November 11, 1936
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Mrs. Simpson and Queen Mary, mother of Edward VIII, dined together at Marlborough House for a "woman to woman" chat about Wallis' romance with the king.
The Queen's invitation, "tantamount to a command," was not about exploring a friendship with Mrs. Simpson. Queen Mary is said to be worried and concerned about her son's romance because of the "uproar it has created outside England and the repercussions now threatening at home."
British newspapers are unable to report about the romance, which is front page news in the United States and abroad.

Interesting article. Everything I have ever read says HM Queen Mary
refused to receive her, although she had seen her at a court function earlier.
I won't be surprised if the story turns out to be false.
