There is a backstory to this which is played down in that David (or Edward VIII as king) was supposed to be a Nazi sympathiser and the government used the Wallis episode to ditch him. Whether it's true is another question. But it's no wonder film-makers love it because it makes for one of the greatest love stories - giving up a kingdom for the sake of the woman you love.Elizabeth Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407958362024218785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-4382447879741993322012-08-02T20:09:07.967-04:002012-08-02T20:09:07.967-04:00I remember watching a TV movie about this relation...I remember watching a TV movie about this relationship a long time ago with Jane Seymour in the role and I remember loving it.

It's interesting that the bad rap gets pinned on Wallis--I've always had a sneaking suspicion that Edward saw what was coming down the pike in world events and didn't much mind getting out of leadership, so I've been guilty of pinning the bad rap on him!Rowennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757364614589686606noreply@blogger.com
