Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor and Jimmy Donahue, an heir to the Woolworth estate. Although openly gay, Donahue claimed he had a four-year affair with the Duchess. Cannes 1953. Car: Cadillac

In Cannes, 1953, Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, is seen in the back seat of a Cadillac. Captured in profile, she has a pensive expression, her short hair neatly styled and her face framed by upswept glasses. Beside her sits Jimmy Donahue, an heir to the Woolworth estate who, though openly gay, would claim to have had a four-year affair with the Duchess. His presence is hinted at in the reflections on the car's glossy finish, set against the blurred backdrop of a palm-lined promenade.
