Edward & Mrs Simpson

On the evening of December 11, 1936, England's King Edward VIII formally broadcast his farewell to a nation. Torn between duty and love, he had decided to follow his heart. A powerful fairytale made all the more compelling because it actually happened, Edward & Mrs. Simpson captures the unforgettable romance that develops between the Prince of Wales and an extraordinary American woman named Wallis Simpson. That she is already married and believed to have had previous affairs ruffles more than a few feathers. The scandal heats up when the Prince becomes King and declares his intention to marry his mistress, who has since divorced and become quite available. A critically acclaimed British mini-series from 1978, Edward & Mrs. Simpson features seven episodes shot in sumptuous period detail and stars Edward Fox (Gandhi, a Passage to India) and Cynthia Harris (Mad About You, Three Men and a Baby).
