Re: Wallis for a girl?
Do a quick google and you will find a lot of stuff about herThe short simplified story of Wallis Simpson is that she was a twice married american divorce who became the mistress to Edward Prince of Wales while still married to her second husband.
When Edward became king she divorced her huband and Edward asked her to marry him.
This caused uproar and Edward as head of the church of England was forced to abdicate in favour of his younger brother.
It may seem like a great romance but the Duke and Duchess of Windsor as they became known were two very self obsessed people, Wallis was very bitter that the British establishment refused to allow her the title HRH.
The pair were rumoured to be Nazi Sympathisers and just before the second world war visited Germany as personal guests to Hitler.
Wallis was also said to have had a racist attitude.
I just get the picture in my head of a spoilt selfish Opportunist with no morals and because the name Wallis is so rare its kind of hard to not seperate the name from the woman.
