The affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson, and a contemporary romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard.
"
The Untruth: A simple, ordinary woman becomes obsessed with the simple, ordinary Wallis Simpson and her love for the simple, ordinary King Edward VIII. But oh no. Their love isn’t as simple and as ordinary as we thought.
The Truth: Wallis and Edward were famously pally with Nazis. Not that you'd know from watching the film. That sort of thing really puts a damper on frivolous romances with a pop song at the end. "
