King Edward VIII abdicated to marry Mrs. Simpson and they became the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. They were married in a French chateau and none of their British relatives attended. There were two different covers issued to mark their marriage and they have either a photograph or a drawing on them and are both franked with a French stamp dated 1937.

This might well be your last chance to get one or both of these historic covers which are now 85 years old!
