| | Wallis, Duchess of Windsor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wallis, Duchess of Windsor (June 19, 1896–April 24, 1986), formerly Wallis Simpson, was the wife of Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, the former King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom. | | | The Duchess of Windsor died on 24 April 1986 in Paris. | | | A "defeatist" interview with the Duke that received wide distribution may have served as the last straw for the British government: in August a British warship dispatched the pair to the Bahamas and the Duke was installed as Governor, returning to France after the war. |

| | King's book is as large as Wilson's is small, as judicious as Wilson's is rash and as sympathetic a life as we can hope to see of a woman who wasn't, and will never be, judged on her merits. | | | But the Duchess of Windsor was American, by God, and it's Americans like King who ought to be writing about her. | | | Fortunately for the duchess, and just as Wilson's ghastly tome appears, we also have Greg King's magisterial "Duchess of Windsor: The Uncommon Life of Wallis Simpson," which appeared last year in England to unusual controversy and was published here last fall. |

The question is interesting, but Bloch (Ribbentrop, Crown, 1993) doesn't present any evidence or research; he supports his position only with anecdotes and gossip.... | | | This is a highly sympathetic biography of Wallis Warfield (1896-1986), the American woman for whom, in 1936, Edward VIII gave up the English throne, thus becoming the Duke of Windsor. | | | Bloch (Wallis and Edward-Letters, 1931-37), who was one of the Duchess's legal representatives before her death, quotes at length from her letters and covers information published elsewhere, including the story of Wallis's first two marriages and her love affair with Edward. |
