the windsor romance

So i was reading about the relationship between Wallis and Prince Edward, inquisitive to know more about the man who had given up the throne of England just to be with the woman he loved. On 12 Dec 1936, his younger brother, also the great grandfather of current Prince William, the Duke of York, was proclaimed King George VI.

Arguments can be made, of course, that they are shallow and self- involved. But it's also been said that the relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Windsor was the "Romance of the Century", and that their love was "deep and true." "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love." he famously said that in a broadcast to the nation. I dont know another person who can do that. Or maybe i do. People are virtually self-centred nowadays. In fact, im slowly learning that no one will love myself as much as i do.

Stories replay. People tend to fall back into the same shoe as the past. At some point i bitterly resented myself for placing myself in such a position.  Yet the consolation is that nothing is perfect. "Perfect world" is just a base to uphold theories in finance. Whilst the Windsor is a picturesque, the story of the Duke and Duchness of Windsor remains.


ps: Pms pls pls make ur magic work in these two days so that i can visit my doctor.
