A pleasure.

I wish I did not have to finish.

Who is in it?

All European Virgins of blue blood, apparently.

He needs someone to take care of him.

Someone who understands its ups and downs ...

That makes him laugh.

That's what you have with Ernest?

I guess I do.

And love?

I had very bad luck in love with my first husband.

I made a lot of choice more wise with Ernest.

And what do you have with Thelma?

Thelma?

God no.

No, it's all over among us. It is ...

Twice, I'm afraid.

The first husband lives in America.

I think the current husband He has also been married before.

- Children? - No!

I do not think I'll go with her.

Do not go with her? Of course.

They told me that he paints his nails.

And he plucks his eyebrows.

Such a charming boy.

It's a charm, is not it?

It's as if I had the intention deliberate to hurt us.

Move a little to the right.

The taxi is here.

Oh, dear, many, many thanks for welcoming me all this time.

- It's been so fun! - Oh, the pleasure has been mine.

Now to the left.

Oh, Wallis, you must be dying of desire for your holidays.

Well, you promise me that will you write every day?

Well, to be honest with you ...

... I'm really Pretty irritated, Mary ...

... for the absolute negative from my husband to accompany me.

The only thing that occurs to me ...

... is to take me to My aunt Bessie from a carbine ...

... as if I were a schoolgirl, for the love of God.

Cari o, I have to work to keep us solvent.

We have already finished.

I will be the only woman she is alone there.

I have never met another woman trained to take care of herself!

Oh, Wallis, you must go! You will have a great time.

My dear!

It seems as if we had suggested serious dental work ...

... instead of a vacation!

My dear child, ready ...

... finally we are the taste of the month thanks to you, so ...

Why do not you just take advantage the occasion when it is presented?

They're coming!

Oh, bravo!

Bravo!

Come on, come on!

S !

- I won! - Bravo! - Very good!

Well, what a surprise!

You are suggesting that the people let me win?

Oh, the real nose has smelled something.

Perry

- Yes, sir? - I had an idea while going down.

Budapest I have not been going for years.

Remember those wonderful gypsy violinists?

I think that the Aunt Wallis would like you.

What do you say, Mrs. Merriman? Next stop Budapest?

- Well I do not... - Then it's decided.

Have it all arranged for tomorrow, all right, Perry?

Come on! Time to eat!

It's so determined!

Wallis ...

... I know you do not want to have this Conversation, but ...

... the prince seems to be terribly infatuated with you.

Well, maybe, but, you know ...

... is famous for these little ones Fallings, Bessie.

They never last long.

You will be forgotten as soon as Let's go back to London.

And anyway, everything is perfectly innocent.

But what about the dear Ernest?

Believe that everything is tremendously fun!

He's probably showing off about it right now with some ...

... poor American clients.

No, he's having a good time. Yesterday he sent me a telegram.

Mary is pending of him on my part.

And your mother would have wanted I was watching you.

Oh, Bessie, please, do not tell me off.

Do you know? If life offers you this ...

... well, who could refuse?

I have been saving and saving since I was a child.

He says "Budapest", and suddenly we are on our way to Budapest.

And it's all pretty exciting, right?

It's the kind of emotion that I could do ...

... that the rest of your life be disappointing in a way.

No, do not worry, dear.

S nothing lasts forever!

And I am perfectly prepared for return to Earth with a jolt.

When the moment comes.

Are you okay?

- Are we too close together? - Yes ...

Where are we going exactly?

It's just a small place I know.

It's very simple, nothing great ...

... but with a wonderful atmosphere.

Nothing happens.

You are sure that we are in the right place?

Come on.

Thank you.

Well, really, sir, I ...!

Seriously, Wallis, you have to stop calling me "sir".

Call me David.

My family does it.

It is a fabulous dress.

Is it silk?

There is something I want to tell you for a very long time.

And what is it?

You know perfectly.

- Sir, I ... - You're twelve minutes late, boy.

Yes, sir. My apologies.

What did you want?

Well, sir, I understand by my secretary that two of my invitations ...

... for the 25th anniversary dance They have not been approved, sir.

Right.

I wonder if I could convince him so he can change his mind

Do not.

It's just that this couple in particular have been ...

No! You know the rules. Nothing of divorcees.

They are two of my friends Most intimate, sir.

Friends?

You make me sick!

Pubs, jazz music, women, tobacco.

Men dressed as scoundrels, behaving like scoundrels.

Do not think that I do not know what is happening

People tell me, people I trust.

Sir, I work damn Hard when I'm on duty.

Surely when I'm out of service ...

You're never out of commission!

Our whole life should Be an example for your country.

One day the whole damn empire I will turn to you for guidance, and ...

- ... may God help you when you do it. - I only ask ... - Absolutely not.

They can not, they can not come. I proh bo!

If they do not come ...

- Me neither. - Do not be absurd, boy.

I'm serious.

It would have been thought that given the level of ostentatious wealth in sight ...

... they would have also organized an adequate supply of drinks.

Thank you.

Do you want to dance?

We together? No, dear. It is very middle class.

Is not that the Lady Stockholm? Why do not you ask her?

Because it's the woman most stupid of London.

And of course there will always be a certain amount of ...

... doctrinal divergence within the synod.

- I think that's inevitable, but ... - Winston! - ... I...

Old friend, I'm glad to see you. Come to us.

Good evening, Majesty.

The Archbishop was talking about something that I think will fascinate you.

Do you excuse me?

A busy night. For the prince.

Yes, yes, well, the burden of duty Real never ends, Archbishop.

Really?

Mrs. Simpson, Do you grant me the honor?

God, I missed you so much!

What are you thinking about? You have not even greeted Ernest.

God, did not I do it? I am sorry.

Everyone is watching us.

Seriously, the only way to make this work ...

... is to behave as civilized adults.

It's fine. No pinching, then.

Look at it

Jewelery cover.

Thousands must be spent and thousands in it.

Emeralds, rubies and diamonds.

- What vulgar. - Americans before you.

I hope that none of them be ours.

Well, when I finish this dance ...

... I want you to go and talk to Ernest for at least 5 minutes.

It's fine.

And then, when there danced with 45 princesses ...

... some of which, I would dare to say ...

... of one aspect frankly bovine ...

... I could be invited to your apartment for a last drink?

I'm sure Mr. Simpson and I will feel honored.

Ah, Prime Minister.

Majesties, I must say what glorious that is this event.

Showing the high esteem that you have to the monarchy throughout the Empire ...

... and, of course, throughout the world.

And what's the use of that, Baldwin ...

... if our oldest son is going to throw lose the whole damn show?

May him!

Giving the show with that woman!

Alec, the husband is someone important?

Commerce, Majesty. In transportation, I think.

When I'm not here, Baldwin ...

... that boy will ruin himself same and the monarchy in 12 months.

Remember what I say.

What has me particularly worried ...

... is your relationship with the American woman.

Mrs. Simpson has been under surveillance during the last 10 months, sir.

And her husband.

It is a standard practice with any person close to the heir to the throne ...

... and she is as close as she is Humanly possible.

Really?

Ver s, no me importar a, Maitland, if she was what I call ...

... a respectable whore.

Twice a week in the evenings. Discrete attitude.

But this of walking in public with her ... it will not work.

- So I need everything you can get over it. - Yes, sir.

Sooner or later you will have to go, and when the time comes ...

... we will need all the ammunition that we can get.

Very good, sir.

past times

Happy new year!

Happy new year, dear.

It's been a good year, right?

Happy new year.

God, he thought tonight It was never going to end.

The rest of the people are So boring, do not you think?

It turns out that they are some of our best friends.

You go away indecently early.

Yes, but tomorrow we get up Soon to go hunting ...

... that is a perfect excuse.

You can not argue with a pheasant.

Not if you're British.

Dear, Ernest is right in the next room. I believe that..

I do not care. Let him come.

We will fight in duel.

- Dear, I really think It would be better if you left. - Do not.

What happens if you decide enter suddenly?

I'm sick of this!

All this of dragging me at midnight. It is so humiliating.

- I do not want to share with you! - Cari o, come on!

- It's our only option. - No, it's not!

- What do you mean? - Div rciate de l.

- What? - You do not love him! You love me, do not you?

What are you saying?

- Div rciate of l! - Its not that easy.

It goes away in a month. Can we come in...

No, it's not enough.

I can not stand thinking about him anymore next to you. He kisses you, he touches you ...

I want to be with you.

All the time.

- Day and night. - Damn it, honey ...

Especially at night.

You do not love him

You love me.

One of two is not bad.

A message from Sandringham, sir.

Taking. Take my gun Taking.

Father.

We have to leave immediately.

I am sorry.

God save the king.

- God save the king. - God save the king.

At ten o'clock, the councilman of the city of London.

At ten thirty, the director of the Royal College of Surgeons.

At eleven o'clock, the Bishop of Dover.

A quarter past eleven, trip to St. James for the meeting ...

... at eleven thirty with the Coronation Council.

It's been more than a year for the coronation.

Yes, Majesty.

But some are involved forty thousand people ...

... and must be planned to the smallest detail.

Very good, I suppose, but we have that try to take time ...

... for more important matters.

Especially I would like to talk ...

... with the Minister of Labor about unemployment in the north.

I'm afraid, sir, that is not really ...

Do not worry. It will be just an informal chat.

I want to go out and see more to real people.

A little less than pomp and daily ceremony ...

... and a little more to go out from one place to another, s ?

Yes, although we must ...

No, Mr. Thewkes, let's see how it unfolds

Oh, yes! Yes, it's very good.

What do you think, Alec?

Noble enough for the coins and stamps of the kingdom?

An excellent resemblance, sir.

But disclose me, Mr. Thewkes.

That is the left profile. It should be the right.

No, we discard that.

The left profile was a lot better, right, Thewkes?

But sir, custom dictates that the consecutive monarchs ...

... they should look in opposite directions.

I'm afraid, sir, which is a tradition ...

... that goes back to hundreds of years

- The Mint will insist ... - Will you insist?

Commander Hardinge, is the face of the king who is going to use.

Therefore, it is difficult unreasonable...

... that the king decides Where do you look?

And that, Commander Hardinge, It is the last word of the king.

Thank you.

Majesty.

God save the king!

I would only like to thank your hospitality for ...

... to receive us here today.

And thanks also for your courage and perseverance ...

... to get ahead in this damn Depression.

Did you know? I have known to all kinds of people.

I have traveled all over the world.

But for me, you, the English people ...

... You are the best, and the ones best for me.

Well beaten, son.

Hey, Rip van Winkle, wake up. (* short story by Washington Irving)

It's much after midnight ...

... and Cinderella has to go back to his pigsty.

Can I go up?

Not tonight.

You have to stand again inside ...

... three and a half hours.

I see you tomorrow? Do you promise?

Hello, Wallis.

God, Ernest! What are you doing here?

Well, I finished the most things fast than I expected ...

... so I have returned a few days before.

It's terribly inappropriate on my part?

Oh, no, dear, do not be silly!

What about Washington?

- I've been to New York. - Oh, yes, I'm sorry.

Have you seen Mary? How is it?

Mary is fine, and ...

And how are you, Wallis?

Oh, the truth is that I'm a little tired.

Now he has many things to take care of

Another gift!

The insurance must be getting expensive.

So...

Then where Has it been tonight?

Oh, dinner with the Churchill and the German ambassador ...

... followed by a piano recital, some would say that excessively long.

What's up?

Are you in love with him?

What?

- What kind of question is that? - A direct one.

Well, it's a bit late for worry about my feelings ...

... is not it true, Ernest?

It's not something that should have worried you when ...

... you were so delighted that Your wife was the flavor of the month?

I get it.

No, no, look ...

I am sorry. Really. I am...

I'm tired.

You have been very patient, but the things will soon return to normal.

We will return to the normality, I promise.

Listen, I'm going shopping to Paris next week!

Why do not you come with me?

We could pass a few We went together, we alone.

We have not talked for centuries as God commands.

I miss you.

Wow, who will it be? at this time of night?

That will be all for tonight. Thank you.

Go ahead!

Ernest! I'm glad to see you, old friend.

- Majesty. - Well, a glass?

No, no, thank you, sir.

Please please.

Well, Ernest, this is ... It's great

What ... what news is there of Par s?

Well, I imagine that you He'll know better than me, sir.

What are you looking for, Simpson?

Sir, with the greatest respect, I would simply like to find out ...

... which are exactly your intentions towards my wife.

Hello, dear, how about the trip?

Well, the trip has been fine.

Thank you. So...

- ... I see that the purchases They are going well. - Oh, yes!

It seems that I am getting all kinds of Discounts and service attentive.

- It's a change! - Is that mine?

Yes, sir. Coffee with milk.

Well, dear, I found A wonderful restaurant to eat.

- Wallis. - What? - We need to talk.

Now?

Well, it's never going to be the right time, do not you think?

We have to face things.

The king is in love with you.

Good...

... if this is my ultim tum, then there is no doubt.

- I stay with you. - It's not an ultim tum, Wallis.

It's just ...

I think we should divorce.

Ernest! I...

I thought we had an agreement.

- Well, if you want me to stop seeing him ... - I do not want to! I do not want to!

I'm not saying that.

Well, what are you saying?

- Wallis, he wants to marry you. - Oh, live in a dream world!

It's harder to marry me to go flying to the moon, you know!

He is completely determined, I assure!

As a guarantee of your intentions ...

... this morning he has deposited in your private account ...

... one hundred and fifty thousand pounds.

- You sold me. - No!

No! The money is yours, not mine!

It's just so that, whatever happens...

... after the divorce, You can live comfortably.

Well, I'm going to return every damn penny!

I can not be bought or sold!

I do not want a divorce!

What you and I have It's real, it's solid.

We are partners.

Ernest, what's your problem?

Only because he is the king ...

... does not mean you have to deliver your wife!

Well, there's ...

... there is something more.

What?

Mary

Mary?

She and I, I mean.

Since I've been in New York ...

... and I've been going through so much time there this last year ...

I am sorry.

Hey, Wallis ...

Are you in love with her?

Well, she loves me, Wallis.

More than anyone else never wanted

Wallis.

Wallis.

And there are several reports of time I spent in China ...

... who say that: "I learned the darkest sex arts ...

... working in the brothels of Shangh i. "

One here says it's a agent of the KGB. Another one that is ...

"A Nazi spies with a son illegitimate of von Rippentrop ...

... who is being raised for nuns in Bournemouth. "

Most of these the "Times" has sent them.

Chiflados!

When the river sounds, water carries.

To start no woman respectable would travel to China.

Well, at least they are not publishing these rumors.

Yes, but it's in all the newspapers Any other damn country in the world.

And do not think that here nothing arrives, because it arrives.

There is not a dinner in Mayfair in which Do not talk about it all the time.

It has turned us into a damn international hazmerre r.

Have spoken with l about these rumors?

He does not want to listen Not a word against him.

He has fired more members of his personal because of you, any other.

He has to face ,l, Prime Minister.

You have to force her to leave her.

Facing kings is A very risky affair, Alec.

Especially when I barely have the majority in the House of Commons.

Yesterday I spoke with Ernest.

He has managed to fix it for the next weekend.

Mary and he have found a hotel in Oxfordshire ...

... with a kind ex-journalist to get evidence of divorce.

An mate!

As soon as it seems dangerous.

What happens if the press Do you hear about divorce?

They would not dare publish anything.

I promise.

You do not have to worry I have everything under control.

You need a vacation. That's. Relax Have a little fun

Forget everything.

In the end everything will be great.

Trust me.

Beautiful.

Oh, my God, it's great!

I think you're being summoned.

With all due respect, sir, I'm not sure...

Get him! He is having fun. It's on vacation!

The list of the Court, October 20.

The legal session of Ipswich.

Thank you.

Simpson vs. Simpson.

- Oh, wow. - "Oh, wow?"

"OH, GO?"

If the divorce is granted on that date...

... can get married again in 6 months.

What brings us to April ...

... exactly 3 weeks before of the Coronation.

Just in time for the wedding number three.

- Wedding? He must be crazy if he thinks ... - He's crazy!

ChicoThe boy is spellbound by That damn woman ...

... beyond any Reason of reason!

He believes that since he is now king he can Do what the damn you win!

Come on, call, Alec.

Surely you know there are strict rules about who you can or can not marry.

But there are not any!

Legally, you can get married Who the hell wants ...

... as long as it's not Catholic, which is not I have checked it.

American, commoner ...

... and in the eyes of the B gama Church, but it is not Catholic.

He would not dare to marry her!

True?

I wonder what they are singing.

I think some kind of song of love.

It's all for you, you know?

I bet some king or whoever is in love with you.

But if they know it in the other side of the world...

... I wonder who else knows.

I do not care.

The whole world will find out anyway.

Because something has not been done before does not mean it is impossible.

I have never been in my life as happy as I am now.

Welcome home, ma'am.

Have you had a good vacation?

Very good, thank you, Cain.

I see that Mr. Simpson has been packing.

Yes. He stays at his club.

Thank you.

Oh, Bessie!

Maybe Ernest accepts me again. It's not too late.

Do not say that. You can not.

You know you can not. You do not love him!

Love is not the only thing that exists in the world!

Have you seen my reputation lately?

It seems that I have left it in some site and now I can not find it.

- Tonter as, Wallis! - You have not read them!

And you should not either! Look, here they will not dare to publish it!

I told you! Ignore them, for the love of ...!

I can not afford to ignore them!

If I divorce Ernest, I do not have no protection at all ...

... because when everything this is over, t ...

... you'll still be king, And I'll be finished!

- It will never end! - Why are not you realistic?

It's over now!

- Where do you go? - Somewhere! Wherever!

You can not leave me!

- Take me! - You can not!

Do not do it, Wallis! I warn you!

If you leave me now, kill me!

I swear to God he will!

I mean it, Wallis! You can not do this to me!

Wallis, I beg you!

Please, Wallis, I'm begging you!

Wallis!

Breath deeply. Come on.

Did you know that breakfast It was a bad idea.

You're sure you want go ahead with this?

It's not too late to escape through the back.

I have no choice, Kitty. Ernest wants a new wife.

I never really had stability Until I met Ernest.

And now I have let it I escape between the fingers.

Show me, helpless again.

Not at all, dear.

You have the king.

For now, but ...

... will have to swallow the pride sooner or later. They will force you.

And when that happens ...

... well, it will be like the Arabs.

I'll pick up my store and sneak out silently during the night.

I will end up like a crazy old woman and eccentric abroad ...

... wearing strange hats and murmuring about a mysterious past.

Oh, Wallis!

Show me my war painting.

Simpson vs. Simpson, Court One!

Simpson vs. Simpson, Court One!

Well, what do you feel?

A free woman at last?

I feel as if I have been removed a huge weight on top, t no?

It has been a long day.

If I tell you the truth, I have a throbbing headache

Poor girl

Fortunately, I have the perfect remedy.

First, sit down.

Second, stop frowning, I did not wonder why your head hurts.

And third...

... open this.

Ahead.

What do you think?

Dear, I can not take this in any of the ways.

- People will notice. - Why not?

It's about time that some of those people realize ...

... that I'm completely in serious about becoming my queen.

Do not you think that as a family we should Try to understand your feelings?

Your feelings? And what about his duty?

It seems you do not realize of shame and humiliation ...

... that we are all suffering for blame their feelings.

He wants you to meet Mrs. Simpson.

What?

He wants you to talk to her.

Impossible.

- Absolutely not. - Then what should we do ...

... before everything ends in a damn disaster?

All my life I have put my country above all else, Bertie.

Including my family.

When I think...

... in the hundreds of thousands who have given life for this country in the war.

And he can not afford even make a small sacrifice.

Do not.

Tell him that he will never receive to that woman, Bertie.

Never.

A good speech, Majesty.

And if I may say so, read with great dignity and authority.

Well, I had to be fine, Winston.

You have taught me everything that I know about making speeches.

And he has always been a student Very smart, Mrs. Simpson.

Now if we could get that a great cigar be smoked ...

... then it would be perfect. That's how I feel.

M rela.

Act as if she were already queen.

People adulterating it.

He's going after her like a puppy faldero in sight of the whole world.

You're going to wait until it's halfway through Altar way to do something?

I've thought a lot lately in this matter, Alec ...

... and this is the problem, I tell him.

I can not face the king in a matter of his personal life.

That is not the work of the government ministers.

The work of the ministers is to advise.

So I have to wait until let him come to me, and ...

... for that to happen ...

... someone else has to face l.

Someone close to him ... Alec.

Too much?

Oh, no, no! It is a blessing.

Badness!

Watch this.

Tell us a moment.

That man does not have any right, no right!

What the hell is going on?

"Lord, as a humble servant of His Majesty ...

"... I feel it is my duty to call your attention to the following information.

"First, the silence of the British newspapers ...

"... on the subject of their friendship with Mrs. Simpson ...

"... can not stay long more than a few days.

"Second, the Prime Minister will meet today with the Cabinet ...

"... to discuss your positioning.

"The resignation of the Government in full ...

"... a possibility that does not it can be ignored ...

"... would result in the call of a general election ...

"... in which relationships His Majesty's personal ...

"... would be the main issue.

"From my point of view, only There is a possible way of acting.

"And that is that Mrs. Simpson leaves the country immediately. "

Oh, Colonel ...

- He's right. I should go. - You will not do anything similar!

It's a total impertinence!

I think it's a sincere warning!

It is a threat, that is what it is.

They are telling me to give up the woman with whom I pretend to marry.

It is blackmail.

They think they can get let him renounce you ...

... sticking with me a gun to the head.

Well, they have chosen the wrong man

David, I think it would really be better for me to leave.

You will stay here with me. T and I are going to get married ...

... and better to be done to the damn quick idea.

To this game you can play two!

I understand that he is afraid ...

... that a crisis develops constitutional, Mr. Baldwin.

That is, Majesty.

I have discussed the matter with my colleagues most experienced of the Government ...

... and a great worry about the possibility ...

... of their union with a woman whose two previous marriages ...

... have been canceled through divorce.

I'm afraid that the public in Generally, I would not tolerate it.

I get it.

And you think you can talk for all the British people, no, Baldwin?

It is true that, since the war ...

there has been some relaxation in terms of standards and morals.

But people expect more of his monarch.

Mrs. Simpson was the innocent party in both divorces, which means ...

... that there is absolutely nothing in the law that can prevent our marriage.

Sir, I am not suggesting that Do not see her again.

There is no reason why I could not continue ...

... your intimate friendship in private, so to speak.

I refuse to take her as a lover.

And you talk to me of standards and moral!

Majesty, I would not pretend ...

You can not deny that It is a fundamental right ...

... that a man marries Whoever chooses

But you are not a man, sir.

You are the king.

And who marries the king becomes queen.

And she becomes queen, sir, of this country.

With all the status, rights and privileges that this entails.

Thus, in the election of a queen ...

... the voice of the people must be heard

I'm afraid it's part of the price that a king must pay.

I intend to get married with Mrs. Simpson ...

... as soon as she is free to marry.

And if the country does not like ...

... I'm ready to go.

Have a good day, Mr. Baldwin.

Going?

- But, sir, are you sure ...? - Have a good day, Mr. Baldwin.

- Good morning. - Mrs. Simpson, good morning.

No ... we did not expect it so early.

Perry, my aunt has come from Washington ...

... to stay with us a few weeks

Mrs. Merriman, a pleasure to see her again.

- Welcome to the fort! - Where are you, Perry?

I need to talk to him.

Well, I'm afraid that It's up getting ready.

He has a meeting early quite important with Mr. Churchill.

Can I suggest you have breakfast? something your aunt and you?

Thank you.

Mrs. Simpson!

Mrs. Simpson!

Last night I called you twice and this morning first thing.

- Why did not they happen to me? - Good morning, dear.

You have been avoiding me!

Every London is a hotbed of gossip and rumors!

All the damn government is dissecting my past ...

... my reputation, my character, and you do not want to talk to me!

- What's happening? - Of course I talk to you!

I just do not want bother with the details!

I'm very, very worried about you doing something stupid and you destroy your life!

Dear, with a little luck, we will not reach that point.

Oh, God, listen to what you say! "With a little luck. "

- Listen, they'll never let me be queen. - We do not know that. - Never.

But...

There could be an alternative.

- Lord Harmsworth asked me yesterday have lunch with him. - From the "Daily Mail"?

And he explained to me the idea of ​​a morgantic marriage.

One in which I would become your wife but not queen.

I would continue to be a citizen of on foot and I would have some minor title ...

... but I would not have any of the State duties, etc ... of a queen.

What do you think?

I do not know.

I do not like.

I want you to be my equal, my queen.

We do not live in a fairytale.

Look, honey.

This is your inheritance, you were born to do this. It is your destiny.

You will be a great king! You are already full of plans and ideas!

You can not leave it!

Talk about it with Winston, please?

And well?

He has gone to the palace to meet with the lawyers.

Believe what you can do so it works.

Only if it can be done.

And if it turns out that you're just grabbing a burning nail?

God, how have we come to this?

I wish I could disappear without more.

Really?

If it were not here and nothing this was happening, and ...

If it were not, if I left him, well ...

... suddenly there would be no no problem

Then go. Do it.

- He will not let me! - Wallis!

The only thing you have to do is to look him in the eyes and tell him.

Ni a, I know he loves you, He really loves you.

But leaving him is the only thing honorable that can be done.

Qu tale the possibility of choosing.

Show the world that you are not Behind him whispering to the ear.

But if he ... I do not know, he has some type of nervous breakdown or something worse?

That can not be your responsibility.

Oh, Bessie.

If you leave now, you will have the opportunity to save your own skin too.

Because believe me, if you come At worst, they will blame you.

The fault is always with the woman, It has always been like that.

From Ad n and Eva.

What happens?

David, I'm leaving right now.

You really should not say anything or try to stop me ...

... because I've thought it through.

I talked to Kitty in France, and will welcome me there during ...

... a couple of weeks until I put everything in order.

David?

Yes.

It is a good idea.

Everything is about to explode.

We can not stop the press for more time

The morning newspapers They will be full of the subject.

- Without a doubt of the most form sensationalist possible. - Oh, my God!

It's probably better that you're out of the country for a while.

And you can not do this alone.

Perry will go with you.

Yes, Perry, you're going to France with Mrs. Simpson.

Get one of the detectives and more than enough money.

And a gun.

Of course, sir. When are you, sir?

Now, man, now!

I love you

Adi s.

Protest her with your life, Perry.

That's an order.

Mr.

A morgantic couple ...

... an idea that you have received a lot of coverage ...

... in certain sectors from the press...

... it would only be possible through a special law of Parliament ...

... and I must inform you now that this government ...

... has no intention to propose such legislation.

- In addition ... - You will not be satisfied ...

... until I You have shattered, have not you?

Not give us the honorable gentleman a guarantee ...

.... that no irrevocable decision it will be taken hastily ...

... and that a character beloved and unique ...

... will not be put to test severely ...

... for the people he loves so much?

- God save the king! - God save the king!

Damn Winston.

Tr eme to the editors of the "Times" and the "Telegraph" to my office ...

... before 6 o'clock from this night!

And the BBC!

Get me Sir John Reith to the phone!

We have to solve this damn disaster!

Well, what are the damages?

For all we know...

... Churchill is about 40 deputies on your part, and going up.

And there are also rumors of a Real Party.

- Real Match? What? - A secret meeting, sir ...

... with the aim of creating a new party that supports the king ...

- ... with President Churchill. - This is absolutely intolerable.

I want all the members probed for the weekend.

And that they do not fit any doubt of that woman's moral values.

- Yes, sir. - I want it to be clear!

If he marries her ...

... we will have a queen of England with three live husbands.

Hi, David, can you hear me?

No! No, you'll have to scream!

Cari o, esc chame!

Do not do anything hasty! Do you understand?

You have to promise me ...

What?

Look ... Where are you?

Whatever you do, you must not give up!

Can you hear me?

Wa ... Wallis, listen, honey, just ...

Listen, just resist!

Walis?

Wallis!

Hello?

Hello?

Wallis.

- Wallis. - What?

We have to go.

- We have the press on top. - Oh, God!

I'm afraid you have to jump a little.

There's the woman!

Come on!

There are still many idiocies of "true love will win", but ...

... one or two articles suggest too much influence on the king.

The tabloids are divided in equal parts.

It seems that the working classes They support you seamlessly.

- The middle class supports his brother. - And the press would be?

Oh, everyone with us! The editorials have come out strongly ...

... against Churchill and Your request for more time.

All right.

Everyone wants this be solved quickly.

And the figures in the House?

We will not know until the first Monday hour, Prime Minister.

We have already arrived.

A small committee of reception apparently, sir.

Oh, God!

Esc ndeme.

Kitty!

Oh, Herman, dear.

Dear child. Thank God you're fine.

Come to breakfast, and we will take you to bed.

Not yet, Kitty. Perry and me We have work to do.

- He can not wait. - Come with me.

Baldwin wants an answer soon.

Do not let them rush you, sir.

Until Mrs. Simpson be free to marry ...

... the whole question is academic.

You will not receive your divorce decree for another 5 months.

Well, I say that they make wait.

Until after his coronation.

I can not.

I can not be crowned with a lie on my lips.

The whole damn world knows that I love and I refuse to pretend otherwise.

Sir, you have been subjected to an agonizing pressure.

I can suggest a time of rest and quiet reflection ...

... before take any decision?

Do not let Stanley Baldwin force him to nothing!

Let him wait.

Challenge him when he's ready.

That a king defies his Prime Minister?

The Crown was supposed to be above the policy, Winston.

Very nice, is not it?

It's your kingdom, sir. Your country.

Occupy the largest throne in the History of the world.

The people love you

It has the potential to be a great king.

A modern king.

I beg you.

Please, think again.

What would you do, Winston?

If I told you that I could crown you King of England tomorrow ...

... only if you gave up your Dear wife.

Would you do it?

Your freedom to express a public opinion.

Would you do it?

Mrs. Simpson, during the last weeks ...

... has invariably tried avoid any action or proposition ...

... that could hurt or harm Your Majesty or the throne.

Today his attitude continues being the same

And is willing, if said action solve the problem ...

... to withdraw from a situation that has ended up being ...

... both unhappy and unsustainable.

- Thank you. - Lord! Yes! Yes!

The weekend we has favored.

The deputies have returned to their districts and talked to their wives ...

... apparently, and of course, to the wives ...

... they do not like the look of it nothing at all.

Go ahead!

The statement from Mrs. Simpson, sir.

He is releasing you.

Good God!

Well, excellent news, huh?

Just the news that we had been waiting.

Is not that so?

He can not marry her if she is not going to get married.

It does not matter what she says.

I will not assume any difference for l.

Or for us

This matter has gone too far.

What we need now is a King with whom we can count!

He has always been the sincere desire of this government ...

... to allow His Majesty the appropriate and full period of time ...

... to consider your decision.

However, any other delay ...

... in resolving the state current uncertainty ...

... can only intensify the risk of damaging this country ...

... and, with it, to the Empire.

- Thus... - The minister of the day ...

... has no authority absolutely...

... to force... to force the king to do nothing.

No authority at all ...

... without a full consultation to Parliament!

Well, I demand that you do not say anything irrevocable step ...

... none irrevocable ...

Order!

Please, gentlemen! Order!

No ultim tums can be given to a Sovereign!

Please, can the honorable gentlemen ...

... grant him Mr. Churchill your time?

Order!

Mr. Speaker, it is given the Prime Minister ...

... of deep compassion who feels for him ...

... in all sections of the House?

I can not stay here, Kitty.

I must disappear immediately.

It's the only way to stop him.

But it could break your heart!

And what do you think it will do to him? the abdication?

It will be a tragedy for him and a nightmare for me!

But if I could at least persuade him so wait a few weeks ...

... in a few weeks I could be very far away.

But where will you go?

Oh, I do not know. Not America, that's for sure.

Nowhere in the Empire.

Europe is too close.

God, back to China, maybe. O Sudam rica!

Sudam rica?

Wallis, please, try to calm down.

Ask my mother and the Duke of York Come from Windsor, please.

Apologize for how late it is.

Gentlemen, a message from the king.

Signed in his handwriting.

And no more serious message ...

... has never been received by a Prime Minister.

Hello?

S !

Yes, David. Are you okay?

What?

The king informs Parliament ...

... of his irrevocable decision ...

... to renounce the throne ...

... in favor of the Duke of York.

It has been written an act of abdication.

And it has been signed by the king this morning ...

... in presence of his three brothers.

Your Majesty will stop being king ...

... tomorrow.

TO...

... at midnight.

Oh, Kitty!

Go ahead!

- Hello. - Ah, Majesty!

I was with the luggage Last minute.

It still does not seem really possible.

Well, there it is.

Look ... before you leave ...

... We have to decide how are you going to be called.

God, Bertie, not even I've stopped to think about it.

Y t ?

The rest of the brothers are all dukes.

What do you think of Duke of Windsor?

It's fine.

Yes. All right.

I will accept it.

What about you? How are you going to call?

Mother thinks that George, probably.

Like father, like son, eh?

Where ... where are you going?

Austria during the next months.

The lawyers say I can not even be ...

... in the same country as Wallis up that the divorce is final.

I heard that they keep the Same date for the coronation.

Same date, different face, eh?

Well, they would not allow something as insignificant as ...

... a change of king spoil the plans, right?

God, look, Bertie, I feel you get into this problem ...

... but you're going to do a great job.

You're familiar with everything ...

... and you have the love of a good woman to help you.

That's the only thing that I I've always wanted, you know?

It's 10 at night, Greenwich time.

FIVE MONTHS AFTER

Everything is over.

Last night I received a letter from Bertie.

I did not want to tell you on the phone.

Elizabeth and he will not come to the wedding, after all.

Neither will come mother nor anyone in the family.

None of them?

And in no way Mountbatten, Carlisle ...

Perry Perry: "It would be uncomfortable come My sincere apologies. "

This is not Bertie's thing. It's mother

And Elizabeth.

And that's not all.

God, I hate having to tell you this.

You have been denied the title of Royal Highness ...

... that is yours by right. I am sorry.

Oh, of course!

Then they are moving us away, Closing rows completely.

They despise me, do not they? Your family.

I have stolen their king.

- Your family, England, the world They despise me - Stop, Wallis!

- Is not true. - Oh, I know it is!

I have a sack full of disgusting ...

.... and ruthless hate letters to prove it.

You have an idea of ​​hell for the What have I spent these last months?

The only support letter I received...

... it's from dear Ernest, which is ironic, do not you think?

My family will change their mind. Give them time, I'm sure!

No, they will not!

How can you be so naive?

- Never, never forgive us. - Dear, please ...

(* Background emission: crowning ceremony of George VI)

I'm so sorry.

I should not have said it.

Taking.

- Something Borrowed. - Something blue.

Something old, something new.

They only made 50 of these.

It's going to be hard work, you know?

- Occupy the place of an Empire. - Oh, believe me, I know!

I do not want it to happen the rest of his life...

... regretting what has been done.

I will not.

If he knows you love him.

I always used to say how much that he needed me

That I could not live without me and all that, and ...

I really did not get there to understand it

But the funny thing is that now I'm the one who needs him.

I could not face everything that poison out there without him.

The only good thing in my life it's that man's love towards me.

He is all that I have left, so ...

... yes, I think that's love, is not it?

You also have me.

Oh, thank you, dear!

Oh, God, do not make me start! Come on!

Good.

Here we go.

The distancing with the Royal Family it was never resolved, and the Windsor ...

... they were forced to live in the I exile for the rest of their lives.

They were married for 35 years until Edward's death in 1972.

Without it, Wallis' health deteriorated and I lived secluded in his house ...

... until his own death in 1986.
