American socialite Wallis Simpson, the “Woman” if she was even a woman, king Edward Viii gave up his throne for, there is a lot of speculation about this illicit relationship, Why was Edward so attracted to Wallis, she was neither young nor beautiful, she was square-jawed and masculine, her voice was “scratchy” she often sounded like she had a cheese grater in her throat when she spoke, so why did Edward abdicate the throne for her?

The seventeenth century marked the beginning of modernity in social hierarchy. King Charles II had come back from the continent after ten years in exile with a new thought on how to treat women. “These women were intimately connected with the king. They would experience the most immediate and profound effects of the restoration. In order to see these effects, be a major member of the royal court, and gain a higher social standing, women became royal mistresses. The women of Charles’ court had gained celebrity, independent wealth, and influence, and this was unrecognizably modern for this age and time.” Charles had learned about how to have a successful marriage and many relationships with his mistresses from the aristocratic women of France. Women in France were not only playing a prominent role in French court but they were gaining respect for it.

After Peg accepted Edward into the family, everyone in the family already started to treat him like he was part of it. This is shown when the family was dining at a restaurant and they all shuffled over to the side so Edward could sit down.

This looks like he is part of the family.
