Edward’s Funeral
Following Edward Windsor’s passing, the royal family extended a fleeting moment of solace to his grieving widow, Wallis. Queen Elizabeth II facilitated Edward’s return to England for his funeral and offered Wallis accommodation at Buckingham Palace during the somber occasion. However, amidst her profound sorrow, Wallis found little comfort in this temporary respite.
At the funeral, Wallis exhibited peculiar behavior, prompting speculation that she may have been under the influence of tranquilizers. The royal family, uncomfortable with Wallis’ presence, swiftly arranged her return to France after the funeral, severing ties with her entirely. Thus, the brief glimpse of hospitality dissolved, leaving Wallis adrift in her grief, estranged from the royal fold once more.
