Duchess of Windsor considered immoral?

In the 1930's, the fact that Mrs. Simpson was sleeping with the Prince of Wales while still married to her second husband was enough to brand her as "immoral". Truth to tell, plenty of affluent people were having affairs and menages of one sort or another at the time, but the object was to remain entirely discreet and NOT to disrupt any marriages or other traditional institutions (such as the monarchy) that happened to be involved. Wallis Simpson never did quite grasp the mores and customs of British society, the way the monarchy and society worked, partly because the Prince himself didn't want to bother with them and did nothing to instruct her.

On top of that, before getting involved with the Prince as a married woman, she'd already been divorced once. Social disapproval of divorce was intense in the 1930's, so any woman who'd been divorced twice was going to be viewed as morally unacceptable.

Other that that, she is unlikely to have done anything really exciting in terms of "immorality". Various rumors went round that she'd worked in an Asian brothel, where she had supposedly been trained in a variety of techniques that later helped overcome or compensate for the Prince's sexual inadequacies (which he may or may not have had), but that story was almost certainly as silly and stupid as it sounds.

The main reason was that she was twice divorced and whilst still married publicly sought the Prince of Wales later King Edward VIII later Duke of windsor. the royal family ie HM Queen Elizabeth II, the late Queen Elizabeth the queen mother the later Queen Mary (consort of King George V) all firmly believe that King George VI was thrust onto the throne and subsequently died prematurely. Also there are stories of links between her and Adolph Hitler

The "reasons" going around in the 1930's for her immorality were rumors of an affair with the German Ambassador with England (a high ranking Nazi WHILE she was dating the Prince of Wales). Her marriage and divorce to her first husband ("no fault" divorces were not granted in the U.S. until the 1970's, so at that time it was a scandal if you had a "reason" to get divorced, i.e., an affair). She was a devotee of the Oriental Sexual Arts that she supposedly learned while working in a Wh*re House in the East while her husband was stationed there.

Personally, I think they were just uptight and didn't like a free-thinking woman.

She, in a time when divorce was rare, and considered highly suspect, had divorced twice. Then set her cap for the Prince of Wales, making her quite the gold-digger.

Don't believe everything you hear, honey. That was just gossip spread by stuck up British people who didn't want to see an American become Queen.
