Hello my lovely betwixters, it's me Kate Lister. Now my producers have said that they don't think that we need a fair do's warning for this episode.

So, are you just prepared to just take your chances? I don't know, it sounds kind of risky.

We're talking about Wallace Simpson and Royal Scandals today. You might be shocked. You might be. And because you haven't had a proper fair do's warning.

I don't know what that means, although technically I suppose we're saying that you don't get a fair do's warning for this episode.

It's kind of a fair do's warning. Hmm, how very meta. Anyway, anything could happen on this one guys and if you get offended.

I don't know what to tell you. Let's do this.

Today we are diving into the life of someone who is often depicted as manipulative and American divorcee who is sabotaging the monarchy.

No, no, we're not talking about Meghan Markle, but her great great aunt in law, Wallace Simpson.

But what if the widely known legacy of Wallace Simpson isn't all that nuanced?

What if there's more to her and her life other than her marriage and her husband and him abdicating her throne?

What if she was depicted unfairly in the media? I know, that seems impossible to imagine such a thing.

I mean, would that ever happen now? Of course not. So how could it have possibly happened in the 30s?

Today we are looking into the world of Wallace Simpson, the whole picture.

The good, the bad, the very, very ugly. From extroverted student to ex-part living in Shanghai to meeting the future king Edward VIII in London,

to broken marriages, honeymooning in Nazi Germany and tensions within the royal family,

join me but twist the sheets to find out more.

What do you look for, a man?

Oh, money of course.

You're supposed to rise when an adult speaks to you.

I make perfect copies of whatever my boss needs. I just turn him enough and push him a lot.

Yes, social courtesy does make a difference.

Goodness, my parents are damned. Goodness, there's nothing to do with it during.
