This print captures a momentous occasion in history - the wedding of Edward VIII of England, also known as the Duke of Windsor, to his beloved Wallis Simpson. The couple is seen on their special day, June 3rd, 1937, at Chateau de Cand in Monts, France. Edward VIII's decision to abdicate the throne shook the world as he relinquished his position due to his deep love for American-born divorcee Wallis Simpson. Despite facing immense controversy and societal disapproval, their commitment prevailed. In this image, they stand together as husband and wife, defying convention with grace and elegance. The photograph showcases the royal couple radiating joy amidst a backdrop of historical significance.
