Wallis Simpson, as played by Lia Williams, is one of the most controversial members of the Royal family. After two divorces, she fell in love with and became engaged to King Edward VIII. The United Kingdom and its Dominions couldn’t stomach the King marrying an American with multiple divorces, forcing King Edward to give up his crown.

When King Edward VI took over, he created the title of “Duke of Windsor” for his brother. Wallis Simpson, as his spouse, became known as the Duchess of Windsor. In the picture above, the real Duchess of Windsor is on the left. Ahead, is that Winston Churchill or John Lithgow?
