Edward VIII of England, eldest son of George V and Mary of Teck, abdicated because of his love affair with American-born divorcee Wallis Simpson. After his abdication, he became Duke of Windsor and married Mrs. Simpson, who had changed her name by deed poll to Wallis Warfield, in a private ceremony on 3 June 1937. Only 16 people attended the wedding.

Julie Pellegrin, a former curator of Chateau de Cand茅, explains how Wallis Simpson married in pale blue - a colour that became famous because she wore it so frequently - and a 'strange hat with feathers'.
