Wallis Simpson reportedly left King Edward VIII on his deathbed for another man

King Edward VIII may have abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Simpson, but according to biographer Andrew Morton’s latest book, Wallis in Love, their romance didn’t exactly have a happy ending.

Morton claims Simpson actually left her husband -- known as the Duke of Windsor after his abdication -- when he was on his deathbed.

Simpson allegedly left him in his nurse Julie Chatard Alexander's care while he died following a battle with throat cancer. The Duke's wife was not with him when he died.

"Poor fellow," Alexander said. "He would call her name over and over: 'Wallis, Wallis, Wallis.' Or, 'Darling, Darling.' It was pathetic and so sad, like a lamb calling for its mother."

According to People, Simpson had reportedly also told a longtime friend, Herman Rogers, that she loved him. Though she met him as her first marriage was falling apart, Rogers was married to her friend, Katherine, so she stayed away, eventually marrying King Edward VIII. Rogers gave her away at the ceremony.

After Katherine died and Rogers remarried, Simpson told his new wife, "He's the only man I've ever loved."

"She became rude, odious," Simpson's friend Lady Gladwyn said after Rogers' remarriage. "She spent all her time staying in nightclubs until dawn and sending the Duke home early: 'Buzz off, mosquito.'"
