It seems nothing can stop true love or, at least, forbidden love.
Let’s explore some of the most scandalous relationships from the past hundred years.
That went about as well as you might expect.
Prime Minister Baldwin told King Edward VIII that the people would not accept Simpson as queen.
This would mean he could remain as king but Simpson would not become queen.
For love and happiness, it seems.
Later she reiterated, “We’ve been very happy,” while reaching for her husband’s hand.
While the show is fictional, it is based on true stories.
The show’s creator Peter Morgan has ample material.
Morgan even called Margaret’s life “a terrific story” wheninterviewed by Radio Times.
According toThe Telegraph, Margaret met Townsend when she was a teenager.
Townsend continued working for the family after Margaret’s father died, and he and his wife eventually divorced.
Ultimately, Margaret made the difficult decision not to marry Townsend.
Prior to getting married, the Cambridge-taught photographer and Princess Margaret dated for some time in secret.
Did Margaret finally get her happily-ever-after?
Margaret’s marriage to Armstrong-Jones dissolved just as her relationship with Townsend did.
After 16 years of marriage and two children, the two separated.
What a relief that must have been for Margaret.
As it turns out, their relationship was a pretty scandalous facade.
The veryidea that their ten-year marriage was in dire trouble was unthinkable even to the notoriouslyimaginative tabloid press."
Dire trouble, indeed.
By royal standards, the two were a perfect match.
Charles also revealed that he “[needs Camilla] several times a week.”
In 2005, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles became more than “great friends” and finally wed.
According toThe Times, the queen gave her blessing on the arguably distasteful relationship.
However, she chose not to attend the ceremony.
Her secret love affair with Hoare, much like her relationship with Hewitt, apparently lasted for fouryears.
In addition, Diana had salacious phone calls of her own.
Fidelity was apparently neither Charles nor Diana’s strong point.
It wouldn’t be difficult to understand if that’s why their marriage ended.
However, work wasn’t the only thing tearing the two apart.
Ferguson was later photographed in a compromising situation with another Texan, this time her financial advisor John Bryan.
This meansthreechildren of Queen Elizabeth II are divorcees.
As each child divorced, you’re able to only imagine how the queen must have reacted.
Anne’s divorce was likely particularly troubling as she was apparently involved in quite a scandalous affair.
He served the queen in the same capacity as Margaret’s former love interest Captain Peter Townsend.
After officially divorcing Phillips, Anne and Laurence married in Scotland.
As Prince Charles and Princess Diana had just separated, Diana did not attend the ceremony.
However, that doesn’t mean their relationship wasn’t scandalous.
Before the two wed, Middleton could be referred to as a “commoner.”
Still, her social status was a point of contention.
It is now known that Middleton is referred to as Catherine, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge.
Thank goodness that wasn’t the case.
Meanwhile, her friends and family were pumped for private information about the former “Suits” star.
“That was one of the biggest reasons to leave.
Thankfully, they managed to carve out a life for themselves elsewhere.
Prince Andrew and Koo Stark
Before Meghan Markle, there was Koo Stark.
“She caused a sensation,” royal family expert Charles Rae revealed.
“Everyone was fascinated by her particularly her past.”
They were set up on a blind date in 1981 and hit it off immediately.
