Vévodkyně - Wallis Simpsonová – Holdenová Wendy (2025)

He gave up the throne for her, she gave up everything for him.

It is the year 1928. A middle-aged foreigner of average appearance arrives in London, without means and without acquaintances. Wallis spends her first months in London feeling a deep sense of loneliness and boredom, so she escapes into the world of tabloids, which tirelessly supply her with news about the charming high society of London.

When she eventually loses all hope that her life could change significantly, the tide of her fortune begins to turn, and events take a rapid course. By an unexpected turn of events, she finds herself at a private party with the Prince of Wales, who is immensely captivated by her, and her star begins to rise sharply. For the prince, burdened by the rigidity of the outdated English court, her appearance is like a breath of fresh air. The friendship between them grows increasingly intense and deep, until one day it inevitably blossoms... into love. Wallis throws herself with newfound enthusiasm into the whirlwind of a world of luxury and privileges that was previously hard to imagine, enjoying wonderful weekends with her prince at his private fortress, Belvedere.

When King George V suddenly passes away, it seems their fate is sealed: the Prince of Wales becomes King Edward VIII...
