EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the thirties, Wallis Simpson, later the Duchess of Windsor, is seen gracing the opening night of Quaglinos in London, April 1936. Accompanied by a dapper group of gentlemen, the enigmatic figure of Wallis Simpson, who would later become the Duchess of Windsor and the former wife of King Edward VIII of England, stands out in her elegant attire. To her left, Lieutenant Colonel M.F. Scanlon, the Assistant Military Attache at the American Embassy, and his wife, Mrs. Scanlon, are seen engaged in conversation with Wallis. To her right, Mr. Rowley Byers, a well-known figure in London society, completes the quartet. The year 1936 was a pivotal one for the British monarchy and Wallis Simpson. King Edward VIII, who had fallen deeply in love with Wallis, had abdicated the throne just a few months prior to this photograph, citing his desire to marry her as his reason for doing so. The scandal that followed the abdication had rocked the British monarchy and society to its core, and Wallis's presence at high-profile events like the opening night of Quaglinos was a testament to her enduring allure and influence. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Wallis continued to be a fixture in London society, and this photograph captures a moment in time when she was still able to mingle with the city's elite, unencumbered by the weight of the scandal that would soon engulf her. The 1930s were a decade of change and upheaval, and this photograph serves as a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal moment in British history.
