Queen Elizabeth indeed went to see Duke of Windsor before his death
"The Crown" season 3, covering the time period between 1964 and 1977, In particular, you can see the death of Edward VIII in 1972. He was also called the Duke of Windsor and the King of England. He abdicated because he was unable to marry Wallis Simpson because of his reign. After his abdication, the relationship between Edward and the entire royal family was particularly tense. Although Queen Elizabeth was only 10 years old at this time, she may not have as much resentment towards him as other members of the royal family.
The relationship between the two of them, although we do not have precise information, they do know that before his death, the relationship was gradually easing, but not harmonious, especially because of the obvious conflict between Simpson and Elizabeth. So, what is the truth?
Elizabeth and Edward did meet a few years before he died.
Edward and Simpson, after their wedding in 1937, lived in France and had very little time to return to England. The royal refused to meet Simpson officially, and the relationship has been tense. However, at a rare public event, Edward appeared in London in 1967 to celebrate Queen Mary's centennial birthday.
People saw him bowing to Queen Elizabeth, but the Queen turned her face away, and everyone looked unhappy.
And the whole scene was really embarrassing, although when the Queen Mother saw Edward, she kissed him once.
Edward died of throat cancer in 1972. Only 10 days before his death, Elizabeth finally came to reconcile. However, there is no doubt that this meeting is really embarrassing. In a 2018 documentary film titled "Elizabeth: Our Queen", the royal historian Hugo Vickers pointed out that Elizabeth was "annoyed" by Simpson.
He said: "Several dogs jumped up and annoyed the Queen because the Queen didn’t like dogs that behaved badly. They talked about everything, and they had to talk about it, and there was only one thing that everyone knew. Ming. The poor man died in his room upstairs."
"The queen went upstairs to visit the Duke of Windsor. He got up from the bed with great difficulty and bowed to her, because needless to say, she is now his queen. , Or his niece, she came to give him this last courtesy, it is really high and deep for him." According to the content of the documentary, the two of them obviously talked and talked, doing everything possible to clear up their previous suspicions.
Elizabeth really attended Edward's funeral, and some people saw her talking to Simpson after the funeral.
However, despite this reunion, the situation is still very complicated.
