Wallis Simpson, initially born as Bessiewallis Warfield in the United States, was faced with numerous scandals in her life. As the American called the "most hated woman" of her time, her life turned into a complex mixture of intrigue and personal tragedy.

This new perspective on a woman who still employs the British royal family today not only offers a historical context, but also raises questions about her motifs and the ambivalence of her heritage.
