Edward and Mrs. Simpson

Edward, the Prince of Wales, is charming and has romances with Freda Dudley Ward and Thelma Furness. Thelma introduces him to Wallis Simpson. When Thelma leaves for America with Ward nursing a sick child, Edward becomes smitten with Wallis.

Rumors swirl as Edward and Wallis' relationship crosses the boundary between friendship and love. He introduces her to his parents, King George V and Queen Mary, but the King does not approve of their relationship.

In the wake of his father's death, Edward is knighted King and becomes frustrated with his new duties since they keep him away from Wallis. He starts to show intent to marry her and convinces her to divorce.

The King's Private Secretary, Major Hardinge, meets with Edward to discuss the relationship with Wallis. If she divorces before the Coronation, she could be crowned Queen. Global press headlines their relationship, while British Press remains silent.

With the silence of the British Press about to break, Edward is forced to tell the royal family about his intentions to marry Wallis. He is warned about the consequences of the marriage, but is in love and willing to lose the crown to wed her.

The Cabinet is firmly against the marriage between Edward and Wallis, but a possible solution is found. They can wed only if the marriage is morganatic. She could never become Queen and their children would never sit the throne.

At the risk of losing his crown and being exiled from his home country for life, Edward makes an ultimatum. The Cabinet must allow the marriage with Wallis or he gives his crown to his brother, Albert, The Duke of York.
