Of course she does, Wallis Simpson did nothing wrong, she was being punished for the crimes of the Duke, but she stood by him to the end, and never did anything to deserve the treatment she got, the Duchess of Windsor gets a bad rap.
Diana was stripped of HRH and title as well, but pretty sure Princess Di qualifies, and if she qualifies, then Wallis definitely qualifies, because Wallis stood by her man, through thick and thin, usque ad finem.
They trashed her for being a harlot, but she proved herself to be nothing of the sort, you never saw Wallis Simpson cavorting around with swarthy Egyptians and whatnot, they kicked the King out of the Firm, the only one who stayed loyal to the King, was Wallis Simpson, God bless her.
Meaghan Markle is Wallis SImpson 2.0, but now that the Firm has figured out that it's good PR, they'll treat her like gold, whereas Wallis got blamed for everything, by the mother-in-law, which; nonsense. The mother-in-laws fury was all about her son, she just took it out on Wallis as his proxy.
Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, was simply ahead of her time, the only problem was, George V and Mary of Teck, were not, they were of the 19th century, and the battles between the parents and son had gone on for years beforehand, bitterly, so Wallis just walked into that hornet's nest, but in the end, she behaved more like a Royal than they did, they did themselves no credit in the way they treated her, and history has vindicated her.
Wallis Simpson, was an iron lady, took everything they threw at her, with a stiff upper lip, wot? Good on her, she wasn't a blubbering self pitying dingbat like that Diana Spencer, Diana Spencer wasn't fit to be Wallis Simpson's maid, never mind Princess of Wales.
