Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, carefully crosses a narrow gangplank to board the yacht *Olnico* in the crowded harbor of Cannes, 1951. Dressed in a dark, knee-length dress, she is followed by Jimmy Donahue, a Woolworth heir in a vertically striped shirt and trousers. Although openly gay, Donahue claimed he had a four-year affair with the Duchess. The marina is filled with boats, their tall masts rising against the bright sky.
