She does have the tendency to romanticise historical figures. Joan of Arc is another example. I mean, that girl would be on heavy medication pronto these days.

Wallis and Edward were nothing but Nazi supporters. 

There's a big difference.

Uhm, he was Edward VIII, a king who gave up his throne to marry the woman he loved. It's a fascinating story. And yes, they were Nazi sympathisers as well and, having read some books on the subject, quite unpleasant individuals overall. That doesn't change the fact that they changed the course of modern history and their story is fascinating. Saying they were nothing but Nazi supporters is simply, well, reductive but if seeing a world in completely binary terms helps you sleep better at night I'm happy for you .
