EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Herman and Katherine Rogers, esteemed friends of King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, in their elegant residence in Cannes during the tumultuous events of the abdication crisis in December 1936. The Rogers were known for their hospitality and graciousness, and they opened their doors to Wallis Simpson during this pivotal moment in history. King Edward VIII, having abdicated the throne in favor of his brother, George VI, was forced to leave England, and the Rogers' home became a refuge for the disgraced royal couple. Wallis Simpson, who would later become the Duchess of Windsor, is seen here in casual attire, looking radiant and at ease, while Herman Rogers, a successful American businessman, and Katherine Rogers, a former Ziegfeld girl, exude an air of sophistication and warmth. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of these intriguing historical figures during a time of great upheaval and change in the British monarchy.
