King’s lover Wallis Simpson was ‘miserable, second-rate American woman’
[Abdication 74 years ago]

Note to the forum:
If you visit San Diego CA, go to the Hotel Del Coronado.
Not only will you be blown away by the wooden structure in the dining hall...
you can see a small cabin on the grounds that was noted for being
the private residence for Edward and Mrs. Simpson when they visited San Diego.

Also, you can walk the halls of the main motel and see photos from
the filming of “Some Like It Hot”.
The place is such an unbelievably huge wooden structure, I’m still
suprised that it hasn’t been destroyed by fire or termites.

The Hotel del also a couple of rooms that are haunted..And during the holidays it is worth a drive just to see the beautiful tree and decorations in the lobby...and the dining room you described has special buffets during the season..

I flew in from Atlanta, played music in the ballroom there and stayed overnight. What a great place.
