Edward VIII, the former King, was left alone on his deathbed, sobbing out for Wallis Simpson in a heart-wrenching manner.

Wallis Simpson, often referred to as ‘exiled’ when HRH was rejected, shared a complicated relationship with Edward, whom she was married to for 35 years.

In the book “Wallis in Love” by Andrew Morton published in 2018, it is revealed that Wallis showed little care towards Edward during his final days.

Described as pitiful and pathetic, Edward would repeatedly call out her name or endearments, seeking her presence and affection.

Morton also delves into the intricate dynamic between Wallis, Edward, and Herman Rogers, hinting at a peculiar triangular relationship where Edward seemed more of a dependent child than a true partner to Wallis.

The narrative around Edward and Wallis becomes more poignant as accounts surface of Wallis’s affections for Herman Rogers, a friend’s husband.

According to Morton’s biography, Wallis confessed to Rogers’ second wife that he was the only man she had ever truly loved, portraying a complex web of emotions within their social circle.

The image of Edward dying in the arms of the wrong woman haunts the recollections of those close to the couple, like Ms. Alexander, who empathized with the Duke’s misplaced fate in his final moments.

While some sources claim that Edward passed away in Wallis’s embrace, conflicting reports suggest she was asleep when he drew his last breath.

As history remembers Edward’s abdication for love, opinions vary on the nature of his bond with Wallis.

Regarded by some as a grand love story of the twentieth century, others view it as a union marred by unrequited desires and unfulfilled expectations.

Historian Andrew Lownie’s book “Traitor King” sheds light on the inner turmoil of the Duke and Duchess, portraying a life of self-centeredness and disappointment rather than a fairy tale romance.

As the legacy of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson continues to captivate minds, their story remains a complex tapestry of love, loss, and missed opportunities.

In the echoes of Edward’s cries for Wallis on his deathbed, the melancholy of a relationship fraught with longing and unmet needs reverberates through the annals of history.
