Duke & Duchess of Windsor in France
May 7, 1937 - Tours, France - Duke of Windsor (formerly EDWARD VIII) and his wife Duchess of Windsor (WALLIS SIMPSON) in the backyard of Cateau de Cande. This was the first official picture of them together in France. Edward VIII had met and fallen in love with a married American woman, Wallis Simpson. Eventually Edward realized he had to choose between the Crown and Mrs Simpson who, as a twice-divorced woman, would not have been acceptable as Queen. In 1937, Edward was created Duke of Windsor and married Wallis Simpson in a ceremony in France
