Edward was born in London, England on June 23, 1894. His father was King George V and his mother was Queen Mary. Edward was known to those close to him as David. Edward never seemed interested in hierarchy, royalty, or becoming king. Many said that all Edward wanted was to be normal. Edward embarked on an affair with Mrs Freda Dudley Ward in 1918, who was married with 2 young daughters, Edward fell "madly, passionately, abjectly in love with her". He sometimes wrote her three letters a day, in one letter he wrote "I'm just crazy to die with YOU even though we can't live together..." He said he thought "the monarchy was a thing of the past” and “his father was out of touch.” Edward said in letters to various people: “I feel quite ready to kill myself and would do it if I didn’t think it would be unfair to Dad.” This presents him as slightly unbalanced Edward was exciting, he enjoyed dangerous hobbies such as running and stealing, he loved nightlife, nightclubs and dancing and he quickly became a leader at the. fashion in London society Edwards' life was strict as the royal family had to maintain their reputation, which often led to Edward becoming obsessed with the women he became involved with doesn't seem so far-fetched. Edward exercised in an excessive, violent and borderline punishing manner, he also ate sparingly, he suffered practically from anorexia and was excessively concerned about his health. He particularly looked at the thinness of his legs, he suffered from mild OCD, an unusual way of speaking, social insensitivity, and often had nervous tics such as constant violin playing, which is why some believe Edward may have suffered from autism or autism syndrome. Asperger's, others I thought maybe Edward had... middle of paper... teddy bears and baby talk with the women in his life, Edward constantly defying his parents, even s They had his best interests at heart, all supporting the fact that he was crazy autistic. It may be that not only was Edward suffering from psychological problems, but perhaps Wallis herself might have had problems too, she got into various affairs, sometimes jeopardizing good relationships, like her and Ernest, and if Wallis was in fact a man that could be a factor in why his 2 previous marriages didn't work out. After the abdication while they lived retired in France, Wallis still had a hatred for England, English citizens and those close to Edwards for having exiled them from Britain, at the end of their many difficulties and conflicts. troubles they had in their relationship in which they found themselves. France, in isolation and retreat until their death.
