Description: | Some of which are signed by Mrs Simpson; also a typescript copy of one of them, which was released as an official statement on 7 Dec 1936. In this, Mrs Simpson states her willingness to withdraw forthwith from the situation, if such action would solve the problem [the last clause was added to Lord Brownlow's draft version by Mrs Simpson herself].
One of the statements [9 Dec] further says: "Mrs Simpson tells me she was and is perfectly willing to instruct me to withdraw her petition for divorce and indeed willing to do anything to prevent the King from abdicating. I am satisfied beyond any doubt that is Mrs Simpson's genuine and honest desire."
Another, undated statement says: "With the deepest personal sorrow, Mrs Simpson wishes to announce that she has abandoned any idea of marriage with His Majesty the King." | Subjects: | Country Estates Church Of England Parishes Religion & Beliefs | Temporal: | Dec 1936 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
