Wallis and Edward Directed by David Moore, 2005

She was an American divorcé; he was destined to be England’s king. Based on extensive research, this British drama marks the first time their story has been told from Mrs. Simpson’s point of view. Was she a scheming seductress bent on becoming queen, or a woman caught up in events she didn’t understand and couldn’t stop? Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck) and Stephen Campbell Moore (Bright Young Things) star.
