I don’t know much about them, to be honest. All I ever really knew of them was the “gooey and sentimental” version, not much else. A man who gave it all up for the woman he loved and such.
Just as the only views I ever heard on Joseph McCarthy were the ones they told me in school and I heard on the news.
I will say, I just saw the movie tonight “The King’s Speech” and it was excellent. They made Edward VIII out like a complete pussy and a jerk, and boy...Wallis was portrayed a a complete horse-face.
Don’t know the truth, but I sure did like George VI a lot better than Edward VIII, in the movie at least. I am not into British royalty enough to go learn more, but...I am well aware of the Nazi sympathizers in England before the war, and am not at all surprised to hear he would have been one of them. Shameful.
I saw "The King's Speech", too, and having grown up on the gooey and sentimaental version of Edward and Wallis, I was quite surprised.
Interesting. My wife and I just saw it tonight as well. It was an excellent movie. I know nothing about Edward in real life. If he was a Nazi sympathizer he was probably worse than the clown he was in the movie.
