed. And the insults on the other side, the high society on the other side that she once squeezed her head into but now can never go back to, and the Duke of Windsor, who used to give her all the scenery and romance, but now she can't do anything about it, Mrs. Simpson is also very miserable.
After Edward's abdication speech, Mrs. Simpson lost faith in the future
It is said that mrs. Simpson, who had been married three times, did not live as well as she imagined after flying with the Duke of Windsor. Prince Edward was able to satisfy her romantic life of high society, but the long-exiled Duke of Windsor could not give her such a day. Later, Mrs. Simpson also thought about divorce. But after all, the Duke gave up the throne for her, after all, now she was carrying the hatred of the entire British nation, after all, they were so old but they did not even have a child, and they were only left with each other. Although Mrs. Simpson had thoughts of divorce, she did not really divorce in the end. Far from Britain, far from high society, the days when two people are dependent on each other are worth it, and it is also cold and warm self-knowledge.
Mrs. Simpson wrote to a friend to confide in her heart
Although everyone is celebrating the most romantic love of the twentieth century, for Edward, as King of England, such an act is not advisable. He was not a good king. In order to chase his love, give up the throne and his own people. Because as long as you break the shackles of the royal family, you can get happiness, but you don't want to be imprisoned in this prison of public opinion. As a member of the royal family, he received a strict education from an early age, and he also thought about serving his country, but he never got the forgiveness of the British people. I think that in the long dark nights that followed, Edward's mind also flashed with the reverie of if he had not abdicated.
But history has no ifs, and the fact is that Edward VIII did not become a great monarch but lived out a great love in the eyes of the world.
