Edward, once known as Edward VIII of England before his abdication, stands tall beside his beloved wife Wallis Simpson. Their arrival after spending a winter in the United States is met with an air of elegance and sophistication. Accompanying them on this journey are their loyal canine companions, who add a touch of warmth and playfulness to the scene. As they step off the train, one can only imagine the whispers that must have filled the air - for this couple's love story was anything but ordinary. Edward's decision to relinquish his throne stemmed from his deep affection for American-born divorcee Wallis Simpson. Despite societal pressures and controversy surrounding their relationship, they chose love above all else. And so it was that Edward became known as the Duke of Windsor upon abdicating his royal duties. Their union was sealed in a private ceremony held at Chateau de Cand in Monts, France on June 3rd, 1937.

As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are reminded that true love knows no boundaries or titles; it simply
