The King's Speech Scene 14 Summary

  • The duke and duchess drive up to a Scottish castle where they're going to meet Edward's mistress, Wallis Simpson. The duchess is annoyed that there are servants cutting down hundred year-old spruces just to improve the view for Wallis. But the duke tells her she'll have to be nice to Miss Simpson.
  • When the duke and duchess arrive at the castle, they find everyone drinking and being rowdy, which is hardly suitable for a royal party. Wallis Simpson loudly runs up and greets them.
  • The duchess goes to a window and speaks candidly with Winston Churchill about what Edward sees in Wallis.
  • The duchess suggests that it's all because Miss Simpson is good in bed.
