EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII of England, is seen smiling with his wife, Wallis Simpson, at the Chateau de Cande near Tours, France. The image was captured in May 1937, just a few weeks before their wedding on June 3, 1937. The Duke's decision to abdicate the throne in December 1936 caused a sensation around the world. He chose to do so in order to marry Mrs. Simpson, an American socialite who was twice divorced, which was against the Church of England's laws at the time. The couple's unconventional love story made headlines and sparked controversy, particularly given the Duke's former position as monarch. The Chateau de Cande, situated in the Loire Valley, was the site of their secret wedding ceremony. The photograph captures the Duke and Mrs. Simpson in a moment of happiness and contentment, surrounded by photographers who were no doubt eager to document this historic moment.
