Description

In December of 1936, King Edward VIII of Great Britain shocked the world by giving up his kingdom in order to marry a twice-divorced American commoner named Wallis Simpson. The King and Mrs. Simpson recounts the extraordinary love story between the popular king and the enigmatic woman that began at a party in England and culminated in an abdication nearly six years later.
