Why So Many People Who Worked for Wallis Simpson Walked Away

Serving the Duke and Duchess of Windsor meant entering a private court built around exile, appearances, rigid routines, and an unresolved hunger for royal status.
Drawing on biographies, memoirs, correspondence, and attributed staff accounts, this documentary investigates why the Windsors’ household acquired a reputation for tension and turnover. It also tests one of the most repeated claims about Wallis Simpson: that those who worked for her rarely stayed.
Not every allegation can be independently proven, and disputed recollections are identified as such.
