EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, are seen enjoying a tranquil moment at the Chateau de Cande in May 1937. The image captures the couple in the aftermath of Edward's controversial abdication from the throne in December 1936. Edward VIII's decision to abdicate came as a shock to the world when he announced his intention to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee, against the wishes of the Church of England and the British government. The King's abdication on December 11, 1936, paved the way for his brother, Albert, Duke of York, to ascend to the throne as George VI. Edward and Wallis were married on June 3, 1937, at the Château de Château de Cande in France. The couple's decision to marry and live in exile marked the end of Edward's reign and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. The Chateau de Cande, located in the Loire Valley, provided a secluded and peaceful setting for the newlyweds to begin their life together. In this photograph, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor appear relaxed and content, enjoying each other's company in the beautiful surroundings of the French countryside. This image is a poignant reminder of a significant moment in British history, when a monarch chose love over duty, and the consequences that followed. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor's story continues to fascinate historians and the public alike, and this photograph offers a glimpse into their personal lives following the tumultuous events of 1936.
