May 6, 1937
Mrs. Simpson spent the day trying on wedding gowns, although no date has been set for her wedding with the Duke of Windsor. He spent today, according to the New York Times, playing golf.
One thing is certain: the wedding will not take place on Coronation Day or the day after. The Duke of Windsor's brother, George VI, will be crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 11th, the date that had been set for the former Edward VIII's coronation.
While on the golf course, the duke had a "tussle" with an American photographer, who was hiding in the bushes. The photographer was ejected before he could take any photos.
In order to give the Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Simpson more privacy, their hosts, Mrs. and Mrs. Charles Bedaux have left the Chateau de Cande for Paris. It now seems probable that there will be a civil ceremony only, and not a religious wedding as well.
