Very somber photograph, she appears both elegant but somehow lonely...thank you so much for posting Miss Dalloway

I must say that this couple is really lovely.

So Wallis never had childern?
I think that is cute that she had so many dogs.

Not the best shot but I've seen pictures on set and the resemblance and looks are convincing.
Tom Hollander plays the Duke of Windsor.

I'm reading a book on her now called The Secret Life of Wallis Simpson and it details how she was taught in brothels, allegedly, apparently it came in handy cause the duke had strange bedroom behavior...it's also full of all the info about she and the duke being Nazi sympathizers......I didn't think it was true but there is a lot of damning evidence...

How exactly does one sign up for this kind of training, do madams advertise in the Learning Annex catalog or something?

It annoys me to no end that there aren't really many books about Wallis's fantastic style! She always looked so flawless and impeccable! She's probably my second favorite fashion icon after Jackie O.

The Duchess of Windsor's Wardrobe to be auctioned off

I think this is exciting and tragic. Exciting, because it will be intriguing to see how much each item fetches, but tragic because it will all be scattered. I'd rather the wardrobe get donated to a museum.

exactly!someone has to buy her whole wardrobe,just like Daphne Guinness did with Isabelle Blow's!it's so sad that it's getting teared apart
