In the abyss of her soul,
Lies a contented child
who is longing to transpire
To discern the imminent daylight
In the abyss of her soul,
She is love, passion, and fire
Who has the mastery
To bring even the kings of the world
down on their knees
In the abyss of her soul,
She is yet to be freed

A night with a man who made her feel like a Queen
It was drizzling outside, and the chilly breeze was flowing
She was dressed in a red gown with danglers in her ears and an anklet on her feet
The sound of her entry into the hall was very sensational
The man was standing at the entrance of the hall,
Holding a candle in his hand, he was dressed like a gentleman with a bow and a hat
He was a little nervous holding her hand, as she was the most beautiful girl of his dreams
His hands were shaking and trembling
But she was excited and happy about this special moment
So the gravitational forces were so powerful at her end
that she surpassed his level of energy and let him welcome her
He welcomed her to the Paradise of their life. She was all happy and cherishing her dearly beloved.
She saw candles all over and with water flowing in jar and the music of a flute playing in the background making the moment more romantic and memorable
In the center of the table was champagne with two glasses
There was love everywhere around the room
They held each other tightly throughout the night as they ran out of breath just by looking in each other’s deep orbs of eyes
And… it was never-ending
A night with a man who made her feel like a Queen
In this blog, I’m writing about a lady, whom I call my Angel friend. She was in her eighties, and her skin had wrinkles despite that, her blushing eyes know the way to make people in love. In her old age, she is still exquisite and attractive. I know her for few years. We used to meet occasionally in a shopping mall near to my residence. We became good friends. I still remember the day when we met the first time. She was in the same shopping mall searching for something. I liked her at first sight, tried to talk to her that day. ’ I think you are searching for something. May I help you?’ She turned to me with a smile on her face and since then we became friends. We shared coffee; we had a good chat that day.
She was living on a different side of a shopping mall. That day, we waved goodbye and went our ways. During our conversation, one thing shocked my soul and mind. On my asking what she did whole life like a profession, firstly she was lost in her thoughts, closed eyes and then with all pain in her voice, she said, ’I was escort’. It stunned me to hear her words. I said nothing. On my way home, I was thinking of her only. How such a beautiful and calm lady can say this. Is she really had such a past? My mind did not believe her words.
After that day, we met many times, but I never dared to ask again. I always liked her beautiful eyes and graceful smile.
A few days back, when I went to church, I saw her sitting in one corner praying with closed eyes. I saw her from quite a distance. She was looking like some angel. On the back wall of the church, I also saw a picture of Mother Mary. Felt so much resemblance.
I wanted to ask her that why she said she was an escort but I was having neither the courage nor words to ask. I was sitting and praying and suddenly someone asked me,’ where you are lost, my child’. It was the father of the church. I shared my doubt with him. He knew her well and what he told me really stunned me. He told me she is a fantastic lady. She was not an escort. What she told me was not true.
In fact, in her youth, she was in love with someone. She loved a man in his hard times, gave him a better lifestyle, supported him and done all she could to love him, but that man had different intentions in his mind. He was with her not for love or care, but his reason was selfishness. She was a beautiful and innocent girl. She couldn’t understand the materialistic selfish reasons of his man to be with her. Time passed and by one day he left her all alone in the world with debt on her shoulders and tears in her eyes and sickness and pain in her heart. She cried alone for so many days.
She started inhaling drugs and alcohol but nothing was helping her she was still in his memories and was in the hope of him coming back.
I saw her standing and waiting at the door for him. One day she heard him saying, ’I befooled you’. She started crying louder and then when the next morning she woke up she said to herself it was not you who befooled me; it was me who got befooled; I knew at every step that u don’t love me; you have reasons to be with me but I thought u will change because I love you so much.
Having frustration and thinking that she slept with a man who was using her as an escort for the tenure of time for his selfish motives, she engraved deep a thought in her mind that she is an escort. With this thought, she lived her whole life.
Hearing all this, my eyes were full of tears, completely voiceless. I turned back, but nobody was there. I came back home with a heavy heart. Never met her again.

History is not only a subject full of kings, queens, fights, conspiracies, and power-capturing strategies. It also has many other things than dry tales and discussions. Love, emotions, and sacrifices also remained an important part of pages of the past. All kings are not behind power politics; few set their priorities in their own way. They left the crown for their love, their passion as well other values. The love tale of Prince Edward and Mrs. Wallis Simpson is a perfect example to say that love and passions can really drive the lives of a few, and those few make life really beautiful and more liveable and meaningful.
When Prince Edward fell in love with Wallis, she was not only already married but also divorced. Prince himself was also involved with other women. Mrs Simpson entered his life, but being American was a big hurdle in their love story, as Americans were not highly regarded in British. Their relation grew up into a deep friendship, and then it crossed all limits to be a ‘perfect love story. Nobody in the Royal family liked this relation. The passion in relation was so intense that it sparked a constitutional crisis. Despite all this, King was happy to give up the British throne, and ultimately, Edward VIII renounced his throne in December 1936 with his brother Albert crowned King George VI.
Following his abdication, the pair married a year on, and remained in union for 35 years until Edward’s death in May 1972.
King Edward was a good-looking person with blonde hair and blue eyes, a boyish look on his face. He maintained this look throughout his life. Yet Prince Edward preferred married women. Because of his appealing personality, many women got attracted. Before meeting Mrs Wallis Simpson, he was having relations with different ladies. One of those was lady Furness, who hosted a party on 10 January 1931, where she invited both Prince Edward and Mrs Simpson and her husband, Ernest Simpson. It was the first meeting between Prince and Mrs Simpson. No doubt it did not leave any powerful impression on Prince. Thereafter, they met on different occasions during the next few months. Very truly, it was not love at first sight for either of them. Edward continued his affair with Lady Furness, although he and Wallis met at various house parties.
In 1918, Prince Edward met Mrs. Winifred (“Freda”), Dudley Ward. Although they were about the same age (23), Freda had been married for five years when they met. For 16 years, Freda was Prince Edward’s mistress.
Mrs. Simpson also remained a frequent guest to Prince Edward for the next two years. They came close to each other when Lady Furness was on a trip to the USA in January 1934. Thereafter other ladies, including Lady Furness, were cut out of Prince’s life. Freda Dudley Ward was also one who remained close to Prince until 1934 and the beginning of Prince’s relationship with Wallis Simpson. In January 1934, Thelma Furness made a trip to the United States, entrusting Prince Edward to the care of Wallis in her absence. Upon Thelma’s return, she found she was no longer welcome in Prince Edward’s life—even her phone calls were refused.
Simpson was born on June 19, 1896, in Pennsylvania but grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. She was a socialite who had been married twice when she met Edward at a party. Mrs Simpson was not only exquisite, but she also had a sense of style and posed in her personality. She was 35 when she met Edward at a house party hosted by Lady Thelma Furness.
When she grew into a young woman, she married Lieutenant Earl Winfield, a pilot for US Navy, in 1916. This marriage lasted until their divorce in December 1927. After a few months of divorce, she got married to Ernest Simpson in July 1928.
As said earlier, it was in the year 1934 that Prince and Wallis became closer. There was a reference to when Prince invited both Mrs. Wallis Simpson and her husband to cruise, but Ernest Simpson could not accompany his wife because of his business involvement. On this cruise, they crossed the limits of friendship and fell completely in love with each other.
The relationship between Prince and Mrs. Simpson entered a testing phase when King George V, father of the prince, died in January 1936, and thereafter Prince became King Edward VIII. New King was occupied with big state affairs responsibilities, but no one in King’s circles welcomed his infatuation with Mrs. Simpson. Then-Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin believed people would not accept divorced women with two living ex-husbands as queen. In fact, this relation rocked Britain’s most prominent institutions – Parliament, the monarchy, and the Church of England – to their cores. But Edward was excited and wanted to make her Queen, but he couldn’t.
The Church of England did not allow divorced people to remarry if their former spouses were still alive, and as King Edward was the head of the Church, so it was believed that he could not remain king and marry Wallis Simpson. Ultimately, he was left with simple options, either leave Simpson or abdicate Thorn. As he was very much committed to being with his love, King Edward finally left the thorn in December 1936.
In his famous abdication speech, he said, “I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility, and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do, without the help and support of the woman I love.” His brother, Prince Albert, who became George VI, acceded to the throne. Edward went off to marry Wallis in France and was rarely seen in Britain again.
It was certainly a significant decision where he proved that love is more important than anything in life. More interestingly, Edward abdicated the throne for her, even though she was still married to her second husband. Later on, she sued for divorce, and it was granted. Edward and Wallis got married on June 3, 1937, in a minimal ceremony.
After the abdication and marriage of Edward to Wallis, the Royal family shunned the couple. Their ‘wedding day was also the first day of the rest of their lives in permanent exile. Once Edward abdicated, he lost his title as King and was referred to immediately after Prince Edward. Given the titles of Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the couple lived in voluntary exile in Paris, where they were known for their elegant dinner parties. They continue to attend the galas, fashion shows, and dinner parties that had always been her natural environment. Publically, they were always looking elegant and well-dressed. Edward loved the 12,000-acre secluded estate near Tallahassee, where he was preoccupied with outdoor pursuits including hunting, picnics, and horse riding, which he enjoyed immensely. They were also sent to the Bahamas as Governor for a short period.
Edward passed away in May 1972, as his health fell down because of heavy smoking, Mrs. Wallis lived fourteen more years till her death in April 1986, at 89, when she was buried beside her Duke of Windsor. The couple had no child. They could never return to Britain unless Edward came to attend the funeral of King George VI in 1952 and again for his mother, Queen Mary, in 1953. Wallis didn’t accompany him to either funeral, but she could return for Edward’s funeral in 1972. With many difficulties, their love tale is really touching.
Although their marriage forced Edward into exile (which explained the move across the English Channel to Paris), Wallis was granted some acceptance from the royal family as the years went on. When Edward died, his funeral was held in England, and she stayed at Buckingham Palace for the event, according to Anne Sebba, the author of the book, That Women: The Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor
Love certainly is more than just going on dates holding hands and kissing. It’s about accepting each other’s weirdness and flaws. Sometimes people also say ‘Love is being stupid together. This love tale ended years ago it has many aspects to remember for ages to come. Their tale remained a hot topic for the entire world for the last more than a half-century. Few say it is the greatest love story, while others see it as the ultimate royal scandal. Still, their romance is certainly mired in controversy because, to be with the woman he loved, Britain’s king paid a truly extraordinary price – he gave up the British throne for his love.
A king left his throne to be with the woman he loved. Duke of Windsor has become a romanticized figure over his devotion to American divorcee Wallis Simpson. Few believe that this was the love story of the century, but for others, it was a scandal that threatened to weaken the monarchy.
