和梅根一樣,34歲的離婚女嫁入王室

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 1.1W 次

Wallis Simpson, who grew up in Baltimore, had divorced U.S. naval officer Win Spencer and was still married to her second husband, Ernest Simpson, when she met Edward, then Prince of Wales, in 1931. She was also 34.

和梅根一樣,34歲的離婚女嫁入王室

沃利斯·辛普森Wallis Simpson長於巴爾的摩,和美國海軍官員溫·斯班斯爾離婚後,嫁給了厄內斯特·辛普森。1931年,34歲的沃利斯遇到當時的威爾斯王子愛德華。

Unlike Meghan, of course, Wallis's royal romance caused a constitutional crisis — King Edward VIII abdicated in 1936 after less than a year so he could marry her.

沃利斯和梅根·馬克爾不同,她和王室的姻緣引發了法律危機,1936年,國王愛德華八世放棄王位,一年內得以和沃利斯喜結連理。

But the physical similarities between both women are indeed startling: both are slender with delicate hands, and have strikingly dark hair worn mostly in a centre parting.

但是沃利斯和梅根的生理特徵驚人地相似,兩人都非常消瘦,手指纖細,一頭黑髮,喜歡中分。

They're stylish, too. Wallis stuck to a muted palette of beige, taupe and navy — while, with a few exceptions, chic Meghan also tends to shun bright colours. 

時尚感也不盡相同。沃利斯喜歡柔和的米色、褐色和海藍,時尚達人梅根喜歡避開亮色。

Wallis favoured designer Hubert de Givenchy, while Meghan chose a gown by the same fashion house for her wedding at St George's Chapel, Windsor, in May.

沃利斯喜歡設計師于貝爾··紀梵希Hubert de Givenchy),梅根在五月大婚時恰巧選擇了同一品牌的婚紗。

Even the Rolls-Royce Phantom IV that took Meghan to her wedding was the same car that carried Wallis to her husband's funeral at that venue 46 years earlier.

就連梅根前往婚禮現場的婚車勞斯萊斯幻影IV也和沃利斯46年前駕駛去往丈夫葬禮的是同一輛。

But Andrew Morton, author of biography Wallis In Love, says there is one huge, crucial difference between them: 'Meghan seems to have a sense of wanting to give back, whereas Wallis only ever wanted to take.' 

但是《沃利斯的愛情》(Wallis In Love)一書作者安德魯·莫騰說兩人之間有着巨大的不同:“梅根有一顆強烈的付出的心,而沃利斯只想獲得。”
