Wallis Simpson: Ni Bella, Ni Rica — Pero un Rey Abandonó Su Trono por Ella

Wallis Simpson wasn't beautiful. She wasn't rich. She had no noble title. She was a divorced woman from Baltimore with nothing but her intelligence and a fierce determination. And yet, she did something no one in modern history had ever accomplished: she forced the most powerful king in the world to choose between his throne and her. On December 11, 1936, Edward VIII abdicated the British throne live on the radio, before 150 million people, for the woman he loved. Three words that brought down an empire. In this documentary, you will discover the true story of Wallis Simpson: her childhood marked by poverty disguised as dignity in Baltimore, a first marriage to a violent alcoholic that took her to China, her transformation into the most fascinating woman in London's salons, and the exact moment the heir to the British throne fell at her feet, beyond all hope of return. But you'll also learn about the darker side of this story: the royal family that hated her for half a century and denied her the title of Her Royal Highness, the photographs with Hitler that the secret services tried to destroy, Operation Willi, with which the Nazis tried to return the crown to Edward in exchange for betraying his country, the 50 million Swiss francs they offered him, and the most devastating end of all—an elderly woman alone in a dark room in Paris, fed through a tube, no longer remembering even her own name, while the British Crown secretly paid to keep her alive.
