I've Danced with a Man who's Danced with a Girl who's Danced with the Prince of Wales

That line Glory Glory Hallelujah, an American expression, seems wonderfully prescient.

I met him aged 8 whilst he was walking toward us on Bond St. Never forgotten it. He had an amazing smile and way about him which put a young person at ease.

[@saxondog2001]

I would have loved to have seen him in person. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@billwakefield1786]

Clonmore what did he say to you? I'd love to have meet him

[@celticmist14]

Was that Edward 8th or Edward Fox?

[@rwb966]

Amazing. He would have been eight in 1902.

[@watchingyou245]

@@rwb966 Your English isn't too good. "I met him aged 8 whilst he was walking toward us on Bond St". The year was Summer 1969. Edward VIII would have been 75. He was alone. I was wearing my future prep school cap just purchased from Billings and Edmonds off Hannover Sq and my mother told me to raise it as he walked past. I refused so as we passed one another she lifted the cap from my head. He stopped, smiled and said what nice manners I had! He had a warm and kind smile. My mother was very tall and addressed him as HRH and he was quite short. Never forgotten it. It lasted no more than a minute or so. Funny how certain things stick in ones memory.

Memories of watching “Edward and Mrs Simpson” with my Mammy 🙏🏼💚🕯 We loved this series and “Flambards” too,and we would always sing along to the theme songs.42 years have flown by too quickly 😢

@@Patrick3183 "Upstairs Downstairs" was somewhat more realistic. The young upper-class twits there were all disgusting scabs during the General Strike of 1926. The sequel years later was (deservedly, I think) a failure.

Love the song, loved "Edward and Mrs.Simpson". I think Edward Fox made the very best Edward VIII.

[@njplr]

That miniseries was stellar. Edward Fox did indeed do a masterful portrayal of Edward VIII. So was Cynthia Harris (I think) as Wallis Simpson. In fact, that entire production was, IMO, spot on.

[@cherylclair]

***** Have to agree. It's the best portrayal of the story I've ever seen. And I've probably seen most of them if not all.

[@cherylclair]

+Anne Butzen Oh I agree. And especially about Walter Monckton and Nigel Hawthorne. I was really stuck by the likeness.

[@peterlynch2193]

Great to find this song on KZbin! Clever, really intelligent lyrics. I watched the series, something like 38 years ago.
