So, where did the Windsors go?
They fled. Off into the land of luxury and empty promises. So much for the happily ever after the fairy tales promised a young Wallis. So much for David's dream of living forever with his love. Do you know the one thing he never factored into his equation? That once you have that kind of power and lose it, you spend the rest of your life trying in vain to fill the vacuum created by its' absence. So, what was next? They weren't hurting for money, as the Duke was notoriously penurious (but not with his beloved Wallis!). Jewels. And those were just two pieces in her collection, which was later valued in the millions, when it was finally auctioned off at Christie's. So! When fairy tales fail, try a little diamond therapy! Fashion. Wallis was obviously not a beauty, but she sure knew how to make the most of her assets. What about the Duke? Get a load of these images: That last suit ... um ... well .... well ...??? It must have been some kind of fashi...
