The love story of Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson, who do not love the country and love the beauty has been circulated for nearly a hundred years, and countless works have long been derived. Interpreting this love from different angles, newspapers and the Internet are constantly revealing many secrets of the year. Such as Edward VIII's pro-Nazi tendencies, Mrs Simpson's constant derailment and so on. Whether it is true or false, I will not comment. I only look at it from the point of view of the film. The film is undoubtedly sympathetic to Mrs. Simpson. She has endured rumors for decades. People admire Edward VIII's spirit of sacrifice for love, but for Mrs. Simpson. But not many people pay attention, and her image is also mixed, whether it is the Oscar film "The King's Speech" or the recent popular American drama "The Crown", Mrs. Simpson has been portrayed as an ambitious and vicious woman. Of course, Edward VIII is not a great man. In "The King's Speech", he is a playboy who evades responsibility. In "The Crown", he is an old man with constant small movements and a vicious mouth. Edward VIII in this film, It was obvious that he was hiding in Mrs. Simpson's arms to hide from outside pressure, and he was actually a boy who didn't grow up. Mrs Simpson shows her exhaustion in the film, her man, her king is a boy who only takes but doesn't know how to give, he thinks he has given Wallis all the love he doesn't know , making Wallis almost crushed. In fact, this trait of Edward VIII also has a great relationship with his family of origin. People have always studied the British royal family in history, and their various kinds of bloody and wonderful things are enough to write several tome books. . Her father, King George V, and her mother, Queen Mary, were strong and indifferent people, and the family atmosphere lacked warmth. Edward VIII was in his 30s and had never been married, and his mistress had always been a mature married woman. Seeing the lack of family affection, the stuttering of his younger brother George VI also has a great relationship with the family atmosphere. Politically speaking, the European royal families after the First World War were all trembling. The once glorious throne is now unavoidable. The once glorious Kaiser Wilhelm II was lucky to have lived in exile in the Netherlands for 20 years. Let’s take a look at the tsar. The tragedy of Nicholas II's family being wiped out is enough to make these high-ranking princes and princesses shudder. The strength of British parliamentary politics is also constantly squeezing the authority of the royal family. George V was even forced to change his ancestral heritage. The surname, Edward VIII was actually politically talented, but the political atmosphere at the time made his ambitions nowhere to be displayed, and the pressure of family and the outside world made Edward VIII choose to escape, which was not a bad idea for him. Not a relief, and he has always been praised His younger brother George VI bore the crown for him. It can be said that George VI was unhappy until his death. Although under the leadership of the powerful Prime Minister Churchill, he won the Second World War, but the once brilliant British Empire has no The inevitable disintegration, the excessive pressure damaged the health of George VI early, and died less than six years after the war, resulting in his wife and daughter never forgiving Edward VIII, in their opinion, this is the Cowards, put the blame on their husbands/fathers, and went to live with a shameless woman, until the death of the Duke of Windsor, this grievance was finally put down. As for his decades-long relationship with Mrs. Simpson, like a person drinking water and knowing whether he is cold or warm, perhaps as shown in the film, Edward VIII used Mrs. Simpson as an excuse, a haven to fulfill his greatness and avoid responsibility. .
In fact, there is a relative who is very similar to him, that is Prince Charles, his love triangle with Princess Diana and Camilla is famous all over the world, and his image can be said to be completely destroyed, even now he is 70 years old, Can't get rid of the label of scumbag. But how many people can understand Charles's own inner world? The environment he faces is worse than that of his great-uncle, the Duke of Windsor. The British Empire has completely declined, and it has become the horse boy of the United States. The royal family has completely become a rubber stamp. It is no longer the protagonist of political news, but has become gossip news. the protagonist. Marrying a brilliant wife, he set himself off to a dismal face, and a divorce war made his reputation discredited, and Diana's incense disappearance made him completely unable to turn over. In fact, this emotional entanglement hurt Diana, and it hurt Camilla. Even if Charles gave Camilla a marriage, it would be difficult to make up for the hurt Camilla suffered. She suffered too much stigma like Mrs. Simpson. . If Charles had been braver, firmer, and had been with Camilla, perhaps many of the problems would not have arisen. But history can't assume that maybe even if he was with Camilla, there would be problems. Charles's own character problems and external pressure also determine many things. He was born Prince of Wales, so he has received too much attention. In fact, his younger brothers and sisters also divorced and went to prostitutes, but not many people paid attention, because They are not Princes of Wales, first in line to the throne. And when he wanted to get married back then, there were too many factors to consider, not just what he liked, so he didn't end up with Camilla, but married an innocent virgin who seemed suitable, although people always said Diana was Cinderella, but she was actually a noble girl from the earl family. After marriage, the couple lacked a common language, shared different dreams, and both cheated. In fact, Diana was no better than Charles in marriage. It was only because of her well-shaped image that everyone would only sympathize with Diana. He himself has a pair of serious and traditional parents. Although they have had a model marriage for decades, the children who have grown up in the new century cannot replicate their parents' marriage. Not to mention that his mother was on standby for a long time, and it is very likely that he would not abdicate until he was 100 years old, and by that time, he would be almost 80 years old, what else could he do? Maybe he doesn't care in his heart, anyway, the current king has no political role anymore, and it's good to be a free and easy rich man.
Behind every legend, there may be pots of blood we don't know about.
