So reveal documents released in January 2003 by the Public Record
Office in the United Kingdom. Trundle is described as a "very charming
adventurer, very good looking, well bred and an excellent dancer". He
lived at 18 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London (a prestigious address).
Simpson's first husband was Earl Winfield Spencer. The King met her on
January 10, 1931 but was not impressed. Even in the months after May
1934, when he met her for the second time, dined with her and her
husband in their London flat and invited them to his country retreat -
she did not captivate him. He did take her on a cruise, two years
later, unaccompanied by her husband. He tried to introduce her in
court, but George V was outraged. Upon his death, the Prince of Wales
became King on January 20, 1936. Ernest Simpson - who was having a
long-term affair of his own - moved out of the Simpson household in
July 1936.
Nor was Wallis the Prince's first American liaison. He contemplated
marrying one, Thelma Furness, but then dumped her for Simpson. The
British media - though perfectly aware of all the goings-on, reported
noting almost until the King's abdication.
