Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, and Jimmy Donahue, an heir to the Woolworth estate, stroll along a sunlit road in Cannes, 1953, accompanied by one of the Windsors’ pugs. Donahue, who was openly gay, claimed to have had a four-year affair with the Duchess. The bright sun casts long shadows past a line of parked vintage cars, among them a Peugeot 203 and a Citroën Traction Avant, as a stone retaining wall and dense trees border the winding road.
