647. Louis and Edwina Mountbatten | The Wedding and The Honeymoon… Is Over
While Louis and Edwina Mountbatten would have a 38-year-long marriage, it isn’t quite right to say it was a happy union. That first six months or so though – when they traveled through Europe and the United States, meeting Charlie Chaplin, Cecil B. DeMille, and dining with President Warren G. Harding – was a magical time for the couple. Once they returned to England and settled into married life, things quickly went sideways. With Louis frequently at sea for long periods as a Naval officer, and Edwina living large on her huge pile of inherited money, perhaps they were destined to have an unusually promiscuous marriage.
