The point in the movie was that the then Duke of York went up to Balmoral - in the Highlands - wearing the traditional gear, with his Scottish wife.
He found Edward and his American paramour cutting down ancient trees and a very untraditional party going on.
A great film - the politics are as fascinating as the main story about George's speech impediment.
History has not been kind to Mrs Simpson - perhaps the US's least successful export to the UK.
Of course, one could argue that Mrs. Simpson's greatest gift to the free world was a leader like King George VI who stood against tyranny...
