Mel has been rewatching Season 1 of The Crown and felt inspired to cover Prince Edward VIII’s controversial relationship with American socialite Wallis Simpson. History remembers the short-lived king abdicating the throne of England after his family and Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin disapproved of him marrying the 2x divorcee. On the surface, their story appeared incredibly romantic—sacrificing everything for a forbidden love—but was that the whole truth?
In this episode, we discuss the realistic consequences of giving it all up to be with the one you love. We also take a closer look at Edward and Wallis’ moral compasses, questionable decisions and disgraceful politics.
