That year, Edward VIII chose to abdicate less than a year after ascending the throne, and the reason for his public abdication was to marry his lover, Wallis Simpson.
During her 35 years of marriage, Wallis was never able to leave Edward VIII a man and a woman.
So, after the deaths of Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson, who inherited their huge fortunes? Where does their legacy go?
According to the record, after the death of Edward VIII, he left all his property to his wife Wallis according to his wishes.
After Edward VIII's death, Wallis held about £3 million (about 76.19 million yuan today), which did not include her fine jewelry and art, furniture, and so on.
The jewels that originally belonged to the royal family were returned to the British royal family after Walris's death, and when Wales died, the couple's property was all handed over to the Budd Institute.
The Bard Institute is a French scientific institution specializing in terminal illness, which means that the institute has become the biggest "beneficiary".
However, most of Edward VIII and Wallis's wealth came from the patronage of the British Crown, and after their abdication, Edward VIII and Wallis lived a life of "pleasure-seeking", they did not have much financial resources, and they relied on royal stipends provided by George VI.
In order to avoid falling into an economic crisis, Edward VIII negotiated with his brother George VI long ago, and when he abdicated, Edward VIII and George VI signed an agreement.
The agreement included a grant of about £25,000 a year for the British Crown, but between Edward VIII's misdeeds, George VI later reduced the cost.
It was financial disputes that made the brothers strangers, and Edward VIII claimed that he did not share in his father,The George V's inheritance.
Eventually it was discovered that all this was a disguise for Edward VIII, who cried poorly in order to make his brother sympathize with himself.
Soon after, George VI discovered that his brother had taken a sum of more than £1 million from the royal family and had secretly taken the crown that had originally belonged to the Prince of Wales.
Out of sympathy, the city of Paris rented a villa on the outskirts of the city to Edward VIII for a very small price.
After Elizabeth II succeeded to the throne, at the behest of Edward VIII, the Queen reinstated Edward VIII's royal allowance of five thousand pounds a year.
With Edward VIII's "pit abduction" technique, Wallis became a wealthy woman.
The "idle" couple dreamed of their own yellow sorghum in this small villa, and they used their fame to hold various celebrity parties to satisfy their vanity.
A large number of attendants were hired to serve their daily lives, and interestingly, the villa also had a flag of the "Prince of Wales" hanging in the welcome hall, and only this flag reminded people of the identity of the owner.
After the death of Edward VIII, Wallis died alone in this villa, suffering from Alzheimer's disease for the rest of her life.
In the final stages of her life, she did not leave her property to her relatives, but set the Pasteur Institute as a beneficiary.
