The Thai airline, PC Air, has begun employing Thailand’s third gender as flight attendants, giving transgendered people an opportunity to work outside the entertainment and cosmetics industries, according to the Guardian.

PC Air, named after its president and founder Peter Chan, has employed four “ladyboys” or “katoeys,” as transgender people are called in Thailand, in its current fleet of flight attendants.

While Buddhist-majority Thailand has a largely tolerant and accepting view of its transgender population, they do still face discrimination in being identified as female and finding good jobs, according to TIME magazine. “Katoeys star on TV soap operas and grace catwalks at fashion shows, while an all-katoey pop group called the Venus Flytrap plies the airwaves.”

Skilled surgeons and lower costs for gender reassignment surgery have turned Bangkok into a capital for transgenders, and the Miss Tiffany transsexual beauty pageant is broadcast nationally every year, reported TIME.

“They work as dancers or entertainers or in shops, because society doesn’t accept them in other jobs,” Chan told the Guardian about the job prospects for Thailand’s transgendered, adding that it was their human right and dream to be accepted into society.

Chan told Reuters that the four new transgender recruits “might provide better services because they understand both males and females. And they’re well-trained according to the aviation standard.”

One of the new recruits, Tanyarat Jirapatpakorn, told Reuters, “Maybe in the future we can get any job that transsexuals never did before, such as police, soldiers or even pilots.”

The surprising aspect of this is that PC Air is using its employment policy as a selling point, with one of their ads showing a young boy walking onto a stage and becoming a woman along the way. The woman, Dissanai Chitpraphachin, is shown winning the Miss Tiffany’s transsexual beauty pageant (which she actually won in 2007) before transitioning to working as a flight attendant for PC Air.

Lindsey Walker used to be a 7ft tall basketball player called Greg.

Until she reached 21, Walker had muscles, dated a string of pretty girls and got a “manly” tattoo.

With his good looks, regular weight lifting sessions, and size 17 feet, no one would have guessed that Walker secretly longed to come out as the woman she felt she should be.

Walker, 26 from Ohio, USA, told of the moment she knew she’d finally had enough pretending to be a macho man, and how it feels to be one of the world’s tallest transsexuals.

“I just snapped,” she said. “I was playing basketball, it was my third season at college, I was really depressed and angry all the time and I ended up quitting the team halfway through the season.

“I didn’t call or talk to anyone and I didn’t come out right away. I went to talk to a therapist: I just didn’t know if I could be 7ft tall and transition into being a woman.

“That was probably the worst part of my life, I felt like I hit rock bottom. There were weeks when I was drunk every day for a while just to get through.”

However after Walker decided to come out, she contacted Guinness World Records to ask if she could be the tallest transsexual.

She said: “I don’t think it’s a negative label. When I was 17 or 18 I was a tall transsexual looking to come out and I wanted to see if there was an option for me. I thought by doing this I would help other people.”

However Walker was disappointed by the response she received.

“Guinness World Records emailed me back saying that they wouldn’t support me, I forget how they worded it, but they said they don’t recognise it as a record or something.

“They worded it real fine so I wouldn’t get offended but I kind of was. It’s the start of a transsexual life transitioning and there’s a group of people out there going through this. People just don’t want anything to do with it: I know people like that who just won’t recognise it, I get that everyday.”

Being 7ft tall, Walker could cut quite an imposing figure. She explained how difficult it was to find clothes and especially shoes that would fit.

“It was difficult as a boy to find clothes and now its 10 times harder. Shoes are bad: theres a couple of fetish stores that have something that size but otherwise I have to get them custom made.

“They’ll do it in Thailand but they’re really expensive: they are like $400 (£250).”

However she explained how being tall does have some advantages:

“People occasionally shout stuff at me in the street but they do it at a distance, I mean I don’t blame them, I wouldn’t want to say anything to my face.

“I do get emails that saying that I should kill myself or that I should die. No one’s confronted me face to face or verbally, and no one has physically assaulted me.”

Walker told how not all emails were negative:

“As far as dating goes, I get a lot of emails, but they mainly just want to have sex with you. I mean everyone has a fetish to sleep with a transsexual, its not just men, women have the same fetish they just dont talk about it as much.

“I have propositions from both men and women, although they are mainly men. I’m not really tempted: I’ve tried to date, but I’m at the point where I’m in a city I don’t really want to be in so I’ve kinda put dating on hold for now.”

However Walker doesn’t regret coming out.

Her recommendation: “To anybody else who is struggling, I would say be yourself. Why cover yourself up? You only have one life.”

– Four years on, Vandy Beth Glenn still gets choked up thinking about the day she was fired from her perfect job.

The petite brunette recalls exactly what her boss said that October day, how the reasons behind the termination sparked a lawsuit that could have far-reaching implications about how transgender people are treated at work.

Vandy Beth Glenn was born Glenn Morrison. At a young age, she says, she knew she wasn’t a man.

“It’s like a constant voice in the back of your head telling you ‘This is wrong. This isn’t the life you are supposed to be living,’” she said.

The voice grew louder as the years went on, but the Georgia native moved through life, earning a journalism degree from the University of Georgia and serving as an officer in the U.S. Navy. She’s fascinated by language, she says, loves to see how government works. In 2005, she landed her perfect job as a legislative editor at the Georgia General Assembly.

Around that time, Glenn’s life outside work began to change, too.

She received a formal diagnosis and name for something she’d long understood: She had gender identity disorder. It’s a somewhat controversial diagnosis but listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the final word for most psychiatrists. The condition is marked by discomfort about one’s own biological sex and gender expression.

Working with a therapist, Glenn decided to make the outward change. She began to dress like a woman, and in her personal life, the shift went smoothly. She beams when she recalls the support she received from friends. Some people who transition, she says, experience dramatic breaks with friends, but “that experience is alien to me.” In October 2006, she informed her work supervisor that she planned to become a woman. Her supervisor also expressed support for Glenn and for the decision. For Halloween, she made a first tentative step toward transitioning at work. She decided to come to work dressed as a woman.

The Office of Legislative Counsel at the Georgia General Assembly, where Glenn worked, is responsible for preparing bills for the legislature. The office does serious work, and it’s paramount that it not appear to take any side on matters in front of the legislature. But like in many other workplaces, employees came to work in costumes on Halloween.

Glenn wore conservative women’s business attire, nothing flashy. The outfit did not sit well with the head of her office, Sewell Brumby, who sent her home. He would later testify that he made this decision because “it’s unsettling to think of someone dressed in women’s clothing with male sexual organs inside that clothing.”

Brumby didn’t know that he sent Glenn home because of an outfit she hoped to wear to work every day.

One year later, Glenn, aided by her therapist, decided she’d come to work as a woman: Vandy Beth. She’d continued the charade – a woman at home, a man at work – long enough. Looking back, she quipped, “it’s odd to have two identities and not be fighting crime.”

Glenn’s supervisor made Brumby aware of Glenn’s decision. According to court documents, he felt concerned that a transgender employee might be viewed as “perhaps immoral, perhaps unnatural, and perhaps liberal or, if you will, ultraliberal.”

On October 16, 2007, Glenn got the summons she’d dreaded. She was nervous and suspected she was going to lose her job. She questioned whether she would remember the words and reasons her boss used to explain the termination, so she came with a hidden audio recorder.

“Based on previous events that had occurred in the office, I had good reason to believe that I was going to be fired, and I knew that if I was going to pursue any legal action, I would have to have my facts straight,” she said. “I didn’t trust that the man who fired me would necessarily want to accurately report the details of that last conversation, so it just seemed like the prudent thing to do.”

What fuels transgender backlash?

Under Georgia law, Glenn could lawfully record the conversation without her boss’ knowledge or consent, something she knew from a journalism class in college.

“I also thought that, against all odds, that if I didn’t lose my job that day, then the recordings would be a reminder of a great moment in tolerance,” she says.

It wasn’t.

Glenn’s boss said the way she dressed would make others uncomfortable. He told her that her gender transition would be disruptive.

It all happened so quickly. Before she absorbed the gravity of the moment, she was cleaning out her desk and sitting at home, stunned, with her cats as comfort.

Many months later, in July 2008, Lambda Legal filed suit on behalf of Glenn. The organization, which works to establish equality for the gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual and queer community through courts, represented her for free.

Greg Nevins, Glenn’s attorney, knew he’d found a good case when he heard about the recording.

“It was very clear what the reasons were” for her termination, he said. “It was very clearly centered on a belief that people should look a certain way if they are a certain gender in the workplace.”

Indeed, Glenn’s former boss made his reasons plain in his deposition, reiterating a belief that Glenn’s actions were wrong. The state argued that the move did not violate federal law and sought to have the case dismissed.

But despite the legal help, Glenn faced many other costs in the years it took the legal battle to unfold, the costs to her time chief among them.

Months passed before the court ruled on procedural matters, and she had to learn to be patient.

“It wasn’t so important to me how long it took, because I knew it would end,” she said.

Financially, though, the process took a toll. Glenn had to find a way to make money.

She cashed in her retirement savings and drew down her savings. She found work through a temp agency and got editing work from a friend, Chris Lund, who she said “did more than any other one person to keeping me out of bankruptcy in the last several years.” She remembers moments of despair and anger but says she never lost sight of the end point to the suit.

There were costs to her privacy, too. Glenn made news when she took on the state in federal court. She faced probing questions about her genitalia and which bathroom she uses. She had to relive the day her boss fired her again and again. What seems to trouble her most, though, is that nobody ever asks about anything else.

“I’d like to think I’m about a lot more than this. I’m not just a lawsuit plaintiff,” she said. “I’d like to think I’m an intelligent person and a good conversationalist.”

When she speaks about growing up transgendered or facing uncomfortable personal questions, her voice grows soft, almost hard to hear.

But when she speaks about movies or astronomy, she lights up. She rattles off lists of esoteric film directors – Werner Herzog is a favorite – and eagerly explains why Mars fascinates her: “We’ve actually been there. It’s not just some other light in the sky.”

She speaks slowly and deliberately, like she’s thinking about the impact of every word. She weaves in little jokes about grammar and language, then sits back to wait for her audience to catch up.

Still, it was court case that pushed her back into headlines in December.

A U.S. district judge had already found that Glenn was the victim of sex discrimination and said she could return to her job, but that decision was pending the outcome of an appeal.

Months of legal wrangling went by before the case went to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, housed in downtown Atlanta, which has jurisdiction over federal cases from Alabama, Georgia and Florida. It’s one tier below the U.S. Supreme Court and typically viewed as a conservative panel.

But after Glenn’s attorney completed his oral argument in front of the three-judge panel, Nevins says, he had a good feeling. So good that he went home and opened a bottle of champagne.

The judges seemed to readily grasp his argument and even agree with it.

His instinct was right. The 19-page decision leaves little room for interpretation: The judges held that Glenn’s firing met the characteristics of sex discrimination, writing that “all persons, whether transgender or not, are protected from discrimination on the basis of gender stereotypes.”

Now, after years of freelance work and living on her savings and retirement accounts, Glenn finds herself back at work and back at the job she loves. The boss who fired her has since retired.

“It feels great to be back,” she said, but she pauses when asked more questions about her return. “I can’t really talk about my job.”

She’s not bound to silence by any legal action, but she’s not comfortable discussing the job she fought so hard for.

She didn’t get back pay but did receive full pay and benefits starting in August 2010, after her victory at the federal district court, even though she did not return to work during that time.

Lund, the friend who helped Glenn find editing work, says her return to work is the first step “towards making her whole.” He stresses that she still has a tough road ahead to get back to where she was, professionally and financially, before her termination.

But Glenn says she hopes the suit will help others in her position.

“I know it sounds like a line, and I’ve said it countless times, but this was never about me,” she said.

Employment lawyers say the ruling may, indeed, go broader than Glenn’s case, as employment lawyers and professors think through the implications of the precedent.

Jamie L. Dodge, a law professor at the University of Georgia who represented employers in discrimination actions, says that because of the decision, she’d recommend that employers revise their policies concerning transgender employees.

The state of Georgia still has the option to appeal this ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. The attorney for the state did not return calls for comment about the option.

But Dodge says a reversal of the decision seems unlikely.

“The Supreme Court already indicated that this was the way they were looking at these issues,” she said.

In the appellate court’s decision, it cites a Supreme Court case from 20 years ago in which a woman was denied promotion because she was deemed too “macho.” The Supreme Court found that behavior to be discriminatory on the basis of sex.

Now, the 11th Circuit has said the same protection the law affords to others applies to transgender people as well: A person cannot be lawfully terminated because an employer objects to the way an employee expresses his or her gender.

But transgender advocates caution that the ruling will not end workplace discrimination. They hope for legislation at the state and federal levels that bars discrimination based on gender. Currently, only a handful of states protect transgender employees.

For the second consecutive year, a measure that would protect gay, transgender and bisexual state workers will be up for consideration in Georgia’s General Assembly. Glenn sees these moves as part of a trend. She expects prejudices against people like her will fade in her lifetime, although, for some, it will always “get their dander up.”

“Just hope,” she said, “they don’t have power over you.”

The first time the future King of England met Wallis Simpson, she left little impression. After all, she was neither young nor beautiful.

Her face was square-jawed and masculine, with an unfortunate mole.

Her voice had an unpleasant rasp, according to many aristocrats who knew her, and her idea of wit was raucous American wisecracks.

The person responsible for introducing her in January, 1931, to Edward, then the Prince of Wales, was his mistress Thelma Furness.

As her husband was away, convention demanded that one married couple should be present as chaperones at her weekend house party.

Having met Thelma through a mutual friend, Wallis was asked if she and her husband, Ernest, would provide the  necessary cover. You bet, they would.

Odd couple: Prince Edward with Wallis Simpson

For Ernest, an American businessman of Jewish extraction who’d taken British citizenship and revered the monarchy, meeting the king-in-waiting was close to the pinnacle of his dreams.

For Wallis, the connection promised an important step up the social ladder, with the likelihood of more invitations to fashionable parties.

Extremely nervous at the prospect of meeting royalty for the first time, she spent the whole of the previous day getting her hair and nails done. But whether the Prince even noticed is debatable.

As Wallis confided afterwards in a letter to her Aunt Bessie: ‘Probably we will never hear or see any of them again.’

Yet, just three years later, this homely, twice-married American had displaced Thelma and become the latest mistress of the blond and blue-eyed prince who was a pin-up for millions.

Not only that, but he had fallen so violently and obsessively in love that he was prepared to give up the throne in order to marry her.

Those in the know shook their heads in disbelief. How on earth had a plain woman, in her late 30s managed to bewitch the most eligible bachelor in the world? What sinister hold did she have over him? And what were her secrets?

Naturally, the rumour mill went into overdrive, helped along by the spurned Thelma Furness. The 5ft 7in Prince, she blabbed, was known as ‘the little man’ for another reason — and he was sexually inadequate and prone to premature ejaculation.

Gradually, the word spread: between the sheets, Wallis Simpson was in fact a femme fatale with legendary talents. She had, according to one speculative study, ‘the ability to make a matchstick feel like a cigar’.

The Duke and Duchess of Windsor arrive at Southampton from New York

Charles Higham, one of her early biographers, went into greater detail, describing an ancient Chinese skill at which she was apparently adept, involving ‘a prolonged and carefully modulated hot oil massage’ and various arts to delay gratification.

Indeed, it was known that Wallis had spent a good deal of time in China, where she was later to admit that her first husband had taken her out for drinks in bars of ill-repute.

There was even rumoured to be a China dossier, which detailed the intimate techniques she’d perfected, variously called the Baltimore grip, Shanghai squeeze or China clinch.

None of these rumours, however, has ever been conclusively proved, even if they do seem to explain why a king might forsake his birthright in order to possess her.

Still, whether Wallis ever mastered the Shanghai squeeze or not, there’s no doubt that she was unusually experienced for a well-brought-up young lady in the early 20th century.

Boy-mad while still at school, she’d married a U.S. Navy lieutenant at 20, and had at least one affair and countless flirtations before her second marriage, to Ernest Simpson.

Indeed, the likelihood is that she knew about a variety of sexual techniques, including oral sex, which would not have been standard education for most British or American girls of the day.

Wallis Simpson, pictured in 1931, had a very active interest in the opposite sex from very early on

But Wallis almost certainly had a far deeper and darker secret.

Recent research suggests that she might well have been born with what’s currently called a Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD) or intersexuality, which affects about 4,000 babies annually in the UK.

Some of its effects are so subtle that, even today, doctors delivering babies with ambiguous genitals cannot be immediately certain if they are holding a boy or a girl.

This does not mean that Wallis was a man, and she was certainly not a freak. In fact, it’s unlikely that she’d have known that anything was wrong, at least for many years.

Yet the diagnosis is more than wild conjecture because there’s strong circumstantial and psychosexual evidence that Wallis was not wholly female.

The writer Michael Bloch, who lived and worked in Wallis’s house in Paris for years during the later years of her life, claimed that he’d discussed her sexuality with doctors.

He came to the conclusion that she may have been suffering from Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, or AIS, which is at the milder end of the intersexuality spectrum.

A girl with AIS is born genetically male as she has the XY chromosome.

But because her body’s receptors are insensitive to large amounts of testosterone she produces, she develops outwardly as a woman.

At puberty, however, the build-up of testosterone can result in long legs, large hands and strong muscles that aid athletic ability — all of which Wallis possessed.

Another possibility is that she was born a pseudo-hermaphrodite, with the internal reproductive organs of one sex and the external organs of another.

Was this the case with Wallis? It certainly makes sense of an extraordinary remark she once made to a friend.

She had never had sexual intercourse with either of her first two husbands, she confided; nor had she ever allowed anyone else to touch her below her personal ‘Mason–Dixon line’ — the name given to the border between the Southern and Northern parts of the United States.

Without the benefit of a full ultrasound or scan, which hadn’t yet been invented, the condition could not have been diagnosed at her birth.

So although Dr Lewis Allen, who delivered Wallis in 1898, might have noticed the baby had slightly strange-looking genitalia, he would have done his best to reassure her parents.

‘She’ll grow out of it,’ he would have told them.

And, indeed, until puberty, such girls easily pass as normal pre-pubescent females. After puberty, however, there can be a noticeable drift towards the external features of a male — such as a masculine bone structure, accelerated muscle development and a deep voice.

Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson were married on 3 June 1937, at Château de Candé, near Tours, France

On the face of it, at least, Wallis fits the bill. The biographer James Pope-Hennessy, who met her in 1958, commented in his journal that Wallis was ‘one of the very oddest women I have ever seen’.

‘She is, to look at, phenomenal,’ he added. ‘She is flat and angular and could have been designed for a medieval playing card. I should be tempted to classify her as an American woman par excellence were it not for the suspicion that she is not a woman at all.’

It wasn’t just her physical characteristics that had masculine tendencies.

A well-known German graphologist, who was given a sample of her hand-writing but not her identity, concluded that the writer was ‘a woman with a strong male inclination in the sense of activity, vitality and initiative.

She must dominate, she must have authority, and without sufficient scope for her powers can become disagreeable. She is ruled by contradictory impulses.’

Few who knew Wallis would argue with the accuracy of that analysis.

Of more weight is the opinion of Dr Christopher Inglefield, a plastic surgeon specialising in gender surgery today.

Through his clinical practice, in which he advises patients on corrective surgery, he has considerable experience in assessing whether an individual is predisposed to survive as one sex or the other.

According to him, Wallis’s known physical and behavioural characteristics clearly fit the stereotype for intersexuality.

He points out that her angular, almost square-jawed face indicates a lack of the female hormone, oestrogen.

Her masculine traits become even more obvious, he says, when you look at photographs of Wallis posing with her girlfriends — such as her best friend from school, Mary Kirk.

‘Oestrogen is very softening. You can see Wallis’s condition clearly next to the very rounded face of Mary. Today, a course of oestrogen therapy can transform facial features. Had it been available in Wallis’s day, it would have dramatically changed her appearance.’

It’s well-known, too, that a lack of ovaries affects body shape and breast development.

Indeed, several successful models with an impossibly lean, rangy look are known to be women born with Disorders of Sexual Development.

Wallis, for her part, was whippet-thin as a child.

Thereafter, she became obsessed with maintaining a slim silhouette, which is of critical importance to intersexual women who want to avoid a masculine, solid appearance with no discernible waistline.

There are yet more clues in Wallis’s behaviour. Dr Inglefield explains: ‘The problem for these individuals is: how do you confirm that you’re female if your biological responses are not like other girls?

‘Often, for a female lacking female organs, being boy-mad is one typical response; another is to get married as quickly as possible, thereby telling your peers you are a normal female.’

Not only is early marriage often the norm, but so is the urge to dress in a feminising way because of the need to fit into society — and Wallis, of course, first married at 20 and later became famous for her jewels and couture clothes.

‘Look at me, I’m a woman,’ she was saying, in effect. ‘I’m not the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen, but I am so elegant. I’m the epitome of womanhood.’

Often, women with an intersexual condition believe that one of the most powerful ways to reaffirm their womanhood is by giving men intense sexual pleasure. Vaginal intercourse is often possible, even when the vagina is shallow.

The ultimate confirmation of womanhood, of course, is to get pregnant — a clear impossibility for those born without a womb. So it seems significant that Wallis avoided the subject of reproduction entirely in her own memoirs.

This is not normal. Almost all childless women writing reminiscences born more than a century ago, when birth control wasn’t readily available, manage in some way or other to refer to their deep longing for a child.

Or else they insist that a decision was made not to have one.

In Wallis’s case, with no career of her own during either of her first two marriages, she would certainly have been expected by her husbands, family and friends to start a family.

So when she failed to become pregnant, it’s quite possible that she consulted a doctor and underwent an examination.

At that point, the doctor may have been suspicious if he couldn’t see a cervix.

Her inability to conceive — or difficulties she may have encountered having intercourse — were probably a contributory factor in the disintegration of her first marriage.

Wallis’s mother Alice apparently said on her deathbed that her daughter could never have children. If that is the case, and if it was something Wallis always knew, she may have steeled herself very early on to the idea of being childless.

At all events, she seems by her 20s to have resigned herself to the idea that she couldn’t conceive and concentrated on using her sexuality to attract men instead.

Even her apparently robust self-confidence is a typical feature of certain women with gender disorders, who cope with the hidden, humiliating part of themselves by nurturing the belief that they’re special.

‘It’s not only a way of over-compensating,’ explains consultant psychiatrist Dr Domenico di Ceglie. ‘It’s also a way of managing the sense of inadequacy which would otherwise have been there.

‘If a woman knows that she possesses a secret which makes her a unique person, she can live with this by believing that she has something which makes her stand out against the rest. It’s like having a special gift.’

That gift became apparent when Wallis was still very young.

Although she lived with her widowed mother in straitened circumstances in Baltimore, Maryland, she was remembered by all her schoolfriends as both exceptionally flirtatious and one of the most popular debutantes of her season.

Born Bessie Wallis, she had ditched the first part of her name as fit only for cows and, according to one of her friends, brazenly announced that she wanted to marry for ‘lots of money’.

At the time, this aspiration seemed wholly within her grasp, as she appeared to have a magnetic power to attract men.

Many who knew her have commented on her sex appeal, her contagious laugh and — in the words of a friend — ‘beautiful dark sapphire blue eyes, full of sparkle and nice mischief’.

A bridesmaid at Wallis’s first wedding described her later as a typical Southern belle, who could no more keep from flirting than from breathing.

‘She could come into a room full of women and you wouldn’t pay any attention to her — but the minute a man came in, she’d sparkle and turn on the charm.’

It was certainly a matter of pride to Wallis that she was one of the first of her friends to marry. But her good-looking husband, a naval aviator called Win Spencer, turned out to be a drunk with a violent temper.

She struggled to make the marriage work, staying with him for eight years.

But when he locked her up once for hours in the bathroom, it was the last straw and she demanded a divorce — to the horror of her extended family, who prided themselves on their respectability.

After an affair with an Argentinian diplomat, who ditched her for another woman, she spent what she described as a ‘lotus year’, visiting friends in China. There, according to her friend Diana Angulo, Wallis was ‘infamous for arousing bouts of passion among adoring males’.

But none of her flirtations with the bedazzled expats resulted in a proposal, and she was horribly aware that she was approaching 30 and could not live forever on the charity of friends.

Just in time, through her schoolfriend Mary Kirk, she met a businessman called Ernest Simpson.

Despite being married with a child, he started falling for Wallis over games of bridge and was soon taking her out to lunches, dinners and art galleries.

Wallis, naturally, always insisted that the four-year Simpson marriage was on the rocks long before she met Ernest. But Dorothea Simpson suggested otherwise.

‘From the moment I met her I never liked her at all,’ she said later. ‘I’ve never been around anybody like that — she moved in and helped herself to my house and my clothes and, finally, to everything.’

Ernest, who worked in shipping, was moderately well-off and not bad-looking. Having enlisted in the Coldstream Guards during World War I, he had remained in love with everything British and was now keen to move to London.

Along with his air of dependability, this was a key attraction for 30-year-old Wallis. Still bruised by the shame of her divorce, she was just as eager to make a fresh start in a city where she wasn’t known.

At first, all went to plan. They found a temporary house in the West End, and Ernest’s much older sister Maud, who’d also settled in Britain, threw luncheon parties to introduce Wallis to  her friends.

Among them was the young Barbara Cartland, then a society hostess and fledgling novelist, who recalled that Wallis was not only ‘badly dressed but aggressively American.

She also told us rather vulgar stories and I was shocked to the core’.

But Maud’s friends were mostly respectable elderly aristocrats who did good works, and Wallis quickly grew bored.

A new flat where she could entertain proved to be the answer, and she started collecting a circle of her own — most of them rich Americans, such as Benjamin Thaw, newly-appointed First Secretary of the U.S. Embassy, and his glamorous wife Consuelo.

Quickly, Wallis established a reputation as a successful and unusual hostess who could mix a mean cocktail — or KT, as she called it. Her parties were small, but her attention to detail was second to none.

‘Wallis’s parties have so much pep no one ever wants to leave,’ commented one guest. It was Consuelo who introduced Wallis to her sister, Thelma Furness, the much-gossiped-about lover of the Prince of Wales.

Then 37, he was one of the most famous men in the world, adored for his boyish good looks and radiant charm.

But like Wallis, he had dark secrets of his own.

Several of those closest to him had already expressed the opinion that Edward was mentally unbalanced. Not only that, but it was even whispered that the future king was actually insane.

Intriguingly, as we shall find out on Monday, there is indeed evidence to support this.

Did Wallis sense this? Contrary to popular opinion, it now appears that his androgynous American mistress was not keen to marry him.

She was far from being the instigator of the 1936 Abdication crisis, but had to learn, slowly, to live with the consequences.
