Locked Away
Win Spencer found solace in the bottle, while Wallis sought connection through flirtation—a pastime she had mastered in the vibrant streets of Baltimore. Yet, her husband’s jealousy cast a shadow over their naval society gatherings. Fuelled by alcohol and insecurity, Win’s possessiveness spiraled to alarming heights. He resorted to locking Wallis away whenever he departed, even confining her to a bathroom for agonizing stretches of time.
Despite Win’s downward spiral and a brush with death in a plane crash, the couple managed to uphold a façade of marital harmony in public. Constantly on the move for Win’s naval duties, their nomadic lifestyle provided a shield for their troubled relationship. Amidst their turbulent existence, they found themselves in the midst of glittering soirées, including one fateful evening in California where they crossed paths with none other than Prince Edward, the heir to the British throne.
