Wallis, Duchess of Windsor

1939

[catherinetheprincessofwales]

When Charles met the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in Paris.

“I drove up with no small degree of anticipation as to what I would find in the Bois de Boulogne and upon entering the house I found footmen and pages wearing identical scarlet and black uniforms to the ones ours wear at home. It was rather pathetic seeing that.”

���The Duchess appeared from among a host of the most dreadful American guests I have ever seen. The look of incredulity on their faces was a study and most of them were thoroughly tight.”

The Duke was on “very good form, although rather bent and using a stick.” Wallis “kept flitting to and fro like a strange bat. Wallis obviously has her face lifted every day and therefore can't really speak without clenching her teeth all the time.”

“Uncle David then talked about how difficult my family had made it for him for the past 33 years... I asked him frankly if he would like to return to England for the last years of his life, and he hesitated to ask Wallis if he should give me "the works".”

“It sounded as though he would have liked to return, but he felt no one would recognise him.”

“I assured him that would not be the case. On the other hand most of his contemporary friends are dead and there may be very little point to coming back.”

“The whole thing seemed so tragic - the existence, the people and the atmosphere - that I was relieved to escape it after 45 minutes and drive round Paris by night.”

'Her contempt for the present King cut like a knife through everything she said. On the table was a copy of the current issue of the London Picture Post. It was covered with a photograph of the present King and the Duke taken during childhood. "Look at that," cried the Duchess. "Whenever did you see the differences in their character more tellingly expressed?" She pointed to the attitude of the young Prince of Wales - erect, hands just so alongside his sailor's pants, heels together, toes out in the proper military attitude. Young Bertie looked harassed and fidgety, his feet apart, his hands nervously plucking at his pants, his collar in some disarray...'

-Diary entry from David's ghost writer Charles Murphy, January 1950

From Once A King: The Lost Memoir of Edward VIII page 241-2

Isn't it funny how 'body language analysis' usually just confirms your preexisting biases and most of the photos people use as 'evidence' reveal absolutely nothing?

[I AM FOLLOWING AYESHA K.FAINES RESEARCH OF FEMININE ARCHETYPES]

↳ the sexual feminine archetype of the queen archetype.

♇ if you are the empress archetype that means that you got the queen archetype being your highest percent [aside from the lover] and you got the lover percentage lower than 70%.

♇ the empress is one of the sexual feminine archetypes of that belong to the feminine archetype the queen, whereas the other sexual feminine archetype is the diva.

♇ [the queen is the feminine archetype while the empress is the sexual feminine archetype, its associate being the diva].

♇ those who belong to the empress archetype are people who like it when people are committed to them because they are people who find worth and value in commitment, marriage, along with the reputation they have in a community they're in.

♇ they're people who can command respect from both men and women; and to majority of them, marriage isnt that important but they like to have partners that are on their level, or someone they can consider to be good enough for them.

♇ they're women who have regal energy and much inner-strength and that attracts so much people towards their way, they know how to inspire their partners and give their partners the attention "they need".

♇ majority of the times their partner usually depends on them for moral support, for example, kim kardashian's ex husband, kanye west.

♇ besides that, these are women who have an extravagant style, and know how to climb the social ladder to get what they want, that involves opportunities and titles/status. they're also the type of people to give people in the circles opportunities.

♇ some empress women might defy and resist their inner-erotic and sensual nature which can make it harder for the empresses to realise what they actually want in their romantic love life.

♇ when not truly stepped into their empress status, they are people who hesitate or shy away from romantic situations, emma watson, a good example, had a crush on her co-star tom felton but nothing happened romantically. [thankfully].

♇ when un-evolved, the empress woman is prone to be jealous, arrogant and possessive when they're in a romantic relationship, they can also have a tendency of losing themselves in relationships which can ruin their regal appeal.

♇ aside from that, they're women who demand respect and know what they're talking about whenever they're in a conversation. they have a big personality and can be very confrontational.

♇ they are very expressive with their face and their words, they're women who know they're the queen wherever they are, they know that they're usually the face of a product/band or franchise! this could lead to both queen archetypes, the empress and the diva.

♇ they're women who know what they bring to the table, very straight forward with their communication, might throw some people off because of it. whilst doing research i've noticed that majority of them always tilt their head down, it's like a symbol of them knowing they are above others.

♇ when rumours are made, they are quick to dismiss it as people usually assume things about them.

♇ these women always have a story to tell, they are the life of the party. they are very shady people, the type to make obvious backhanded insults.

♇ they know how to make their parents calm, it's either that or they like to feel above their partners, for example, having the need to wear the pants in the relationship. sometimes they're sly about wanting to wear the pants, it as if they're some puppeteer.

♇ they're women who like to surprise people; whenever they're in a franchise, they are mostly the iconic person or the face of the franchise, or even the female face, for example, emma watson with harry potter. jennie kim with black pink, nene leakes with real house wives and tiffany pollard [new york] with flavour of love.

♇ they're trendsetters and very memeable; they're unintentionally funny and will always be remembered for something specific.

♇ they always here to say the truth and tea, and are lovers of nostalgia. they get attention wherever they are, very smiley people. even if they can be considered straightforward they have an eloquent or posh-like way of delivering comments.

♇ when it comes to slices of life, they're very relatable people, they're great at interviews and excellent at getting comfortable in a public space.

♇ on the other hand, are the type to overthink and try to be perfect. a lot of them are well-spoken and like things to be very specific and detailed.

♇ some of them dont have a good posture, or they're always leaning forward; they have a thing for vintage stuff or things that remind them of the past. as i have done research on them, i have noticed a lot of them mention their family a lot, and majority of them are open to having families.

♇ often favoured when they're in a company, often viewed as someone who is bratty. due to them having so much of a regal aura people get intimidated.

♇ empress women tend to be interested in fashion; even if they're not the main person in a franchise, like a group or tv show they're most likely going to be the face of the show. for example, how scott mccall was the main character of teen wolf but the face of teen wolf was stiles.

♇ they're very hardworking people, depending on their position in life, they normally have a rags-to-riches story. are very grateful to the people who have helped them before they were famous as they are proud at the position they are in life currently, they are not afraid to flaunt their rich accessories and their success.

♇ they're very loving to children; if they do not value themselves, they will only find their value in romantic relationships. family are a key in their lives, are big on family dynasty and always know how to make money.

♇ they love jewellery but are not excessive with it, they can wear a lot of them but they dont over do it, they still find a way to make it look classy.

♇ they're social climbers and trendsetters, people like to copy them because of how appealing their style is. they like to become a better version of themselves, they're very transformative.

♇ people usually like to ask about their upbringing their pasts are very interesting to the public.

♇ they always have a new era, the eras consisted of them having a new aesthetic. a lot of women who belong to the empress archetype were always famous, where it be internet popularity, school popularity, community popularity, they were always known somewhere.

other empress ↴

♇ empresses i put above are nene leakes, nicola peltz, tiffany pollard, georgina rodriguez, majorie harvey and emma watson.

♇ when comprehending the empress archetype, you'll understand that they will always be able to make a name for themselves, they have stunning smiles and gentle personalities you'll see when you pierce through their cold exteriors. [majority of them].

♇ and to make the empress archetype easier to comprehend i gathered characters from different tv shows or movies that come under the archetype.

♇ we have from gossip girl ⟶ blair waldorf; the woman was definitely a socialite, grew up in a socialite household and always ruled whatever community she was in. she had created an empire for herself, and created a brand that included something she had always been great at, fashion; she did not have a rags to riches plot line, but she had the sass and intelligence of a true empress. and was even the queen of monaco once.

♇ from game of thrones ⟶ margaery tyrell; she knew how to climb the ladder and had every suitor she wanted around her finger. she wanted to be the queen and had gotten the title twice, had the shade and back-handed compliments an empress archetype can easily deliver, you could see it whenever she conversed with cersei. she had a fond for children and an intimidating eloquence.

♇ we have from salem ⟶ mary sibley; i know i have mentioned her in the other feminine archetypes but she is a very changing and transformative women. she climbed up the social ladder and ruled over an empire/town while keeping her husband under captive with her witchcraft, was very demanding and had respect from everyone who engaged with her before, even if they didnt like her, they still respected her rags to riches story.

♇ next from the frozen franchise ⟶ elsa; built her own dynasty/empire, is someone who doesnt know what they want in romance, specifically in the first movie, but as the franchise moves forward, she is comfortable being on her own and nurturing her powers and legacy.

♇ onto the parent trap ⟶ meredith blake; a gold-digger, that's enough lmao, love her character though.

♇ from house of the dragon ⟶ alicent hightower; she is evidently a woman who doesnt know what she wants in romance, another socialite and social climber [mainly because of her father, otto hightower], very tactful to get what she wants, even though she was evil, she did "love?" her children or did try and understand them, example, her and haelena. was a very shady character, especially with her comment to laenor about him trying harder next time so he could get a child that looks like him.

♇ we have from the resident evil franchise ⟶ bela dimitrescu; she was the leader of the dimitrescu sisters and even the face, she's mainly the favoured sister online, very cunning and conniving like a true unevolved empress woman.

♇ lastly from the great ⟶ catherine the great; likes to wear the pants in the relationship and will always attempt to prove herself. will always say what is in her mind, and is even known as a legendary empress, in real life and in entertainment.

♇ upon my research, i found out that empress women are most likely to have libra, sagittarius and capricorn in their big three/six; in order.

♇ along with them being sagittarius, capricorn or aquarius dominant; typed in order.

♇ uranus, mercury and jupiter dominance appeared in many of their natal charts; typed in order.

♇ going through all of the women i have in this post, the element that won dominance for the empress archetype was the air element, fire came second and earth third.

♇ lastly, the modality that took appearance the most in their natal charts was the mutable modality.
