Wallis may have been self-obsessed and selfish, and a Nazi sympathizer along with her husband. But I have some sympathy for her, because the two main reasons that she wasn't allowed to be Queen, and then denied the HRH title, was that she was an American (she could have become a British citizen--or maybe she did--I'm not sure), and she was divorced. Now that Prince Charles, who is himself divorced, though his ex-wife died, has married divorcee Camilla, it's difficult not to see Wallis as a victim of a repressive moralistic mentality.

I do hate the name Wallis, however.
