EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment as Edward, Duke of Windsor, and his wife the Duchess Wallis of Windsor make their grand arrival at Victoria Station in London. The year is 1956, marking their first visit together to Britain since 1953. Edward VIII, once known as the King of England before abdicating the throne due to his love affair with American-born divorcee Wallis Simpson, exudes an air of regality as he waves his hat to the welcoming crowd. This image captures not only a significant event but also showcases the undeniable charm and charisma possessed by this royal couple. As eldest son of George V and Mary of Teck, Edward's decision to marry Mrs Simpson caused quite a scandal within British society. However, it did not deter him from pursuing true love. After relinquishing his title as king and assuming the role of Duke of Windsor, he married Mrs Simpson in an intimate ceremony held at Chateau de Cand in Monts, France on June 3rd, 1937. This AFP photograph immortalizes a moment that symbolizes resilience and devotion against all odds. It serves as a reminder that even those born into royalty are not immune to matters of the heart. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this print beautifully encapsulates an extraordinary chapter in both personal lives and British history alike.
