EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of love and defiance as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, exchange vows on the 3rd of June, 1937, at the Chateau de Cande near Tours in France. The Duke, who abdicated the throne just months prior, faced immense controversy and public outrage for his decision to marry the American socialite, who was twice divorced. Despite the scandal, the couple stood firm in their love for each other, surrounded by a select group of close friends, including Fruity Metcalfe, the Duke's confidant, who is seen in this image, smiling and looking on approvingly. The elegant Chateau de Cande, nestled in the picturesque French countryside, provided a romantic and secluded setting for the secret ceremony. The Duke and Duchess's wedding marked a turning point in British monarchy history, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the intimate moments of their special day.
