129. Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Freda Dudley Ward
We continue our journey into the love life of the Prince of Wales this week introducing the lovely, and married, Freda Dudley Ward. This phenomenal woman was romantically involved with David for 15 years, and he sure liked it that way, until he didn’t. This one is quite a journey of a wonderful woman who played her role perfectly, in good times and in bad times too.

128. Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Edward’s Early Loves
In this week’s exciting episode of our Wallis, Duchess of Windsor series, we change the focus to the Prince of Wales. With a complicated childhood without a whole lot of family love, you can see how it would be easy for David to be swayed by romance. He does this romance dance quite a lot – sometimes with suitable girls, sometimes not. In this episode, we will explore a few of David’s first loves, including Marion Coke, Lady Sybil Cadogan, Marguerite Alibert, and Rosemary Leveson-Gower. No gal is going to ever be good enough for David at this time, at least according to his royal family. Also, there is a little blackmail and murder thrown into the mix too.

126. Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Her Lotus Year and The China Dossier
Hold onto your conspiracy theories in this one, darlings!
Wallis took a lot of heat for the year she spent in the Orient, her Lotus Year. Many folks pinned a whole lot of terrible deeds on Wallis this year, largely all untrue. Her year in China becomes the basis for the future China Dossier, which was supposed to dissuade the Prince of Wales from his married lover. That plan did not work out too well, and this year, Wallis truly steps into being the woman she is to become. Also, she will break with Win Spencer, for good.

Whether it's the debauchery of ancient Roman emperors, the Tudor crime family, the shenanigans behind the Chair of St. Peter, or the Austrian elites’ attempts to save themselves by trading their daughters to other royal houses, it turns out that our betters have always been among our worst. Join Alicia and Stacie from Trashy Divorces as we turn our jaded eyes to a different kind of moral garbage fire: Trashy Royals! Thursdays. Brought to you by Hemlock Creatives.
