💯! So many wonderful Women who paved the way for others! ♥️♥️♥️

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you, I loved her story.

[@suekelley2109]

I just recently learned about her : read a book called The Women Before Wallis. About Rosemary, Freda Dudley Ward and Lady Thelma Furness. Despite what this video says most authors I’ve read think Freda was probably the love of his life before Wallis. They were together off and on for 16 years; but unlike Wallis, the other three knew Edward could not marry them. Rosemary’s story was truly tragic. But Thelma’s was too in a way. When she died suddenly in NYC they found a teddy bear in her purse. She and Edward use to exchange a pair of them when they were away from each other so she had been carrying that bear around for 25 or so years.

[@emilien.]

This one moved me to tears. On a separate note, Queen Mary (IMO) made a gigantic mistake, but because of that, we were immensely gifted with Queen Elizabeth II and perhaps saved from a king who might have handed the UK over to the Third Reich.

[@patrickmiller1834]

I agree

[@wuffothewonderdog]

Her granddaughter did hand Britain to the Nazis when she allowed Heath to get his European Communities bill passed which took us into the EEC, which became the EU.

[@hotoneinspai]

@@patrickmiller1834 I don't.... Much has been said of the Nazi connection and attraction to Edward... Time changes prospective's and picking out...As they have this one idiom is wrong... Perhaps with the right woman he'd have been a very different man? In fact I'm sure he might have been... BUT She was worthy of a free'er life and did so much more.

[@vori18]

Perhaps she would have been able to influence David (Edward Vll) otherwise.

Absolutely wonderful! Being a retired nurse myself I have to give major Kudos to Rosemary and her mother. I’m way past the having a baby stage, but Rosemary just went to my favorite girl’s name.

Thank you for this beautiful remembrance of Lady Rosemary. It's tragic that she and Edward could not marry, as their relationship would have remained solid throughout. She was a far better person than Wallis who spent very little time with Edward in his dying days. So much loss and regret.

What a great lady. I've never heard of her but this was a great story.

[@2anthro]

Remember that the RF was German. They followed social conventions, rigidly followed the conventions. Thankfully Charles and Diana's marriage was the last arranged royal marriage, a royal marriage arranged by interfering old women. Lady Rosemary made her life count, we are still talking about her. Thank you for this chapter in your series.

[@erynlasgalen1949]

There was at least one interfering old man in the decision to thwart the marriage of Charles to Camilla when they were both young and unencumbered. That was the Earl of Mountbatten, who hoped to advance his own granddaughter to that position. We all know how THAT turned out.

[@angelaberni8873]

Exactly. What a terrible mistake they made.

[@lisemeitner3915]

@@rinlo1424 Except he didn’t. Wallis did not love or respect him. He “newly” found letters to her ex-husband Ernest Simpson say as much. She married Edward because he threatened to kill himself if she didn’t. She also had numerous affairs during her marriage to Edward.

[@Juanita-gf4te]

@@rinlo1424 No he didn't.....Wallis never loved him, it was all a big game to her. She still wrote love letters to her ex husband after she got with Edward. She tried to escape marrying him when she realized what the abdication would mean and how she would be the most hated woman in Britain. She tried to call the wedding off but Edward threatened to commit suicide. And while it might have been love to him, it was also an excuse to walk walk away from the kingship he had never wanted. He didn't want the hard work and responsibility. He was a frivolous but demanding playboy who still expected royal privileges and he used Wallis as an excuse - they could have had a morganatic marriage - the people of Britain were accepting of that but he wouldn't do it because he simply didn't want to be king.

Thanks muchly for enlightening us all about this fascinating woman with such an indepth & well rounded presentation.

[@fly89]

but then you would not have Q.E. ll.

[@agustaharting21]

There’s also an eerie similarity between Rosemary and Princess Diana. Both almost queens on the same throne. Both beautiful and charming; they were the devoted mothers of sons. Both betrayed by husbands infidelity, leading to unhappiness and anger. Then they were both killed in tragic accidents at age 36. Both were greatly loved and grieved by the public.

[@MythicMindScape21]

I agree with you. Well spotted.

[@SafetySpooon]

I can't thank you enough for this; I knew about her, but never found out much information. But, yes, I think that even Queen mary would have changed her mind if she could have seen the future.

[@twilightpurpleglow]

What a wonderful piece of work! Your research and dedication is palpable. Never heard of Lady Rosemary, but I am left with a very positive and good feeling. Can you imagine to have known Rosemary, she did so much in her short life, very compassionate and dedicated helping others, her mother Millicent was as extraordinary too, she thought her daughter the values of life. I can see her and Edward, however it was not meant to be. What a shame destiny would take her life in a horrible way. Loved the vintage photos, soft music and your clear and gentle voice. I would add a yes....to Freda Dudley Ward biography. Somewhere I heard the Maggie Miller story and trial, plus her letters from Edward. I guess I have to refresh my mind. Amazing people have walked this earth and many left a very positive legacy. Thank you once again for entertaining us.

You outdid yourself with this beautiful biography delivered with sensitivity and beauty. What an amazing woman, and perhaps she could have saved Edward. He started off on the right track, visiting the soldiers with such kindness and one wonders if things would have been better if he had not married Wallis. Perhaps not though, because he had sympathy with the Germans before her. He spoke fluent German, and the British RF is German.

[@MythicMindScape21]

It's an interesting question. I think by the time he met Wallis though he probably was no longer fit to be king, she just helped him get where he wanted to go. What do you think?

[@barbarapaige4587]

@@MythicMindScape21 Thank you for your response. I think you are probably right, especially in light of his later behavior. I think Edward was not very bright, and had very narrow interests, and essentially needed a mother (enter Wallis). He never wanted to be king really, and Wallis was the way out. Harry resembles Edward a lot; wants the perks, but can't do the responsibility. The UK dodged a bullet , and was very lucky George VI became king.

[@MythicMindScape21]

@barbarapaige4587 Yes I agree. Also about Harry. I used to really like him, but after his marriage and his autobiography I find him nauseating. Thankfully we got a great queen in Elizabeth as well. So all worked out for the best perhaps. 💕

⭐️💙 Loved this biography. Rosemary was such an extraordinary woman to have been brought up with such wealth within the upper classes yet shown with humility, grace, bravery, and compassion. Such courage and strength to care for wounded soldiers displays a strong character. Her nature alone - self-assured, steadfast, compassionate would have been a great boon for the Royal family. I think she and Edward would have complemented each other. It’s always interesting to ponder how different a world it would be if a seemingly insignificant decision were reversed. Rosemary and Edward may have become the most popular and loved reigning couple. Elizabeth and Margaret would have led ordinary lives… I knew of Rosemary but didn’t know anything about her or understand her significance in Edward’s life. It’s sad to think of her losses but I imagine had she lived she would have carried on with great resilience and continually growing strength. Thank you for researching and presenting the life of this remarkable woman. She is certainly someone to admire and emulate.

We who do not have privilege would not have the privilege to enjoy arts and culture and good health, like we do: were it not for privileged souls like Lady Rosemary.

If you'd rather not answer I completely understand but I'm really curious as to what line of work (if any) you're in. These videos are so well done; the visuals, the research, the writing, the editing ... It makes me wonder if you might be a writer of some kind; novels or maybe even television. I really feel like you've had some sort of experience in this field. Also curious as to what got you interested in making YT videos & if there was a particular reason why you chose extroidinary women of yesteryear. Again, if my questions are too personal I'll understand. Your work just keeps getting better & better!♥

[@MythicMindScape21]

I worked as a lecturer in History and have done some work as a journalist. I used to write quite a good deal but I always have trouble finishing novels as I am always searching for the perfect word. I hope to return to it in time, as nothing brings me more joy than writing. As for the channel, I saw that there were many biography channels on youtube, but they didn't always tell the most interesting stories, they went for a lot of scandal and superficial stuff, and left so many people especially women uncovered. So just for fun I decided to create a few videos to see if I liked it and if anyone would also like to hear deeper stories of some rather known and unknown people told in an engaging way. I was pretty shy at first, and the videos are not perfect, neither are these. But I hope to get better as we go, and having such great support from people like you really means everything and forces me to stick to a schedule of finishing one per week :) Rather than always looking for the perfect word as in a novel, I sometimes have to settle for one I might not like as much. But it has been wonderful so far. ❤❤❤❤

I cannot believe these meddling mothers. Millicent wanted Rosemary to herself to work at her side, and Edward's domineering mother wanted perfection.

[@vickislominski7618]

It would have been a disaster.

[@erynlasgalen1949]

​@vickislominski7618 You are so certain of that? Edward was by nature a weak man, and a strong woman with the right character might have influenced him into being a better man and Monarch. Wallis was in it for her own benefit and that of of her promoters -- Nazi sympathizers. Reportedly, Wallis was horrified by the marriage proposal and abdication. Her aim was to be Maitresse en Titre to influence the future King that way. She found herself trapped in the role she had made for herself -- wife to a man who had given up his throne for her but now had no power whatsoever.

Rosemary is the grandmother of Rachel Ward, the actress from The Thornbirds. Rachel’s father was the baby in the pram when Rosemary’s son Jeremy was hit be the vehicle (Peter Alistair Ward).

Thank you for a most fascinating story of Rosemary. In her earliest photographs she appears sad, no smiles. She packed a life of service into her thirty six years. The loss of a child is something few mothers can recover from, understandably. Edward VIII wasn’t good enough for Rosemary. He was a Nazi sympathizer & gutless. Life was just a cocktail party to quote a RS song.
