The man who would be king
Edward gave up the empire to marry the woman he loved
But that wasn't all. There was a third lover in the person of the Duke of Leominster, Ireland's highest ranking peer and close friend of her future husband.
The most sensational detail revealed in the papers was her rumored relationship with Joachim Von Ribbentrop, at one time the German ambassador to the Court of St. James and later hanged as a war criminal. Upon leaving England, he is said to have sent her bouquets of 17 red carnations, one for each of their trysts.
The Duchess insisted to the end that she barely knew Von Ribbentrop, and had seen him on only a few occasions at most.
