“Their affair ignited a scandal. Their passion brought down an empire.”

DramaRomance

In 1998, an auction of the estate of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor causes great excitement. For one woman, Wally Winthrop, it has much more meaning. Wally becomes obsessed by their historic love story. As she learns more about the sacrifices involved, Wally gains her own courage to find happiness.

VIBE

A sweeping, romantic drama that feels like a faded photograph. It's a wistful exploration of love and longing across time, with a lush, period-piece aesthetic that’s both elegant and a touch melancholic.
