The inscription to the small spherical watch, Wallis Easter 28-111-37 David in Wallis’ hand poignantly represents the Easter that the couple were forced to spend apart before their eager reunion on 3rd May and their marriage the subsequent month. Following Edward’s abdication in December of 1936, when Wallis was in France, the pair were unable to meet until Mrs Simpson’s second divorce had become absolute several months later, or risk jeopardising the proceedings. The letters and telephone calls they exchanged during this period document the strength of their feeling which must have been particularly difficult for them during Easter, a point on the calendar held as special by both the Prince of Wales and Mrs Simpson, commemorated with the exchanging of gifts between the couple.
