American socialite Wallis Simpson, the "Woman", if she was a woman, for whom King Edward VIII gave up his throne, there is much speculation about this illicit relationship, Why Edward was so attracted for Wallis, she was neither young nor beautiful, she was square-jawed and masculine, her voice was "scratchy" and she often sounded as if she had a grater in her throat when she spoke, so why did Edward abdicate the throne for her? What was so beautiful about Wallis Simpson and was it Edward's "love" for her "love" or simply an obsession, Edward simply thrived on being controlled, manipulated and treated like a child? Edward forced Wallis to marry; Did she feel obligated after what she put everyone through? Did she want to free herself from the obsessive clutches of her suicidal lover, or did Wallis love the power, jewels, attention, money and control she could have over the King of England, the most powerful man in Britain at the time, not We may know exactly what really happened or the type of relationship they had, so we just speculate. We will examine what would later be called the Abdication Crisis and determine our opinion on the rumors surrounding Wallis Simpson. Edward was born in London, England on June 23, 1894, his father was King George V and his mother was Queen Mary. Edward was known to those close to him as David and officially known only as Edward. He attended a naval college at Osborne and the Royal Naval College on HMS Britannia at Dartmouth and later, after becoming a prince, attended Magdalen College, Oxford. Edward was intelligent and known for his charm and good looks, but he was bored and tired of authority; he decided to leave Oxford before graduating. In 1910 his grandfather died, leaving Edward's father... in the middle of papers... unusual way of speaking, social insensitivity and often had nervous tics such as constant fiddling, so some believe that Edward may have suffered from autism or syndrome of Asperger, others think that Edward may have simply been “mad” and therefore were worried about his accession to the throne, The prince also had a weakness for teddy bears, he often used them for comfort, this is quite childish. Edward's father excluded him from political matters and conversations and urged him to find a wife and start a family, Edward refused and rebelled by having numerous affairs with women the king considered unsuitable. Edward began a relationship with Lady Thelma Furness in 1931. On 10 January 1931 Lady Thelma Furness invited Wallis and Ernest to a party and this is where Wallis met Edward. Edward lived his life with glamor and money unlike Wallis who spent her life struggling.
