和梅根一样,34岁的离婚女嫁入王室

推荐人: 来源: 阅读: 9.91K 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.

和梅根一样,34岁的离婚女嫁入王室

沃利斯·辛普森Wallis Simpson长于巴尔的摩,和美国海军官员温·斯班斯尔离婚后,嫁给了厄内斯特·辛普森。1931年,34岁的沃利斯遇到当时的威尔斯王子爱德华。

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·马克尔不同,她和王室的姻缘引发了法律危机,1936年,国王爱德华八世放弃王位,一年内得以和沃利斯喜结连理。

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征惊人地相似,两人都非常消瘦,手指纤细,一头黑发,喜欢中分。

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. 

时尚感也不尽相同。沃利斯喜欢柔和的米色、褐色和海蓝,时尚达人梅根喜欢避开亮色。

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.

沃利斯喜欢设计师于贝尔··纪梵希Hubert de Givenchy),梅根在五月大婚时恰巧选择了同一品牌的婚纱。

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.

就连梅根前往婚礼现场的婚车劳斯莱斯幻影IV也和沃利斯46年前驾驶去往丈夫葬礼的是同一辆。

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《沃利斯的爱情》(Wallis In Love)一书作者安德鲁·莫腾说两人之间有着巨大的不同:“梅根有一颗强烈的付出的心,而沃利斯只想获得。”
