EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Mr. Ernest Aldrich Simpson, born in New York but later becoming a naturalized British citizen, is depicted in the prime of his life in 1936. At this time, Simpson was the husband of the enigmatic Wallis Warfield Spencer, who would later become better known as the Duchess of Windsor following the abdication of King Edward VIII. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor's relationship was the subject of much controversy during this period, as Edward's decision to abdicate the throne in order to marry Wallis, who was divorced, caused a constitutional crisis. Simpson, who was previously married but divorced, was also divorced, making their union unacceptable to the Church of England and the British public. In this image, Mr. Simpson is seen wearing a classic bowler hat, a common accessory for gentlemen of the time. His confident and dapper appearance belies the turmoil that was unfolding in the royal family and the wider world. The photograph serves as a snapshot of a moment in history, capturing the essence of a man who would become inextricably linked to one of the most significant events in the history of the British monarchy. Ernest Aldrich Simpson's life and relationship with Wallis Warfield Spencer would continue to make headlines for years to come, as they lived in exile in France and remained a source of fascination for the public. This photograph, however, offers a glimpse into their past, a time when their future was uncertain and the outcome of their actions was still unknown.
