new documentary claimed that the late Queen Mother Elizabeth was the daughter of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. When she was 5 years old, she met at a party 11 who was then called Prince Edward. The year-old Edward VIII and the 9-year-old George VI, known as Prince Albert. In 1920, the 19-year-old Elizabeth had grown into a noble girl and met Prince Albert at a party. At that time, Queen Mary knew that her second son Albert had an affair with the musical actress Phyllis Monkman, so she decided to let Prince Albert marry Elizabeth as his wife. But she didn't want to marry Albert. The person in her heart was actually Albert's brother, Prince Edward. It was not until a year later that she married Prince Albert under pressure from the royal family and family.
Due to the ambiguous relationship between Prince Edward and Elizabeth, on January 5, 1923, a London newspaper even heard the rumor and announced on the front page that Elizabeth and Prince Edward were engaged, but Buckingham Palace immediately denied the rumor. It didn't take long for the royal family to announce the engagement of Elizabeth and Prince Albert. According to Michael Thornton, author of the book "The Queen Mother and the Duchess of Windsor", even after marriage, the relationship between Elizabeth and Prince Edward is still very close. She wrote in a letter to him: "Dear David , You are very, very naughty and funny. "
Hate Mrs. Simpson
All changes happened after American divorced woman Wallis Simpson walked into Prince Edward's life and let him abandon the country for love.
The new documentary claims that Queen Mother Elizabeth has been full of hatred for Mrs. Simpson for almost her entire life, not because she caused the abdication of Edward VIII, but because she took away the man she once loved. The new documentary claims that when Mrs. Simpson and Elizabeth met for the first time in Buckingham Palace on November 27, 1934, their relationship was full of tension. Prince Edward later became king, but because Mrs. Simpson gave up the throne, Prince Albert succeeded to become King George VI, and Elizabeth became Queen of England. When Edward VIII, who was reduced to the Duke of Windsor, married Simpson in 1937, none of the royal family members attended their wedding. Simpson told her husband that this was because Elizabeth, who had just become Queen of England, "hated both of us." The Duke of Windsor and his wife later went into exile to the Bahamas.
According to Thornton, around 1970, he met the Duke of Windsor and his wife living in France in their residence in Bren Gardens in Paris. The Duke of Windsor told Thornton: "She (the queen mother) will never Forgive me." Mrs. Simpson said on the side: "Because I married him." The Duke of Windsor said: "My brother-in-law loved me. I liked Elizabeth at first, but she would not forgive me and Wally. Si fell in love. That's why she has kept us living so badly for so many years."
Beaten as a "haggard wife"
In the eyes of many British people, George VI and Queen Elizabeth are a loving couple, but the new documentary However, it claims that the 29-year marriage between the Queen’s parents, George VI and the Queen Mother, is not a romantic love story as previously described. The marriage between the two is full of storms that are invisible to ordinary people. Research scholars said that King George VI often became angry with his wife and even beat the queen, causing Elizabeth to become a "haggard wife."
Due to the pressure of the war and the burden of the monarch, coupled with the frustration of not being able to speak, King George VI's temper became more and more irritable, and he often became angry with his wife. Prince Philip, the husband of the Queen of England, once recalled that some of his father-in-law's words were the "most extreme language" he had heard in his life. Dr. Brandon from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom stated in the documentary that according to some royal servants, on some occasions, George VI even beat his wife.
