Edward gave Wallis the panther bracelet in 1952 when they were living in exile in Paris as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
A shark attacked and wounded 3 tourists who were swimming on a beach owned hotel in Sharm El-Shekh.
The shark attacked a Russian tourist and ate his arm yesterday. It is thought that the same shark attacked the wife of another Russian tourist the day before. The husband lost both his legs, while the woman was very badly wounded in the back. Authorities are looking for the shark right now.
